@TooshTsk. Bringing it down to your level again. I dunno...
@Vermis50mm base? Pah! NO chance! The old rock would squeeze onto a 75 by 80mm base. the (bottom of the) current one can technically fit onto the top of a Halford's spray can lid but I don't fancy the chances of anyone trying to balance it on a small base like that. (can't tell until the whole thing is finished and in one piece what the balance will be like, but I'm trying to centralise it as much as possible wihtout sacrificing aesthetics.)
I already have a lot of ideas for how to do this different in terms of spines, riders, new necks etc; having to force myself to remain on track with the current set-up...!
