Rich,
I gotta tell ya, for a first time builder, you have really figured out what paper modeling can be. While I want every one of our customers to buy every kit we turn out, I also want them to realize that they have an inexhaustable supply of kit-bash and scratch-building material available. And the great thing is, is that it is usually left over from a kit that you already paid for. This is a whole nother aspect of building with paper that I want to encourage everyone to try. Way to go Rich. Keep up the great work.
