Hi. Paul,
Email recieved, your email address was not included so could not reply in like mode sorry.
The situation at present is:- Steve Davies at Vortex Vac Forms is going to send me some .75mm thick clear sheet to
play with , if this does not work out I would like to take you up on your kind offer , though I was hoping to get the
model finished before our Wigan seminar.
Best Wishes for Christmas and the New Year, and also to all other LMA. members,
Dave.
