Fantastic site if anybody likes looking at nice things and dreaming.

Cryf oedd calon hen y glas glogwyni,
Cryfach oedd ei ebill ef a'i ddur,
Chwyddodd gyfoeth gwr yr aur a'r faenol,
O'i enillion prin a'i amal gur.

Some lovely stuff in these links Moley. Personally I've always been a fan of ray skin wrap on the saya - looks great to my eyes. Some nice examples here:

Sorry about the corruption of this thread Guy's, I believe there is a word for people who trash people's threads and go off on a tangent about triviala.

I have used the powers bestowed upon me by Huw to move Mole bach and Azzy's drooling over to where it belongs on the Chat/trivia page titled "Mole bach and Azzy's "BLONDE" thread.
We can now concentrate on real Eye candy on this thread:

So back to the Ford Hallan stuff:

This is absolutely AMAZING !
watch both films right to the end to appreciate how talented this man really is.

I was very lucky to pick up the Sadatoshi fittings made by Ford before he really became famous.
I don't think I could afford any of his stuff now.
Anyway, watch these and ENJOY !
