Yum, celluloid - warm, silky with a satin-like sheen. Acrylic - cold, glassy, with a glossy shine.

No, Bill forgot to mention the smell biggrin.gif .

Acrylic, if it has a smell, does so like glue -> glue-sniffer biggrin.gif . Celluloid has, IMO, a pleasant, old-fashioned, camphory smell. biggrin.gif

Also, celluloid doesn't break very easily at all, it is very flexible, whereas acrylic materials aren't biggrin.gif .

Warm regards, Wim
