Be careful Dierk, they might put a quarantine zone around your house if word gets out about your homicidal tendencies. Shamrock is looking good. I would love for them to put an exclusion zone around our house! We just had three weeks of somebody having their garden 'upgraded' using some pretty heavy machinery...because it's a residential area with limited parking, they put their van with double-axle trailer right under our bedroom window, and then started shovelling grit into a wheel barrow from just after 7am (I put a stop to that after a few days by parking my car in the bay, instead of on our drive, so they couldn't get their van in there anymore) After that you got hours of large stones being cut. When they finally went home around 5pm, our neighbour from across the road comes back from work and starts with his circular saw/hammer drill/angle grinder/you name it, so long as it's noisy, until about 8pm - not in the cellar, where he'd have to clean up afterwards, no, out on the pavement... There are days when I could quite happily go postal...

With me as director/lead actor it would be a snuff movie 'From Dawn Till Dusk'

Dierk - very interesting model! It seems to me that paint can be added to the metal. (pigment gun-metal)
