Hi James (...) Glad you found it useful. (...) [snipped lots of good stuff] Useful suggestions, James. I knew all of that (at least in theory), since I've been a model builder since the 1960s (although, back in '67 I was more of a Stick It Together (...) (20 years ago, 12-Apr-05, to lugnet.parts.mod)
