Me gusta mucho. :-* I'm quite impressed - but didn't expect anything less from the genius that built this awesome Infinity table.

I agree with all the others. Another excellent Matakishi construction project. Looks like it will be another classic BLAM, judging by all the construction projects we've seen recently. You lucky, lucky B******s  :(

They should work very well in Darkest Africa too! Probably not too historically accurate for proper African buildings, but more than good enough for me  :D

It's all coming together, maybe even in time for BLAM :)

@Hammers the dome is a resin one originally supplied by Ian Weekly to help scratchbuilders. They're still available but I can't remember where from (I saw them at Colours recently) I bought three domes when I made my Mosque a couple of years ago, now I'm using up the other two (compound three also has a dome).

@Doc I didn't make the Infinity table, a French bloke called Ive did, I just host the article.

Bizarre!

I would have sworn they could never looks this nice without some texture besides the cork.


But they do!

I'm in awe.
