Thank you Jon, It was a pleasure to build and now I know the pitfalls and have a better understanding of stitch and glue my next one will be even better. And as Dick Proenneke says "its always a pleasure to see what you can make instead of buying it" and when you have built it you understand how to repair it if it breaks

Yup, although it starts tonight I have fallen foul to a chest infection so won't be going (nor will I be able to make it next week)
Cheers
