Yes and you get 4 per $10 Alpha Team set! Dave Johann caught me 52 of the
middle tail part and the tips for .05 each; obviously that helped.

I agree that I've gotten to a point where it doesn't matter anymore what I
can build so much as what I want to build. I think I"m going to continue in
the same direction. I've been thinking of taking what I liked best (or what
worked best) in each of the last four models and combining the ideas somehow.

work large enough to still make out arbitrary shapes...not easily done
without some sort of symmetry.

about 150 online!...and 500 click hinges.

It's just a matter of time :-D I got one of those Borok ones today...pretty
cool little model! Kind of evil feel to it ;-D
