Massive slide injection possibly either that or it’s a really big boiled sweet masquerading as a sweet dispenser stand!

Any fibre glass prepper worth his salt would hide any joints with an appropriate filler and sanded flush and the paint job top notch

Looking at the first photo the corners look a little rough and flat in parts hense where the flash has been rubbed down but a little to enthusiastic when doing it.
