      All I can say is that it all sounds pretty unlucky to me (and ever so slightly sinister).

       

      Take care.

      I cannot confirm or deny I might or might not have made, am making or will make an enquiry, but, should you wish to be the proud owner of a genuine, non-burnt, 7mm scale static caravan, as not seen on any other layout, photo plank or shelf, please, caller, make an enquiry.

      Never had flares, never been fashion concious. I am at the Penryn campus, and about 35 years older that most of the students. I'm hoping to pick it up quite quick - it's a 7 week course with an exam in the last week. And no, I had no idea I could use it for modelling purposes or it could save in a file format suitable for a Portrait cutter...

      All good, go back in 9 months. The aquarium is on the TV, and the only mags are Cornwall Life or The People's Friend.

      Interesting collection of bits! Already racking my single brain cell to work out an engineering combination for production of said esoteric brickwork!

      Brunel had an easier task...just gave the local brickworks a sketch and an order for a couple of hundred bricks.

      The thread started in January has suddenl taken off, sprouting about 3 pages of entries in the last 48 hours. I bet the apparent interest will not be matched by entries. Cynic.. Moi?
