Thanks Katharine! :-D I wouldn't run too fast, as there's a sheer drop! :lol:

Thanks everyone - I agree, these 3D models do suit secret passages very well indeed!

hearts mad delight,

:lol: Is that like the time when (at least according to legend) Charlie Chaplin won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest?? :wink: Seriously, that's a fantastic piece of art, Rob — well done.
