Army Gurkha chefs are celebrating after winning an award for making sculptures out of lard.
Chefs from the Queens Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment won catering awards for sculptures including a dragon and a Buddha statue.
Lance Corporal Amrit Limbu, 27, used three 11lbs blocks of lard to create the Buddha statue, working for up to 12 hours a day for eight days, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Lc Cpl Limbu, whose regiment is based in Aldershot, Hants, said: "It took a really long time to do the preparation. However, as it finally started to take shape and come to life, it started to get really exciting.
"It took a long time overall, but I was very pleased with what I produced, and delighted with my award."
The Queen's Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment (QOGLR) won a total of three awards at the Combined Services Catering Competition.
The regiment's commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Duncan, said: "It never ceases to amaze me how the Gurkha chefs manage to produce something so spectacular out of a block of fat."
