Mrzllewellyn Pillar of the Community United States 1901 Posts	Posted 12/29/2017 4:32 pm Yeah I've got quite a few of them at this stage and a few of each stage leading up to it I believe... so I'll be sorting them by stages and maybe put a few stages together to see the progression it will be pretty cool I think side by side just need to buy some more 2x2s Report this Post to the Staff

I have seen quite a few of them, especially on the torch shaft. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
