Fundraising tool almost ready

Over the holiday period (and to make myself feel less guilty about the lack of physical exercise) I've been constructing a papier-mâché Pen-y-Ghent which will sit on my desk at work collecting small change from now(ish) until the big day.

The shape and profile of the finished article will not stand up to a detailed scrutiny against the real thing (I know this because I've deviated from the OS version of things!) but if it raises £50 it will have done its job. Before my (artistic) brother adds the final (and perhaps most crucial finishing touch - the paint) here's a picture to whet the appetite :-)

Mate, it looks every bit as good as I imagined! Did you use the chickenwire method? How did you get the slot in the top?

After visiting Focus and finding their chicken wire to be standing 5 feet high and costing £20 I decided not to bother and went for baco foil on a cardboard shell. It only has 4 layers on top so cutting the slot was easy. I even remembered to put a hole in the bottom!
