Welcome aboard, Colin! Whats this nonsense I hear that your lights must be licensed and approved? And here I thought a neighbourhood association (aka Yard Nazis) was bad! On a different tack, ever thought about doing a wireframe Tardis or Dalek for Halloween? Have plans for either if you're up to it. Did it ONE year here, but too many people were scratching their heads "whuizzat"? Used blue curtain lights for the box and made for a very convincing demat/remat. Yup. See the gears turning in your head already!  ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">
