David Duckett | 11-Mar-14 06:16 | Thanks, Ted. When I was growing up all the kids in the neighborhood carried pocket knives everywhere, even to school, but it was no big deal. I learned to whittle early so when my first model kit had printwood all I did was switch to a single edge razor blade. The xacto, and the CA, are the only difference between then and now. Many kits contain only printwood and many modelers consider the cutting of parts as enjoyable as the rest of the build. The joinery just comes from having done it so often. |
