thanks guys. I'm going to go a different direction this time though. after the zeo fiasco and watching all the sps death, i'm done with that. at least for awhile. going to focus on softies, but i'm going to try some more unusual stuff. we'll see how that goes.
I've been AFK for awhile, but sign me up. Great bunch of people that have a genuine interest in helping newbies (I'm a good example of that!) and bettering the hobby for all.
