Sounds like we have a deal Nothing... Thanks!

I'm on vacation right now, but I'll be back home on Tuesday and I'll get started right away. Step one will be to email this guy that has modeled this thing in 3-D. It appears that he could help us quite a bit. He's done a lot of heavy lifting already.

Trent... Mr. Brown got back to us with some valuable photos of the pieces and parts of the ZF-1. I can't open them at home, but I'll take a look at them when I get to the office on Monday morning.

Have you had a chance to take a look at them?

Yeah, I'm not sure how helpful his parts are until I take a look at them. They may be good for scale or porportions, but until I see them the jury is out.

I'll tough base with you on Monday once I've had a chance to look his stuff over.

Thanks again Trent!

Thanks Trent. Man I Wish there was some way that your design could be incorporated into this proposed "designer's contest" that is brewing right now.

Talk about an uncovered subject.

If you need anything else from George, let me know.

That is all, end of transmission.

Very exciting to see it start to come to life. Funny how the cover (top) almost resembles a turtle's shell. That should be fun to unfold.

Great work Trent!
