Any update on the Build Martin ??? :D
And I said, Officer, I didn't want to be drunk in public...I wanna be drunk in the bar. Now last time I checked it was still legal to be drunk in the bar. They threw me into public...arrest them!

Good to see your making progress Martin and the fact that you have only bought one other mini does not make you mad,around here it would make you one of the sane ones.

The mad ones tend to buy Minis and then leave them sitting around the place waiting for them to "mature".

Am I paranoid or was that a subtle dig?

However the cleverly mad ones buy ones that dont rust.....like....umm....a marcos for example :lol:

I will see you at the MTM so Martin..... 8) Good to see the Minis are multiplying......it means you are hooked now !!! :twisted: Should be a doddle to put the other sprite together since you have one for comparison now !! :!:
