I've finally put page up for the HMLS Snottler, with a bit of history and
construction detail.

The thing I really liked that isn't captured so well by the WWW page is the
highly modular nature of the Snottler 3.0. Seeing it broken into chunks is
quite interesting.

The HMLS Snottler made what turned out to be its penultimate outing on
Sunday, to STUDFest XVI, and I took the opportunity to get a photo of it
broken up into its transport modules.

The ultimate voyage was yesterday, after which it was taken to the
scrapyard. The demolition crew wasted no time in reducing it to its
component parts... and the piece counting has begun.

The statistics will be updated to
http://www.lugnet.com/loc/au/~1285/Snottler in due course.

Cheers
