Within a matter of hours, every Allied base in the countryside had started production of one. A few hours after that, I received a message that a fellow in another base had switched the gun with that from an A-10 warthog. It wasn't enough that he merely created an SG with a bigger machine gun, but he also added more armour and a niftier paint job. Twin machine guns with even more armour, which carried more ammunition, and had added rocket launcher capabilities. And to foil him on another level, I used blue AND black sparkle paint.
Nothing beats the sparkle paint.
Skip insisted I get a picture of him pretending to tinker with it so he could show his friends. My first week of being in the tinker shop went very well. He was in and out so quickly that I can't be sure I saw him at all. Jeebus was a completely different story. He clanked into the bay carrying about 500 pounds of steel parts which I needed.
