Thanks chaps, the encouragement is much appreciated

Looking great, this is a triumph! 
Cheers Nick, it's kind of you to say so but there's a long way to go yet and plenty that can go wrong.

Because of the need to handle the beast when skinning the GS, I'm also quite limited to how much I can progress in a session, which makes the timing to the deadline quite tight. Some elements also have to be done in a certain order, as adding GS obviously impacts on the desire for low weight and a balanced pose (for both in flight and on the ground).
