(...) (in slightly depressed tone) It's ok, I suppose. I sure that you were tired and overworked when making this rather small figurine. I feel sorry for you. I'd get more excited about it but, just can't quite work up the effort. :) Mark N (19 years ago, 3-May-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
