Thank you, your praise is generous.
Here is the full build thread for my Teardrop.
I am a bit of a serial "fiddler" I like to make stuff, and like the teardrop, I do best when making it up as I go along.

The sides were meant to be Ally clad as well, like the rest of the camper, but by the 7th coat of varnish we realized the wood had to stay, and I am really pleased we did, it forms a neat contrast.
The Portholes are wooden wall clock face surrounds, bought for £1 or $1.50 each at a new cheap store opening, I bought four of them, and sandwiched the walls and also the "glass" which is policarbonate cut from discarded caravan windows
I tried to add a quirky feel to it, as it is a quirky thing in itself.
