Horton in the Sky with Rhinestones (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds)

Okay, Herr Feldmarshall, me thinks you deserve a golden knuckle cluster to your Red Fist of the MOJOs for that.

I was referring to our brave Vance, who despite the ridicule he receives not finishing the HO, having the Gadget get stuck in a labor dispute, still makes the supreme effort to stay in Moncton to get U bleeping 2 to sign the Gadget! Although, now you mention it, I could use some cleaning up!

sorry forgot to add the pic....these are the joints that all Dragon Ho-makers will encounter.....Mike...when you do yours.....make sure you add something underneath to strengthen that joint....I assure you it will crack at least twice before you finish the Ho if you dont...

Oh and notice the nerve tonic in the backround.....that also helps..

Since my pancreas won't allow me to drink, I'd have to take an additional "happy pill" to overcome the horror and remorse over the Carlos' wounded HO.

My Dragon HO229 should arrive by the end of the month from our new Chinese Overlords.  The Revell HO229 is a good prep for the larger scale.
