southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 That will come later mate... At the moment i just want to get the fundamentals down packed then ill start to get the more advanced things happening. Certainly got the bug for it now though.... Especially since i got the casting right anyway... Makes it more enjoyable when you can lay out a nice cast and not have to worry about getting caught on stuff!
