Holy c**p! I was just chuckling at the groppos for the 'embarrassment of
riches', in choices not pocketbook, so that their bank accts were in
jeopardy, and I notice, not only the increasing NI, but NSL additions
from
the first of the year I'd missed.

*ow*

I'm assuming some are from contractors that the UN are using...

Wow, Noam, I thought you'd done some of the sculpting; you aren't
tooting
your own horn, are you? ;->=

OK, dopey moi.

Is that a Monty Python great? "Greate, just greate!"

Those Yerushalayim(sp?) and Barak ARE fetching, but aren't they a little
close in appearance. In person, is there any problem in telling them
apart?
It's a delicate juggling act, making unique ships that still 'hang
together'.

Well and truly begun, but you noticed that.

I can't depend on getting kits together the way they're intended. Just
figure, whatever you suggest, may well show in the next kit list. Are
you
going to share bashed kit ship stats?

OHMYGOSH, try saying that quickly.
