    dont worry bout that im pedantic about my builds this thing has changed so many times as its been going along.

    i just like something that i have done than something els i think of looks better :)

    modding and building is a full time thing for me at the moment no work :clap:

    This looks pretty awesome! Don't stop on the account of others attitudes... Seriously, if anyone else is going to give you attitude for something you are doing, then ignore it and keep plugging on! Seriously, if every piece of criticism I had been given, made me give up, I wouldn't continue modding. You are who you are as an individual, and what you do is up to you. I would much like to see where you are taking this, so please don't quit!

    That ^

    Although, I don't know what you're talking about attitude wise... I have seen nothing but positive and/or encouraging posts in this thread so far... am I missing something?


    Edit: Never mind, I see most of your other threads turned into flaming... well, flaming at any rate. Sorry to see that happen. Do what you must, I guess.
