Thank you all for the great compliments! When I went to the Lugola Meeting I
met this great guy nammed Brian Stokes. He had these huge tote boxes packed
to the brim with each color in it's own box. I got a huge bag of plates and
parts. As soon as I am mentally healed from this NYC disaster I will
continue construction of the GG Mech.
Thank you all for your support and I'm glad everyone digs this crazy new Mech!
BTW during the news broadcasts last night I began sorting thru the parts to
help take my mind off the terror of the situation. Oddly it was soothing to
sort thru the pcs. I guess just the fact that part of my mind was busy
looking thru all the stuff I got me feeling just a tad bit better.
You know what they say about idle hands.
Thanks guys....
Eric
