Wow oh Wow !!!! I'm sure that's already been said though good work Paul!

A few questions on your trophy. You wrote:

Was the 70mm spacing due to bracing or for keeping the inside struts of the
cover? Are you using two separate shutters and triggering them with a
bracket? I believe this is a true Siamesing project rather than twinning as
the modification isn't reversible.

Very impressive. I'll be looking forward to seeing the results in the next
folio!
