Okay slicks, we know you won't believe your eyes, WELCOME TO ATOMHENGE, the temple for all HAWKLORDS. Watch it short-circuit the music world. Larry Smart of Exploding Galaxy fame designed it. His career includes special Beatle posters for their Apple shop, a mural for George Harrison. He's a full time painter, and during OCT, his work can be seen at the Scene Gallery, Baker Street, London. CJ Frame Up constructed the sets using a glass fibre process: a full scale model of each constituent part is first constructed, in this case, from wood and sheet aluminium. A mold of glass fibre is then taken from this. Glass fibre matting is 'laid up' with resin and the addition of a catalyst actuates a chemical change which causes the combined glass and resin to harden. ln these moulds the final shapes are laid up and removed when hard. All the edges are then cut, the surfaces sanded down, and plywood backing is fastened in, before assemby with metal fastenings. Then electricaI wizard Jonathon Smeeton takes over and with a little help from his friends, installs the lighting that gives LIGHT TO ATOMHENGE. Enjoy the show. And remember, in the words of the immortal bard, Leo Wyoming, "It's a heroic world. But only in pockets. So be careful what pockets you fall into."
