Quite so, Aggro - it has taken far too long to get this far. All was going swimmingly until life got in the way... Back on track now, though!

Real life can really get in the way of miniature painting and gaming.

Wow! High praise indeed, Bezzo - and gratefully accepted. There's a lot of talent out there in the world of wargaming and model making. It's a thrill to be in such good comany. Thanks!

Hey now. That's enough of that talk.
Just because I've had 8 plastic surgeries and the most "off road" my Humvee has ever been was to Starbucks, doesn't mean I don't have a real life.  lol

I like your smaller HMSW 'Pantagruel' as well - though I do feel some attachment, having suggested her name.
