Thanks for those comments Tobbe, they are well received since this balance and
tuning of which you speak was the main thing I was aiming for with this model. I
wanted it to be robust as well, and indeed even after I thought I had completed
it back in April, when I exhibited it at the Modelshow Europe in Geldermalsen
flaws were still being exposed, in that case the slewing mechanism became less
efficient after a day being operated by the visitors. The improvements I made
after this made the slewing more efficient as well as more robust, and
incremental improvements have been made in a Darwinian fashion like this ever
since.

That'll be me. It's not so easy when the camera is rolling :-)
