I've got mag with red circles. Will take a pic quick.. EDIT : Done, ignore the mess, busy redecorating the whole house and attempting to loose almost 1km of cabling.

JustGav Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 thats the sort of thing i had in mind .better now to see something like i had in my head All we did was use a pencil and a bit of string, draw random outlines all over, overlapping that sort of thing. The main wall was red with magnolia circles and the rest are mag with red circles. Use plates anything that is circular really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Nice Space Shuttle Gav Just next to it, is the Haynes manual for Apollo 11 http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_13?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=haynes+apollo+11+manual&x=0&y=0&sprefix=haynes+apollo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Technically, I'd be a dangerous man to be in posession of something as simple as a Haynes Manual for an Allegro, but that is pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I will add if you live in a typical brit house with plasterboard walls be prepared to turn them into swiss cheese hiding cabling. I used a circle saw on a drill and to put holes near all the stud work to ease the cabling through. The reason I use that is they cleanly remove a core which you can then put back in and fill. ALWAYS over estimate with the wiring and never underestimate how big the bundle will end up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
