That one was 48cm. Who's going ot make your one? A professional may well be able to go over a metre. I was thinking you could create a kind of plinth to cheat and give it extra height, rather than the whole thing being a cone. Did you see my newest post Rowan? That one was 48cm.

Dan, how high do you reckon I can expect one to go? I'm hoping for a metre at least...

You couldn't really make segments, as you assemble it within a large, stainless steel conincal mould. It's only leaning as I had a finite amount and didn't fill up the mould to a nice level finish, if you see what I mean!
