Members of this list (Mike?) were challenged to produce a model of a local mail box - after all, they are different from country to country, and a collection of a dozen or so different mail boxes seemed perfectly achievable. The lead time on the challenge was long enough that even I was able to pull a model together. But I seem to recall that in the end there were only two models made - mine and a US post pox. The pix Mike posted were of a second model I made for MicroCon IV as my contribution. Mike and I did a phone hookup for half an hour or so and chatted to local members, and Mike also set up a web cam so we could see what was happening. Video conference it wasn't, but it did help given a sense of 'being there'.
But back to the post box. If you'd like a copy, Noel, you're welcome to it. Let me know and I'll send you one. No instructions, but you should be able to work it out. It has an operating tilt mechanism for posting letters and prototypical 'grass' growing out of the concrete. I think in the one I sent to Mike I included a letter to him - in an envelope he could open - and a letter addressed to me with a 'bill past due -pay now' stamp on it. One day I'll rework the design to eliminate some of the rather heavy fold lines, and I'll write up some instructions.
