Seen it in the flesh (or steel, as it were). Absolutely awesome armour (great guy too.) Don't forget that the price includes size mods.

Might I suggest "Post here if you have had problems with Westland Crafts". As far as I am aware, quite a few peo...

You may well find that you get your tracking number on the day your shipment arrives...or afterwards. See if you can get the AWB number - usually available sooner.

For what it's worth, it's illegal to remove stuff from a skip without permission over here. Might this be the case in PA?

Also, does PA have a "Theft by Finding" law?
