                          I am in awe with your build, every time I go away and come back a bit more genious has happened....
                          As for the cleanliness of you model room, those cables under the bench need a tidy up and do I detect a speck of dust on the lampshade

                                Done for the day, the deck was wooden with a black anti slip coating. Not sure how to go about that?
