RE - I have had a little tinker and this is about my limit LOL!

SERIOUSLY MARTIN! I need 2 pairs of glasses just to see what it is😁, I know how you do it, you've got a 500:1 scale rule haven't you???😉 I suppose you'll be making one out of thin air next time that we can't even see😂

Hi Martin,

I must admit!
I thought it wasn't possible!
But, you proved me wrong!

But, a grain of sand.
Now that would be extremely impressive!

although, I'm still trying to figure out how you do it!

Cheers, Ed

PS.

I don't think it's a shrink ray?
Or is it?

Beginning to think you either have an expanding ruler Martin or you have some sort of magical shrinking device - if it's that ---- do you shrink yourself or the boat ?

Well done shipmate, could you have used the rice grains as outriggers, like a trimaran.

Is 'long grain' rice allowed Ed? 😁
Not so much a 'build' as a 'carve up'😂

I remember in the early 90s running across a guy in the flea market in Ipanema (really great Sunday market😊) who could write your name on a grain of rice and then put it in a tiny bottle on a necklace!
Doug was relatively easy, but Jessica, for my daughter, took a few attempts.
But he managed it eventually!😮

I remember in my dim and distant youth, something running in the Daily Mirror where people were carving figures from the last quarter inch of a match.
