Comment:	Thanks, it turned out better than I thought it would, this one took me about 10 hours in total, that's why I cheated on the Blue Beetle ad at the end of the book and pinched one!! I'm not as good as Yoc, with the repairs, with me you can have any shape of patch as long as it's rectangular!!!
