Thanks for that Karl. I will now look at Occre with an open mind!  Currently Building:

Hi Karl. Great work on the jolly. Looks like when I get there, there is going to be some serious kit bashing happenning to achieve the same result all the way round. You still have agood looking build there. Rgds, Hans
