Just arrived in the post...in a black jiffy bag.
Box has paper seals and I don't want to break them! It's about 3"x3"..

Just checked email. Haven't ordered a baby robin.

Feels empty. Light, doesn't rattle.

On the address label, my name has (BM) after it.. urgh.

A complicated internet guessing game apparently.

BM = Brass Mantis

Kickstarter was for metal sculptures. Come as a flat sheet and you make them yourself. Animals and insects.

(They raised £50000 with a target of 15000. So not just me 🙂 )

You don't really follow DezB that closely do you? Complicated? not likely! 😆

You're all wrong.

Clearly it's a hexaflexagon kit.

What was their inspiration? Did it come after cleaning too many car windscreens?

@DezB if @Sandwicheater is reading/researching all your posting history, you ought to be a bit worried about his stalkery! 😆

From a fascination with paper folding (prize to binners: [i]An 'Origami for Beginners' kit?[/i] ) and metal etching, apparently.

I recently bought a flat pressed model of Battersea Power Station for the GF (I know , so romantic, although I have you to thank @DezB as I seem to recall you started the Online Dating Updates around this time last year and today is our 1yr anniversary WOOPWOOP!) The powerstation theme is cause we seem to end up touring them when we go on bike rides... I'm planning to take her up the Hydro one soon, Phnarr Phnarr![img] [/img]

Mate off mine opened a bonsai business.

It was a great success. He's had to move to smaller premises.

I thought it was a poo in a box from Sharon Osbourne.
I'm a little disappointed now. 😀

That reminds me, the World Origami Championships were on TV the other night. I couldn't watch it though, it was only on pa-per view.

Was that the one when, looking at what his opponent had produced, a contestant didn't think he could beat it so he folded?

Judging from the (very small) pic the Mantis and Dragon fly are the pic of the bunch for me.
