Kostucha Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Oh, I completely agree there. I really like how you added "some scratch building of my own"... that right there will take all that AM stuff, plus the kit, and take it to a whole new level. I'm looking forward to seeing work on this one! BTW, I've hyperlinked this build to your name on the "Who's building what" list as well. Cheers! Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
