Too right. Plenty of room, nice dark skies, world class fishing spots just down the road.....lovely and quiet. Sounds like a great place for a holiday after putting this together.

I'd have thought you'd harness all the little puggies up to the sleigh. If you left now, you might make it up for xmas 2010.

That's just too funny.
And there's a little Rudolf too!
Do you still have the one I sent you cleaning your monitor?

Hi Mike

Yes, I have it. I'm still trying to decide how I'm going to tackle it!

Make sure not to crop out any of the extended halo Chris, but obviously not too small that you can't see the dust lanes

Ps. I think I can guess what it is..

Thanks Frank

Right - we've hit 65 that are, for all intents and purposes, constructed.

I have an additional 5 pages-worth reserved for people who have indicated that they'll be submitting this weekend or that I have in hand.

1) paramount
2) rigel003
3&4) strongmanmike (x 2 feature)
5) quantum629


(indicated) possibles:

7) Toryglenboy
8) D V Tatenhove (Netherlands)

So - in reality we have room for another two or three - and we'll be closing the doors!
