Hey Harvey it's still sitting like that at the moment. I've got a thread about it somewhere. It's an Aussie import :) Still got a looooong way to go to get it up and running

me too! I went on this slightly crazed mission to Melbourne a couple of years ago after I'd arranged to purchased this cabinet. Me and the owner of the cab drank a little too much blue milk then proceed to knock 7 bells out of the cab and we flat packed it and I shipped it over here. It was fun but I hope I don't do something like that again :)

Love that millennium falcon build I think I would go blind trying to tackle something like that

Like all great collections, there is always a rad story behind it!

I'm going to be in the Auckland Santa Paraade next weekend as a Certain Ice Queen (apparently on top of an appropriately themed float for a charity group which is awesome! But it means I have been basically printing, taping, spray gluing, fusing, and cutting snowflakes for days.

See how that is made up of incredibly thin fillaments and then a fairly thick but soft fluffy/fuzzy thread? Yeah. They don't cut the same way and the fuzzy ones need super sharp blades. Hooray for being able to cut with a craft knife/box cutter as I did have to snap my way through about three blades!

about 68 flakes bewteen 4-24" acress as well as the flurry which is about 150cm by 300cm as it's a half circle

Tomorrow I'm also doing a talk at Henderson Library on sci-fi costumes so will be bringing my Ashara Zavros headdress and possibly Darth Talon lekku as well as Shae armour :) Hopefully will be able to bring people over to the idea of Making rather than making.
