Not Dengar! Boo Hiss! More Dengar!

Thanks!  Yes the TS strapping/greeblie kit is amazing.  It contains everything to complete the build, using the original methods, as best as they are known.

TM is also putting a Dengar strapping/greeblie kit together for me.

Not Dengar! Boo Hiss! More Dengar!

Kidding. Love it man. 

Patience, my friend.
