Thanks for the link. I somehow thought that a bit of refinement went into this one. I will flip through all the build in a quite minute with fast internet. 🙂

Jep, that is about the extent of modifications I suspected. 🙂
Splendid result, although I would have liked a dash of weathering. But that is a matter of personal preference and doesn' t lessen your efforts.
