That's OK, War'. If they weren't in the UK, and I weren't lazy about
getting the money across, I'd give you a run for the items. I may be
just a
vacc-head, but anything painted has my attention, and I'm actually
charmed
by these.

I'm so bad about painting, as in the painting is bad, I'm still loaning
figs to folks to play with as long as they like, as long as they return
them if they bore of 'em. Have only gotten back a few painted ships, but
there's a fellow that's doing up an Evil Empire(tm) Praetorian box up
that's looking useful for possible future VSF.

That's 15mm, right? Sweet! I think I picked up a 'company' of same with
the
interchangeable hulls and tread/hoverskirt/whatevers, if they are indeed
MM's. Sound right?

There were also some heli/jets, that look a lot like Bell 47's.

Haven't had a lot of trouble with my name, though Doug occasionally
becomes
Dog. However, while I don't find the rapping total abhorrent, I do have
a
problem with being referred to as 'beastie'.

Don't rap, definitely not a 'boy'. Do claim to be 'beastly', though.

'round these here parts, Zathras is NOT an obscure reference, pardnar.

This Nebraskan came damn near to blows several times while travelling
through the southeast. I am NOT a Yankee.
