One could, if the colours were correct, mistake it for the scottish flag, couldn't one !!?? Apart from that ,yes it would look good.

The plan was to paint the pipework very 3-D and realistic with shaows falling on the background which could be either black to match the plastic bits or in my case turquoise.

The downside was that it was about £400 for the paint job!

Still hanker after it though... Maybe one day

Yep, it's got potential, £400 is a bit much though!

Anyone know of a less expensive way to achieve it?

Stickers? (that's a serious suggestion)

I bet that some bright spark somewhere (Mark?) can produce stick on images printed from the computer onto a suitable material.
