Hey Gary, I thought your site was great! Super job in creating the statue and the plane. You have did a superb job with color and design. I would like to see more. Makes me miss the adventurers sets all that much more... Keep up the good work! Tom (23 years ago, 2-Jan-02, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.contests)
