That's an awesome looking model! Looking forward to it hitting the stores.

Jerry,

Send one of those kits to Jeff the sub bubba (JeffyJeep). He'll build it so it looks all nice and pretty. And if you ask nicely he might even post a finished picture or two.

So you at least did have an original to take measurements from? I woulda sent one of mine back home to Papa if you needed it to make new ones!

I'm fairly picky when it comes my cloning projects so "close relative" would'nt help me for the Odyssey... I'm afraid it's back to eBay for that one... bummer!
