Damn, I knew I should've gone out and bought one of those buckets in order
to get a picket fence :) I could've won! Heck, I was also hoping you'd go
by the number of each lame part used, as I have a great many of them in my
model. Oh well. It was still fun to try and build this crazy thing.
Here's to hoping the lame parts in the sets you're giving me will show up in
next year's contest!
