    Hi there, all.

    I've got a plan in mind, involving arabesque style aluminium corner brackets and acrylic, but have come up against a roadblock..

    As this is a build for my Fiancee, the color is kind of crucial - if it's pink she'll let me spend the money on it.

    If I can do that then a full-blown project will ensue - I'm after a Turkish Delight on a hot Moroccan evening feel to it (aircooled with large/slow fans, subtle rose/pink indirect lighting), and I'm aiming for a 11.11.11 deadline

    I need a small Panel of 3/5mm Rose/Pink transparent Acrylic (500mmx500mm), but can only seem to find suppliers selling full 2mx1.5m sheets - does anyone know of a UK supplier that sells part sheets of something similar to Perspex Vario Honolulu Pink 4T87?

    Hindleys have vario honolulu pink sized at 1000mm x 600mm x 5mm, bigger than you want but you could see if they can do a custom size. Although at £23 i think id just take the sheet.

    Ive used them loads and they're really good, never had any issues with them.

    Thank you. £23 quid is much better than £230+

    Damn. That means I'm going to have to wrestle with sketchup for a week or two.

    Inspiration for the shape has struck in the form of the Masdar institute. I've no idea where it is, but I love the curves, and feel that the overall structure lends itself to ventilation combined with decoration.
