It's been a long time but slowly the bits are coming together. I often wonder if a thread has come to a full stop - particularly this one, but this proves that everything is still in our minds - and someone somewhere is working on it.

What a fantastic thread! I've just now found it, and spent much more time than I should have reading it :D Thanks to George and Denn for pointing to it from the Photo board.

Are there any new developments?

And, does anybody see a resemblance here?

Cheers,
