I'll have 2 please. One for the car, one to hang on the wall

Edit: John - you've become a guru! Must have been the electric window motor thread that did it.

Default un-freakin'-believable!

That is absolutely gorgeous. I would definately have to hang it on the wall over putting it on the car.

Robert, how much does the pictured assemblage weight?

Regards,
Jeff

Default Must be American English....

From Dictionary.com

as·sem·blage n.

1.
a. The act of assembling.
b. The state of being assembled.
2. A collection of people or things; a gathering.
3. A collection of items from a single datable component of an archaeological site.
4. A fitting together of parts, as those in a machine.
5. A sculptural composition consisting of an arrangement of miscellaneous objects or found materials.

as·semblag·ist n.

I like #5 for Robert's work.

Depending upon the component, weight saving generally is between 50% and 70%.
