Cheers Rick , getting to that point where I just want it finished. Anyone else get that feeling ?

I get that every time I build anything. Funny thing is, it goes away as I get to the finish…..

Thanks Tim, glad I'm not alone. When it's finished I then see parts they could be redone !

I also get the "just wish I'm finishing this" then have to stop fiddling at the end!

Thanks also to you all for the comments and suggestions, including buxom serving ladies.

Excellent work John. You’ve nailed figures now haven’t you…..the interaction of the groups is natural. I can almost hear the accordion playing in the background……
