Kattanga Part 4. more BLACK PLASTIC please

A trip to the Devon County Council recycling depot on Marsh Barton found BLACK PLASTIC treasure: broken: garden chairs, office furniture, vacuum cleanerbits, plantpots and a few Unidentified Objects. Kattanga now has curves. A dismantled vacuum-cleaner brush on top of his neck supports a curved pipe; so his neck gracefully arches. His underbelly is being infilled with exciting shapes. His neck is a lattice of black plastic, which suggests the lines of his mane.
Perhaps the coathangers hung from Kattanga's neck detract from his silhouette? On the Teignmouth Recycled Art in the Landscape sculpture trail, a meaningful silhouette would be striking. So maybe no more plastic is needed here - the hanging coathangers could be moved to his tail.
To fill Kattanga's legs and body, we need MORE BLACK PLASTIC PLEASE; any BLACK PLASTIC, especially curved or latticed pieces, and cassette/video tape. Black wire would be good too. But coathangers with their wonderful curves and their adaptability to shape would be the best; if you have any to spare.
Please comment below, or telephone, if you can help with material for Kattanga the Coathanger Horse
