My R996 model is finally finished! The four part feature at Bricks in my
Pocket (BimP) is fully online now. Many thanks to Steven Combs, editor of
BimP, for featuring my model.

(look in the MODELS section)
The model will be appearing at Brickfest, providing it survives the flight
to DC. I'm looking forward to displaying it!
I'll be creating my own webpages (at a much later date) on the model to
feature the many photos I took of it during construction. For those of you
not familiar with my project, I took a pic every so often to document the
building process from start to finish.
cheers,
TJ Avery
