Hey, thanks for the compliment Larry! And thanks for the info on the color.
I'll have to update my web page now and get rid of that appology. I guess
my color reproduction was more accurate than I thought! :)
And just so that you all realize how unbiased I am, I'll even criticize my
own model; after having it around for a while it seems pretty clear to me
that the nose needs to be 1 stud shorter. Its just a bit too long. I knew
that when I was building it, but due to the parts I selected for the nose,
that was one of the compromises I accepted. At the time I thought it was
the right compromise. Now, however, I think the overly long nose is more
detracting that I had originally hoped. Whether I actually ever get around
to doing anything about it is another question, but its on my list of things
to do when I get board. :)
Thanks again Larry,
Kim
