Something fishy going on...

Spent the afternoon trying to replicate lobster pots in 1/76th scale - 4mm = 1 foot.  (as you do).  What a pain in the arms.  This is my latest attempt and it has merit to be developed further.  It's about 9mm long and 5mm high so it's quite fiddly.  I've tried net curtain as Oilyrag suggested (good idea) but it was too flimsy so I've gone back to the speaker mesh, the finest gauge I could find.  I'll not give up just yet but right now it's time to fire up the BBQ.  Yes; it's windy and raining but that's the time to do it isn't it?
