Well, everyone else has taken care of saying how neat this is, just add one
more tick mark to the chorus. Hopefully if we start to demonstrate that we will
buy lots and lots there may be some future improvement on pricing.

What I actually wanted to comment on was the images. These are neat. I did a
little looking (especially at the spruce and at the transparent thinwall) and I
gotta say that I really like them. Can Brad or anyone from TLC tell us where
they came from? Check out the shading/highlighting on the lower part of the
thinwall.
I'm speculating but these don't look like they were hand drawn, rather they
look like program output
Any chance of some sort of future bridge between official TLG data and our
hobbist stuff?

Oh, and a big hats off to Jason for that.
