              Nice progress Chris........a Fabric shop is a good source for mesh material........they use it for bridal veils all the time. I bought some a while back (its very cheap) to use as camo netting in 1-87 scale. Rick H.

                          Another great update Chris, that radar is something else. Well done.
                          Has Jen realised you've nicked a stocking yet ! It will be worse than any jab when she finds out !!

                            That's why I suggested the Fabric Shop..........if she didn't approve your knicking her stocking, you might not be around to see this project completed......Hell hath no fury......etc. :tongue-out3: :tongue-out2::tongue-out: Rick H.
