My Amp has finally arrived..., by Imoy-San on Oct 10, 2007 17:29:58 GMT 1, It has arrived!
First an enormous "Thank You" to Misterframeman (Gary) for doing such an awesome job. Perspex is the way to go...
Made on a thick slab of metal, the piece is held in place with little battens, against a black background. It's coated against rust, and TLSG delivered it for free - Thank you!
As for size... 119cm x 118cm x 20cm. Yes, it is a big one! But one hell of a piece. I love it!
It will be going on a wall.

My Amp has finally arrived..., by curiousgeorge on Oct 10, 2007 17:44:31 GMT 1, Wow i love it, i want it!
How heavy is it? Is it a one man job, or two man erm lifting it  That really is huge the POW Micallef is going to be not far off, if put in large swept frame.
That is really cool, do tell us what the other half says about it

I saw you chatting with CBL about this piece when you bought it at Found. +1 mate cos this Amp was top three in the whole show for me. You were a bit worried about what the good lady might think all that time ago.
I trust you've put in enough groundwork to enable her to welcome this beauty into your living room with open arms.  Good luck fella!! ;D
Great job too by Gary mrframeman; I'll bet he was cursing Amp for putting that cheeky bend in the bottom left. Quality all round.

My Amp has finally arrived..., by Imoy-San on Oct 10, 2007 18:24:50 GMT 1, I don't know how to start with the weighing thing. It is massive, I'll be placing it on a radiator cover and held up by some decent hooks.
I was a bit surprised that no one seemed interested in it at the show. I guess people were totally bowled by Beejoir, DFace, et al.
I'll keep you posted on the reaction when she gets in from work. It isn't the sort of thing you can hide... It really is breathtakingly good.

Hope you've got strong walls and that your DIY skills are better than mine.

I have a lost piece coming on Saturday that I am getting v excited about. It's similarly big so I am wondering how to make sure it stays on the wall (and as my house is made out of papermache) not take the wall down with it!

Perhaps you weren't thinking clearly at 2:00am, it was Found not Lost ;D
What have you got arriving?

Your AMP is stunning Yomster. My canvas of Kwan has been in situ for a little while now as well and is honestly one of the best pieces I own. Every time I walk past it I can't help having another long look at it.

I'd hate to see it go brown! If it does, the next stop is whether TLSG takes responsibility for not coating it with enough goo! Anyhow, I'll be moving to New Mexico soon
