Thanks Wotto, that's a very nice and generous offer on the acorns.

I have the images from the drops and the spinner - I grabbed these from the web from a US based supplier with hi postage costs!  Happy to give a copy to anyone who wants them. I don't have the round blue and white targets, so if you have that handy I'd appreciate it. I'll pm you my email address.

I'm planning to get some adhesive glossy photo paper from office works and then put some mylar over the top. Does anybody know where you can buy mylar in sheet form locally. I know PBR have it (if you can sort the payment method out), I also see RTBB sell an assortment of pieces, but I think I'm going to want to do some custom and larger shapes.

On other progress, I've kept up the cleaning efforts. It's not producing the gleaming results I'd hoped for, but maybe I was hoping for too much? The best way I've found was a light mist of Nifti in a small area, spread in with a finger and then use ME, then a light mist of isopropyl with ME and finally a good dry with a soft cotton rag.  I'll try a little eucalyptus oil today. My feeling is I'm better with a little dirt and grubbiness rather than bare wood due to my heavy handedness.

I've flattened a few inserts following Clay's methods with 240 then 400 grade wet and dry. They went from being very visibly bowed to dead flat. Have some super glue gel to put them back in, just have to be careful as they are now a little thinner and could fall below the PF level.

I've been madly collecting paint sample cards, but it appears that few people paint their houses Gorgar red so it's either take the PF down to a colour matching machine or try my hand at colour matching. I had a look in an art shop and see that there is a small range of base colours available at about $3 per tube. So I might try this first. 

I'll get some more pics up as progress is made.
