Many thanks. When you referred to " a mine of information" and " keep digging" I thought that you might be refering to Chile!
I have still not been able to master the art of producing a silhouette,so;
"Open House".

Thanks Bri! Glad I paid attention to WC! ![Smilie](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I shall always remain indebted to one11 (Doug) for a rather clever and simple method of making a silhouette. Simply print off a picture, preferably rare and obscure, like a Mexican Mariscraft MA260 Minero, and then with a big felt-tip pen colour it in, preferably black, scan it and then upload to PPRuNe.
I tried it with line drawings but kept going over the line, so I generally just make them "negative". The great thing with the technique above is there is generally a lot more 'forgiveness' if the pen should stray.
Using Doug's technique...
