Christmas @ the Myrtle (Michael) said:
Looks great. I'm still on the look out for more of those spiral tree frames.

I bought 16 from my local Bunnings outlet and they had new stock in (about 20 more) within a week, seems to be no shortage of supply. Maybe you need to ask a Bunnnings to order them in if they are not stocked items?

I have just run my first test of my star topper for the mega tree.

View: https://youtu.be/81S04czsw6s


The video does not show the colours well, they are super intense, the poor video camera just can't handle it... sorry, I will have to try again to get a better video.

I am very happy with the result, 725 pixels and is 1.65mtr across.

My megatree base is going great 1200 pixels 3mtr high....

Tree looks fantastic. And looking at your list - very impressive for a first year in pixels.
