Did this MOC as a break yesterday from working on another kiwi artwork recreation, while I wait for some BL orders to arrive. Thought it would be a quick simple build, but it was not. First version had the tiles on different layers. Then I rebuilt the structure to allow for the under-layer. Then I noticed my reference pic was just a portion of the full design. Then after I rebuilt it at full size, I realised Walters didn't adhere to a nice vertical grid. So I moved 2 rows to a 1/2 stud offset. That required rebuilding the whole support, and re-thinking the frame to hide the offset gap. Pretty much an all-day build.
