Update: I decided to apply a tint to the cube (like what you get on sunglasses). I was going to go for blue or green, but decided on a light grey colour... makes it look more serious

Argh,.. attachements messed up.. prolly me and the chemicals lol... hang on

Incidentally, the dimensions I used are as follows (I got them off a chap on this site, so thank you v much! they worked perfectly).

Bore= 85% of cube 1 size.
Depth= 15% of cube 1 size.
Cube 2 = Cube 1-(Depth x 2).

Cool!

How'd you do the tint, or did you just buy tined material?

Cheers,
