        Nice! But I do know one thing. That's definitely not an accurate translation on the back of that sign!

              My Arabic is non-existent, but according to Google Translate, the top line says “Meeting 8” (ا لقاه٨ ة as I make it, “a lqah8”), but I can’t decipher the letters in the bottom line. Unless it says هاده (“hadh”) with some additional accents, which apparently means “this”.

                      Mucker, never mind just the sign translation. I'm writing what an excellent little build this is, dust n'all.

                      Great job.

                          Chances are I’m completely misreading everything other than the number 8, of course
