Germy;
Thanks for the wire fence idea...I have been trying to find something to make the same type of fence...great little tutorial. I'll have to go get some and do this myself. Great website full of very effective ideas. Thanks for sharing.

Hope they are useful, I actually find it useful myself to document what I have done in case I want to return to the idea,

This is great, I really like the saucer and the removable crash debris - superb idea.  8)

If you and Matakishi ever decide to collaborate on a project, Poundland could become bigger than Tesco!

What happened with Matakishi, it's been ages since we heard from him?

I definitely saw him at SALUTE, but only from a distance as I was working on a trade stand.
