    I see you've replicated my process for gluing in a neck.

    GOD DAMN IT AUSTRAILA POST!
    So I ordered my pups and the babicz - 2 parcels, both claim they are delivered, but only one arrived. The expensive one is somewhere out there in the ether...

    So now I have to wait again Thats assuming they still have it - I'd hate to think I've lost 280 bucks
