Thanks. Still thinking although my boys still want the weapons done

Yes with all the extras to stick on it power or lack of is going to be 
an issue. I think I might just upgrade to a bigger foot print and up the 
motors and power source. I can then stick on lots more fun bits. And of 
course the kids can have the axe they want so much!

Its a good bit of software. Will use it more often I think.
