                        How are plastic models made? Are there any good books or links out there? Looks like the detail has gotten better since I was a kid (But they still torture us with those darn molding seams). Also, any ideas for making realistic cloth for 1/32 kits, such as a canopy cover or jet nozzle tarps? Real cloth looks too dorky. BTW, the people on these boards are really nice and go out their way for eachother. It's refreshing to see that on the Web. Group hug!Clown [:o)]

                        FSM did a article a couple of years ago on how mosels are made. Send me your email and I'll scan it to you.

                        ooh! Could you send it to me too? ( xj_mike@hotmail.com ) I've been dying to know for years. Just never got around to asking..

                        As for cloth.. You know the labels in clothing? That makes pretty good cloth. Granted, its a bit stiff.. In large scale kits they make nice belts.
