Hi...   This is just a very small version  I did alongside  just an enhancement of the stone and lettering  for KP.
This version is just something I tried for KP as being suitable to frame maybe .. The version posted here is tiny  for Rootschat but the version Kp has will print 7x5 inches. Please pm me with your email address if you want me to do anything  to help with your pic ... I'd be happy to as Lydart says ...

Wow, Poll, that's fantastic. I might have to send you my two Smiths from the Menin Gate, so you can have a play with them too.
