Robb:

Oh ma' gosh. . . that is great news. And at a big time
competition like that I'm sure the competition is really
fierce. So that makes your win even that much more
meaningful. Getting that first on is a thill that is long
remembered. Eager to see the photo shoot of that
bad boy. Congratulation to you.

Rob,

The pictures that I have posted were all of the ones that I took apart from those that did not come out properly. There were so many kits and people there I found it hard to get into a position to take pictures, also people were rearranging things so it got a little confusing. So sorry that yours is missing although at the time I did think I had snapped it.
I took pictures as I was looking and shopping.
