                    Quite amazing how good it all looks with it being just cardboard. When you cut out parts do you have to colour the cut edges?

                              Back to the torture chamber, eh Peter?

                              With you all the way, as I know the pain we idiots go through with these card kits!

                              Good luck.

                                I'm amazed at the results that can be achieved with card kits.
