As you read, I did think about the nature of the fracture, and tried to
reflect how I expected it to break. When I re-visit this scene after my Anim
entry is sorted, I will attempt to improve this aspect.

Cheers for providing me a link to check out, it's a shame the sample picture
doesn't show a larger area of fracture. I think I'll spend some time out in
the street with a bag of marbles and a hammer before re-tying the surface.

Thanks for your suggestions.
