Nice one Jim - but don't sneeze during the build, or the whole lot will fly off the bench into oblivion !

Patience! I promise this will not be another S.55 Fiasco so keep Charles off my back. And you know what you can do with that English Electric Stove Pipe Karl!

Hope it's nothing serious my friend.
