No I didn't Daz, I found that image on Google, apparently it is the blue-print for the box done by the original artist. Pretty neat eh?

Well Iain, some sources say the set came with this card...(also see the breakdown picture)

....so that's the card I have put with my set. The netting is a kind of tough nylon.

Didn't we just Steve!
A seller across the pond makes these boxes up and promised Steve he'd do a couple for $30 each.....it never happened, even after several attempts to convince him.
