No worries BNS i was only kidding! Jack sparrow, thats amazing, you will have to give me a photoshop lesson, i managed to select the topper perfectly but it wouldn't let me mover it over the other images so i gave up and used a combination of photoshop and paint!

 Sorry Tom, never meant to be nasty... I was only making a comment that your Photoshop creation wasn't as stunning as your usual images

Besides, being 18 isn't an excuse - you've got talent and you're stuck with it  Good you've discovered it so early.

Sorry again

It is a stupid idea.

So get on and do it so everyone who watches can have a good laugh.

(adding weights & "Heftiness" may not be the best plan to acieve lift off though...)

Tom, I think it's fantastic - exactly what I was thinking!!  I'm actually quite serious - it'd be extremely experimental!! If I could get some built in weights or something to add a bit more "heftiness" and then made a bowsprit that sort of moulded into the body of the topper so it wouldn't just snap off!! If I made the mast maybe shorter then it wouldn't get very overpowered - and I could custom make the sails!!

Sorry....I didn't take a breath then cos it was all off the top of my head!!

Has anybody ever tried anything like this??! (I really think this would be so fun, honest)!

Tom Gruitt, famous sailing photographer=tgruitt the jumping tiger

It's a Jekyll and Hyde case. One    with his photos, the other one  with photo-editing

(no worries, Tom, it's a funny idea anyway!)
