I'd post a picture of me nob but for 3 reasons:
1.been used twice
2. Not tidy
3. Lack of a panoramic lens.

Did you ever get caught out by the scale of the pictures on a shopping website. I remember getting my first STC1000 and being surprised by how tiny it was. Anyway, it's happened to me again. I ordered a pipe cutter recently. It came yesterday. It's fucking huge!

The one on the bottom is what I was expecting.

The spire? I suppose no one would miss a few meters off the top of it? It'd make a cool conical FV.
