Nope, haven't needed one so far.

Re: Project '86
and I can remember when the project stalled & you were going to sell it off ...

Congrats on the coverage. Having been in a mag or three myself I know what a mental boost this gives one's self knowing that other will be inspired from what grew from your mind & hands.

Great job.
