    Well done Peter. This is shaping up rapidly. I love the arboretum and the crew there, the shuttle bay - all terrific details. All those details and the electronics are going to make this a very special build indeed.
    Looking forward to the progress
    Cheers
    Paul

          I have lost my mojo for all things lightly uppy as the wiring was beginning to boggle the brain so I am taking a little break and I am building something a bit more straightforward but hang in there I will be back.

                            As promised a small restart starting where I left off with the neck section
