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.

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