probable something like this has been posted before (especially the spout - I found some mentions but no pics) but here goes...
the spout is vinyl tubing from the hardware, took a couple of goes to get the angles right
the surround-shield is cut from a plastic sheet that came as packaging on a flatscreen TV
a large PETE soft-drink bottle also springs to mind
alternatives would be found in the stationery section of the supermarket (eg plastic folders) in a range of colours
I reckon newsagents or scrapbooking suppliers would have some pretty cool foiled paper/card that would look nice
and theres always aluminium window-flashing from the hardware
I made the first mock-up with A4 photocopy paper, eventually transferring to graph paper to get the symmetry right, then traced with the plastic and cut with knife/scissors

Maybe I should talk to my bank about a direct debit scheme.
