I am looking forward to seeing how this project goes.

Thank you, gents.

As far as a rivet-budget goes; why limit oneself? I've just added a further 303, with many hundreds (or even thousands) still to go!

Madness? Maybe... but I'm such a happy wee chap...

"Well, I've been busy."

Have to call you on that; beyond mere modesty.

Really, I keep promising myself not to be stunned. Or, skeptical.

The lamp parts hardly seemed plausible, but the result is BRILLIANT!

And I'm just going on about a detail...  :o

Oh, yes, the porthole vignette is priceless!

Thanks, James - I really like the way that porthole shot came out too.

Doug - your encouragement, as ever, is greatly appreciated! There are many months ahead of me on this project, I expect. I hope to keep surprising and entertaining you!
