No talent at all I'm afraid. Looking at your photos I know I am not working to the same standards as you. My flat seems to have been a cheap jobby when it was built, if you run your hand over the brick and plaster wall you can feel bulges here and there. So I only have to match that standard, rather than kill myself aiming for perfection.
Plus I tiled over the area I plastered so it didn't have to be glass smooth. I used mosaic tiles to compensate for the slight imperfections/bulges, but if you know where to look you can see that the mosaic tiles are a bit off here and there.
That being said, I am perfectly happy to lend a hand to fellow forumengers.
