Thats very kind of you Glitterati... I'll certainly take you up on that, if I find I need to... once I get that far.

I'm fairly certain I will need some sort of assistance at the rigging stage, at least.

No doubt in terms of correcting my model topology for bending etc. too, indeed...

...although I think / hope I have a bit more more of a clue relative to the modelling now... and as I'm starting with Lyrra's dev kit... that should help me a lot!
