Sorry about the quality of the pics...my camera died and I had to use my crappy iPhone camera... but I started off at the Yodel depot just to be a bit different lol. Here are a few pics (I can post more if you like)

A MASSIVE thank you for all the help from the lovely forum dwellers, I would have been stuck without you! I may have asked a few daft questions but I have learnt so much over the past few weeks and will still remain on the forums to help (if I can) and just enjoy the banter!

My Steam name is 'fragg1e_rock' (what a show!) if anyone wants to add me!

Let me know what you think.....
