i also wondered if perhaps Mr. Chris could go to the trouble of making it so people could see my pictures without having to click on links.
sorry that i can't do it, I'm a bit technological impaired
if you make the model please take a pic so i can see how it turned out.
don't hesitate to ask questions my pics probably don't explain that well
thanks,
Jerry
