   I know, but I like to build things the way they were "designed" to be, so I
 like to ask if they were designed to be one specific way.  Of course, if that
 way is significantly less good looking to my eye, then I'll do it my way, but
 I do like to be consistent with a fleet.  I'd never quibble with people doing
 it their own way though.  :-)

 (hey, some of the mini's come with tubes that are obviously the AMT's, but 
  some come with little "boxes" to attach.  Anyone know what they're supposed
  to be, if anything?)
