Thanks Kev, it will be a challenge piece of work hahah.
As for the blue, i decided to go red, there are so many sources they have got red that i decided to go for it.
I agree, blue would have been a good contrast.
Cheers

Daniel,you restless soul.Never still huh?Well this is a great subject.I agree with Nap 100% that South American subjects are marvellous and and rather under-represented in our hobby.You are definitely the man to remedy that.
