    looks ok to me .Mabe the cables hanging from the tree could be made a bit neater using some cable ties.. But don't see any other serious problems.

    Looked like MC4 connectors to me. I even was surpirised with the level of painter's knowledge because he painted the MC4 connectors very realisticaly.
