LOL in regards to the Pats! Want to know something funny? I went to high school with Duron Harmon (Number 30 on the Patriots). He used to cheat off me in Marine Biology. Me seeking acdecptance, let him. Next thing I know he gets a full ride to Rutgers. lol. But in the end, I would rather build models then play in the NFL. So we both win haha. But all stories aside, he is a nice guy (last I spoke to him -- 6 years ago upon graduating high school).
Nooo! Don't give up on V forming OR stretch sprue! Both are very easy. After some failed attempts of stretching sprue as a child , I sat down a few years ago to really learn. Now thats all I use for antenna wire ( mostly i'm too lazy to order EZ line!) You can stretch it so fine it will just float through the air like dust. I save all of my silver sprues for this purpose.
No problem! I can probably get a short tutorial up this weekend. I have a few pieces of clear plastic left. And its very satisfying when the hot plastic gets sucked down lol
