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!

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

Rob

Not a haunt of mine, but I knew an artist who moved up there to live. He now sells paintings of the period on Facebook. What with that, and the annual Stonehenge festival, there was quite a lot of counterculture around the area. It was always a pretty good place for musicians as well. Funnily enough, where I live now is about twenty minutes from worthy farm, the site of the Glastonbury festival.
