thanks for all the great comments, guys. this hasn't left the bench, but a few things got in front of it. the bench is now clear, and this is my next to finish. WOW!! I don't say the "F" word too often. I have been battling whether to detail it or not. I think I am going to, so I cleaned the bench, sorted all the parts out last night and will start drilling massive amounts of little holes in plastic parts. got all my reference stuff ready, I just have to avoid that sneaky little couch at night. he teases me with snacks and ice cream. hard to resist!!
