As for rules, we have really struggled finding suitable rulesets - and have reverted to producing our own! Stay tuned for more on that front shortly.Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279786472578722137.post-7085678436452253312016-04-18T04:37:04.229+01:002016-04-18T04:37:04.229+01:00I'm late to the party as always, but I am very...I'm late to the party as always, but I am very much looking forward to more posts on your experiences as I am considering the 30YW as well - just not in 2mm (my lovely wife and CFO would be aghast at the thought).<br /><br />Any thoughts on rules?<br /><br />GregEl Gregohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15255734917358886698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279786472578722137.post-33786319518792228282016-03-27T22:39:14.400+01:002016-03-27T22:39:14.400+01:00Thanks Tamsin!

Particularly like your approach of wanting to recreate the look of the contemporary art, and I think that's the beauty of the scale, you can really do that relatively easily with the minimum of space. So although you might lose some of the "eye candy" of 28mm, the overall big picture effect on the table is equally impressive. Many thanks for the shout out too, very kind of you (there's a couple more projects in the pipeline as we speak).
