Well, you finally broke the news to the gang Phil! I'd been dropping a few hints here and there, but don't think that they caught on! I thought it best to leave it up to you since you were paying the big bucks!
I saw that armature last week and it's a really neat piece of engineering. A shame to cover it up with the model really. Doug, I wouldn't say it's anything close to lightweight, the aloooominum tubing is very thick-walled. I reckon it could carry three or four guys without bending, easily.
I'll be using my wooden battlestar experience to make sure Phil stays on track....
