And I'm done... finally what a read loads of helpful tips and after feeling some what daunted by it all yesterday afternoon I have since emalled ATA and got my name down on the waiting list. Now just have to see if I can be patient enough or if it will give out and I end up blowing more money on an RS kit.
But thanks really helpful... now off to read up on E-11 Blasters.
And for the record ATA awesome chap got back to me within the day (time zone difference possibly helped there) but fast replies even after that pretty much instant and really helpful.. nearly tempted me to a sandtrooper.
