Hey Paul. Thanks for the update! A very informative post. Its cool to
know that you've got some plans for your ships. I really look forward to
seeing some more creations from you, even if you make them before your
project is done. Even if you just post 1 or 2 pics of your ships thats still
better than nothing.
Thanks again!
(Thats 2 builders..anyone else?)
