Those are words women could get sick over. Not me though.

I normally shred the out of date ones. But it looks they could be put to better use.

The kit is what it is, probably considered not too bad back in 1958 when it was first released! But that was 1958.....
Excellent work on improving it Ian, lovely stuff, good to see.

If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

I use them as plastic card, for spreading glue over large surfaces in paper modelling, for mixing paints/filler on, for holding filler while I apply it i.e. between tube/mixing and application...Eric Mc wrote:I normally shred the out of date ones. But it looks they could be put to better use.
Please critique my posts honestly i.e. say what you think so I can learn and improve...
