Dol--A might--Phus,

Nice bag of bring it -- dreaming is the door, brother.

I'm into that Jack action.

A very good bit red beard Darth Vader.

Back when he was a true breeder of fear...

Not some whiny kids sad daddy.

I do not dig that Vader... I was into his out in the edges of the galaxy outlaw action more.

Very nice. I'm actually building a low-poly train for a BF1942 Mod (Global Front). Looking at your pics have helped me to understand how trains work and so how to construct it. Thanks
