New To Me AB

Post by Tron7960 »

I thought I'd share some pics of my "previously enjoyed" AB.

Having recently received a Federation while awaiting the arrival of my Magnoli HJ, I had planned to wait some time to order an AB. I admit that although I was intrigued by all I've heard (read) about the AB, I was also somewhat deterred by the wait time (patience may be a virtue, but not one I've been blessed with an abundance of).
So when I recently had the opportunity to acquire an AB through the Cairo Bazaar, I jumped at it.

It arrived today, and all I can say is WOW!

Thanks everyone.

The funny thing is I don't even know if it's rabbit or beaver! That's how excited I was to get it, I forgot to ask. Not that it matters to me, but I do know it's from 2005.

And yes, Argonaut, the fourth pic shows my Federation, but it's a "regular".
Also a great hat which holds it's own beside the AB!

Nice AB! Congratulations. It looks fantastic. I'm even MORE surprised at how great the Federation looks next to it! The bashing job on the Fed is superb. You have two great hats there.
