Will be speaking to someone very soon to get a model put up that we can all try to make.
I think it would be nice for it to be up for a while so that we can attempt to make it & post our efforts.
Then after a few days the instructions go up. It can be very surprising when you try to make something
without the instructions that halfway through it looke like something ecompletely different & then off you go at a tangent.
Your thoughts on this are welcome, as they are on any other of the topic on the forum.
I'd very much like this to be a user's forum, so all your suggestions are welcome as they may spark someone else into coming up with an idea.

I thought we might start with a sculpture from one of David Grist's DVd;s.
So will make up the sheep & post asap, just back from the juggling convention in Doncaster.
Hope a few will attempt to make the model first with no instructions & then I'll put the instructioons up in a weeks time.

Right, just off to make up the sheep.
Hope to post it tonight.
Here is a picture of David & I enjoying ourselves at TMJ.
Not sure what year, but by the amount of refreshment you can see we usually had a good time.
Great memories that will last forever.

Here are three different views of the sheep, would be nice for a few to have a go at making the sheep & posting your efforts.
Will post a step by step in a few days.

Did you just make that from the pictures I posted?
It looks really good in pink, amazing how things can look totally different with a change of colour.
Proffesor that is a great effort as well.
I was thinking about waiting till the middle of the month to post instructions,
but if everyone has attempted it by then I will post them sooner
