When I was a child (ooooh.... about that many years ago now) there was a TV programme called Blue Peter, and it was on every week. They would run art and craft projects to teach us kids how to make things, and each week they would do a little bit more to the project, like sticking the cut out pieces of card together, or painting it, etc. Because air time was limited they had this way of showing you the method, then suddenly producing a perfectly finished version of what it should look like once you've finished doing that stage, using the phrase "And so that you can see how it should look when you've done that -
here is one I did earlier"
It was at that point that I would stare at the perfect model on screen, and then down at my partly crumpled and disjointed construction all covered in wet glue and paint, and pull a... 'do I laugh or cry'... face at it
That's how I feel when I see your maps, even though you do these WIPs for us. What you have there is WAAAAY better than my attempted scribble at this end!!!! ROFL!
But please don't let that put you off. Its fun (and pretty hilarious) just trying to imitate you
