My memory must be jogged, where was the one at LLC? Wait....was it the one

I never got up close to see that model.
You'd be surprised how much models like that cost - I've seen a couple
projects done independently by AFOLs and the cost of those alone (and we're

even a little bit of a deal ;-) Remember, you're also paying for design and
labor....
