    Hullo folks, this work was done for charity, this project took me 6-8 weeks on and of , it was constructed from two 12mm sheets of ply, cut out with a jigsaw, painted and hinged, it was probably the most intense job i have ever done in all of my25 years in the trade, i raised £1200.00 which was donated to a 10 year old boy, who suffered from muscular dystrophy, he went on a special holiday with his family, sadly he is no longer with us, but i have great memories from this job thanks JOHN JBS, 🙁 🙁 PS this is me in the photo, was a lot thinner then!

    Very nice – really interesting too!
    It would be one of those that I just had to go up and touch.
