That's a huge lift compared to the original! Very nicely done.
Enjoyed looking through some of the other China pix again too - good that you took so many; I don't think Americans or Australians will be welcome there any time soon.
While I'm here - where did that Mermaid Cove redux end up. I've scouted PF a few times now without any luck - was it actually a part of a PF challenge or was it with another forum?
