I know there are some bits on this which could've been improved upon which I didn't see until I was stacking the cake but it was for my SIL and she was absolutely over the moon with it.  However, it's obviously lessons learned for the next time I do something like this. 

Stop beating yourself up, @Cakey-Pin ‍!  This is a gorgeous cake, of course she was over the moon!  Beautiful work with the texture comb!  

Thank you, that means a lot.  I know I have a ways to go yet but it's lovely to hear your comments :D
