Looks good Eric, glad the show worked out for y'all. And I'm happy to see
the NGLTC ornament made it in time, I was a bit slow in getting it mailed off.
I see you got to experence the "joy" of drilling holes in LEGO bricks:

now try it on 800 2x2 and see what a mess of little plastic strands you end
up with, I'm afraid I'll never get them out of the garage :)
Great job,
jt
