dvm27 Posted February 23, 2014 #110 Posted February 23, 2014 I don't wish to be critical, Alex, but I note a major problem with your model - you don't work fast enough to satiate my need for further updates! This could probably be remedied by quitting your day job (unless of course you are already retired and just a really slow builder : -).
