I think they are very neat, Damo.  They look extremely heavy.  I hope no Klicky toes were crushed beneath their weight!  :o

Oh WOW I didn't realize how huge that road sign trailer is ... maybe it isn't overpriced like I thought... dang... now I'm probably going to buy that too...  ;D  Great setup, safety is very important when venturing outdoors.  ;)

Very nice Damo!
Could that technique be used to make statues out of clickies? Can you explain how you made these, please?
Best,

ooh, I forgot to say how I made them :-[

Well first I removed the stickers, and gave them a rub down to give the paint a key.

I then used a stone effect textured spray paint on them, of about 6 coats. (only because I kept missing spots! :-[)

At this point, the hooks were masked, so after the stone was dry, I used some chrome (I wanted a more sliver/grey really) coloured hobby enamel paint applied by brush.


I think emmaj made a statue from this type of textured spray paint, and bonniebeth and Clong have both used a bronze paint to make statues as well.
