Back to Basics 'Burt' Showcase

Nick speaking,

What a series, I really hope you have enjoyed the Back to Basics series and have learned something from them. I have linked up all the episodes at the bottom of the post for easy access. It's been a lot of fun going through the process of unopened box to finished Marine. I have named the model 'Burt' and have sent him on his way to Texas to my good buddy Freak to enjoy, hence the free hand word Freak on his fist! Please check out Freaks YouTube Channel here so you can see 'Burt' in action...
