Upside down double-cream carton, the lid from a pack of vending machine plastic cups, a cardboard roof and supports for the coffee cup packaging, a red gem from a pack of MtG "life tokens" and a GW High Elf shield and voila ... an Elven Watchtower.

Never underestimate the power of discarded packaging :)

I dont think so...I am sure you could afford some plastic cups and a cream carton lid without resorting to that

Only thing Pot Noodle cartons are good for is for is collecting the masticated ( I said masticated) mouthful of 'food' that you spit back into them.  :-& :-&
Cheers - Phil. ;) ;D

Perhaps the Pot Noodles themselves could be used to cover the model in lieu of plaster?

of course you'd have to leave out the sachet of flavourings.

Bear in mind FSN lives in Runcorn - almost as many chemical works there as Smoggy, and it STINKS......

Innocent bottles have a lid very similar to this. larger than the normal bottles both in Tesco's and Morrisons but at £2 a bottle.
