D. laxiflora) is a species of tree in the oleander subfamily. It grows to approximately 60 metres (200 ft) tall with diameters of 2 metres (5 to 6 ft), or even to 80 m (260 ft) tall with diameters to 3 m (10 ft)[1], and boles clear and straight for 30 m (90 ft). It grows in Malaysia, Borneo, Sumatra and southern Thailand[1]. Its natural distribution is scattered locales in low-elevation tropical evergreen forest. Jelutong is used for its wood. Along with balsa it is technically a hardwood with many properties similar to that wood. These properties such as the low density, straight grain and fine texture mean it is easy to work with and hence popular with model makers and within the patternmaking trade. The roots are used as a cork substitute. In addition, jelutong can be tapped for latex and from the 1920s through the 1960s, jelutong latex was an important source of chewing gum. poppy 21-Oct-11 10:05 These are perfect!!

David Duckett 21-Oct-11 10:47 All I expected was the tanks, unpainted...I sent Ted a photo of the plastic part in the reference kit and this is the result. ;-), ;-), ;-) Creosotewind 21-Oct-11 11:04 These look great. Ted knows his stuff. I've had a great pleasure getting to know him and pick his mind on model building and wood working. Please sign in to comment on this image.
