Seemed appropriate to carry on the convo on the new list... I have one word for you: plastic cutlery. Ok, two words. Forks have spikey bits, are available in clear and opaque, colored and unpigmented, and, if you go to enough fast food joints, totally free. ;->= The_Beast ---------------------- Forwarded by Doug Evans/CSN/UNEBR on 11/23/98 01:21 PM --------------------------- Rob Paul <rpaul@worf.molbiol.ox.ac.uk> on 11/23/98 01:01:45 PM Please respond to FTGZG-L@bolton.ac.uk To: FTGZG-L@bolton.ac.uk cc: (bcc: Doug Evans/CSN/UNEBR) Subject: Scratch-building Re: More Spiney Bits > At 14:05 20/11/98 -0800, you wrote: Little plastic birthday candle holders are another easily available item for scratch-building\modifying.

Totally kewl stuff. I picked up a bunch of 'miniature' ornaments at an after Xmas sale. Inch long icicles, and pointed at one end/spherical in the center, just like 50's sci fi cover art, 'glass' ornaments. Before I had seen MT, I was going to do a scenerio of bio ships (icicles), but they rammed the human ships, then gestated, until the ship exploded into more bio ships. Wish I'd had followed it out...
