Yes! I thought that when i looked at getting one but couldn't think of a decent way of doing it. Im sure your Dad will think of something though

Yeah i am sure he will too... he said there may be a way to modify the mounts we have already! I will let you know anyways if he figures out a way to do it

We are hoping to have it in colour by christmas but as you well know.. nothing really goes to plan when it comes to mini's!
