I'm kinda sorry Mark, got to carried away. To tell you the truth I would like
to see more people using LEGO CAD programs, because then I could actually see
how peoples models are built, and learn something from it. I too, really don't
mind real photos, but do mind how it sometimes detracts from the model. Sorry
again, Mark, I at least now know your line of reasoning!
Mladen Pejic, over and out!
