          Hi Rob, and welcome mate, a very interesting dio there.

          Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                  Greetings Rob! It's been a while since I dwelt in the marble halls of Pompey, Gosport, Havant and associated areas - but I still hold some fond memories of pubs, clubs and (the occasional) cafes! Interesting debut!

                        That’s from the later Brock on his own years Grrrr! Classic Hawkwind is from the Levitation album backwards …… Space ritual it ain’t! Bit of a Hawkwind nut myself to be honest.

                              Hi Rob, very imaginative build and looking good.
                              For your question on clear acetate, I'm on the other side of the world so acquiring that item may be different from where you're from. There's a license plate shop that has discarded sheets that I can get some. Art shops are another...old CD cases are another source and if you're into scrounging vacuum packing on products can be a source too but attaching them will need othe types of glues.

                              Cheers,
                              Richard
