Thanks for the very complimentary comment....Pat G,<br /><br />Thanks for the very complimentary comment.<br /><br />You have summed it up very well indeed!

Thanks for the complimentary comment...David Crook,<br /><br />Thanks for the complimentary comments about the model.<br /><br />If I can fit the models into a single Hexon II hex I will do so because it will make writing the rules so much easier ... and the models will be easier to store.<br /><br />I have learned some very useful lesson making this model, and they will be reflected in the next models I build.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br /> BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-59309854285321106802012-02-27T12:16:42.801+00:002012-02-27T12:16:42.801+00:00Hi Bob,
