Haha, nice.
Got a couple of books here of similar stuff, steam engines and cars and stuff.
A mate of mine sent me a link to a working fold-up paper 35mm SLR camera with pinhole lens. Since lost the link tho

Matt, I don't think I am going to have much room for it with the new dew sheild (Flocked tube extension).... I might have to build a bigger observatory...say...10 metre dome?

I can't wait to cut the triangles for THAT!

Baz.
