Thank you indeed sir.

I have the intention to write a HowTo about this scene, especially as - 
since 2009 - I have learned quite a lot of new tricks which I then 
applied here. I am really thinking about a "Robert McGregor" kind of 
explanation. I am sure it can indeed be of benefit to others, if not for 
remembering myself on how to do certain things! I often have to reinvent 
my own wheels... ;-/

Otherwise, I do much if not most by intuition and trial-and-error. 
Especially the second half of the scene building process when the 
essential elements are in place one way or another, are time-consuming. 
It is this fine-tuning which consumes most of the time nowadays (in the 
past I felt a kind of "urgency" which drove me on towards the end; not 
always with best results I am afraid).
