Hello Mr Bramhill,
First of all let me say it is a pleasure to meet you. Over the past number of years I have watched so many of your tutorials online. Nice to finally make contact. You have done a wonderful job at mocking up the image I sent along. And Ernie also did a great job. This is just the task I was trying to figure out how to do in Xara. Well done. I am sure there were many steps involved in doing this task. It would not be fair to ask you to detail it all, but I am grateful to see it accomplished and to know it can be done. I appreciate what you have been able to accomplish. Thanks for taking an interest in this project. Sincerely, Harry Soper
@ gratitude: Thanks for your comments.
@ Acorn: Yes, I find doing it by eye to easy to make mistakes. I place everything I want to mould inside a no fill/no stroke rectangle which also helps keep everything resized/positioned in the same manner. Xara's mould tool is very long in the tooth now and in desperate need of updating.
Egg, I just re-"discovered" that you can nest Moulds and keep everything editable:

Not sure if this can be achieved in Xara, but let's say I have a cylindrical shape, can I flex an image to wrap around that shape?
It can be done in PS, but I was curious whether it could be done in Xara; even more curious how I could do it with CSS. May be there is a plug-in?

Thanks Acorn, interesting.
