Well thanks Jeremy, I guess I just got a little insecure about my model
building skills. Cause look at it, my models in comparison to yours and Ken
Takeuchi's (let's not forget Pat's, Bram's,Colin's and Ben's) are nothing. You
guys seem to really have a talent that I'd like to have. So can you blame a guy
for being jealous. Sorry for blowing my top Jeremy!
Mladen Pejic, over and out!
