Umm....I feel like a bit of a twit asking this again, but..... The computer system here recently had a hissy-fit and wiped all my saved mail. So could whoever it was who gave that REALLY cool idea of how to make Sa'Vasku ships from sea pods and seaweed please send a post to the list or to me again with the instructions please! Thanks!

** Recipe for Seaweed Sa'vasku **
The main ingredient is dried seaweed of a kind commonely found washed up on
Australian beaches. It is the kind with the tappered ellipsoidal floatation
pods, ranging up to 1" in length. Gather as much sun dried weed as possible.
Take a handfull of pods of various sizes, and bit of dried weed and toss them
into a small plastic oven bag, and pour in some PVA wood glue. The whole mass
sticks together and can be roughly shaped as desired. Hang the bags somewhere
with the tops open, each day peel away a bit of plastic to expose more of the
mass to the air, it will take about a week to dry. Some plastic may stick to
the mass, never mind, this just enhances the appearance. Once the mass has
dried, mount it on a base as normal. There may be indentations between the
pods, these can be filled with PVA or left, as desired. Once everything is
dry, go wild with the paints! I've painted mine all kinds of colours, and ink
washses flow into all the gaps and really engance the look. Once this is done,
paint them high gloss, the resulting models look really organic! I've made
half a dozen, ranging from littluns about 2" long to bigguns about 4" long.
I've also used individual pods as small ships or fighters. The final result is
very effective, and costs virtually nothing!
Cheers Geoffrey
