Easyjet Hand Baggage Question

Hi all,

I have travelled to the UK for a weekend, and am heading back to NL tomorrow. While here, I have acquired a beautiful, handcrafted model which I need to take back with me. It's packed in a cardboard box, about 18" x 18" x 8", and while fairly well padded, I'd rather not check it in. I also have a small hand luggage bag, which contains a laptop, camera, electric razer etc, so there's no way I can check that in and carry the model as my single item of cabin baggage.

Any chance I could appeal to their kindness and take it with me in the cabin? Or is it possible to have it treated specially as a fragile item if checked in - I've seen on many occasions the way that baggage handlers treat the hold bags, and this will in no way be able to withstand being thrown onto a trailer and having suitcases piled atop it.

Thanks for any advice...
