Don't worry about it - I saw some posts today - sorry I was unable to respond. Work gets in the way sometimes

.
Please feel free to ask your questions. I believe you've gotten some feedback on them already and if you miss some ask again.
A couple of general pointers
1. Go read all the features. There are answers to washes, snow, buildings, water, bases, bricks, etc etc.
2. Look through the gallery's - there are soooo many great references and inspirations. I routinely go and see what's new. I can honestly say I have looked at every album in there, great stuff.
3. Do some searches in the forums and you'll be surprised at how much information 2500 users can produce.
4. Just ask. The moderators are great here, they will move or ask to move a post if it doesn't appear to be in the most appropriate place.
