Totally agreed Paul - A battery powered silicon gun was one of the most useful tools during the build (10 full tubes of silicon and some sikaflex to mount things too). Along with a 2m spirit level - as you say, getting the ring perfectly level (and perfectly round) makes everything else work easily.
And yes the two halves of the clam shell require some strength and a little technique to lift into place! Happy to share any more details of my build if it helps you in the future Paul. The light panel setup works extremely well and only requires a small electrical modification to trigger using the light circuit - no other holes or permanent changes to the dome required.
