At 12:58am on December 17, 2013, Dave said…: Thanks so much Rich - the stats are very helpful indeed. I am still collecting all the bits and certainly prepared to mess up and have fun doing so. I have found the measurement side tricky but as you say, its all trial and error.

Thanks for such a helpful response, and I'll post the progress as and when. Best wishes

Dave
