Thanks guys I appreciate your kind words.
Having never entered a “model contest” before I was a little apprehensive because there
were some really good models put on display, and I have to fess up, I voted for a couple of
others over mine(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-embarassed.gif)(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)
