The Wall of Dazzling Remarkability

[hellkat]

(Ignore Barry, he's just being a dick in this photo, he's a very nice chap, really, a most admirable son-in-law-to-be)


The wall behind has been Andy's project this week.

We found a bunch of folders with all these little aluminium squares, some sort of sample folders, in a skip down the road.

So (of course) the best thing to do with them was NOT leave them in the skip. It was to lug them all home, and take the little squares off and stick them randomly on the wall.

There's some left over, so they are doing the top of a chest of drawers as well.

Hehe... don't want to buy a vintage 1989 Mk1 Vauxhall Nova 993cc do you? The chassis is mint, and the bodywork is rust free except on the rear left panel where there is a dent. Its even rust free around the battery and bulkhead! The only problem is it needs a new engine, but the gearbox is fine...

How come I never find cool stuff like that in skips?

Any of them going to find their way onto your bike?

*bites lip*

Hmmm, good point.

There was talk of variously using the bigger bits of diamondplate (of which we also found about six pieces with the folders).

Current thinking is for the kitchen unit doorfronts.

But I might suggest their use on the Super Tenere instead.

It also occurrs to me that they'd look pretty cool on a leather jacket too, a kind of 'armoured' look.

I love fine-sample packs, they're almost a work of art in their own right. Exquisite little aluminium panels coated with exotic materials/patterns, sweeet!

all you need is a few light sources, a disco ball and some LSD, for a wicked time

[hellkat]

Ya, I have already been looking at disco mirror balls on eBay, LOL

I hope that swatch book stuff wasn't used at the local Atomic facility

So far as I can see, there are no atomic facilities in Shepherds Bush.
