New Forum..Scratchbuilding

Hi Matt,

Just read you built Stick and Tissue. I still do and I am looking for a supply of rubber. The best the LHS could do was a 10-pack of 7" and 8" rubber bands. Used to get a round container of Sig Contest rubber 1/8" X 25'(for 45 cents) but have had no luck with them or in my internet travels. The 7 and 8" are great for my grandsons ROG's but not for mine. Any help????????

I'm for the scratchbuilding forum too.

Jim,

I think I can help!

I used to compete with rubber-powered scale models, and I bought my motors from Peck Polymers:

Their kits are nice, too.

Hi Matt,

Thanks a lot for the info. I used to compete in indoor microfilm models. I remember Peck now that I see it. You know, the first thing that goes at my age is.....is.....is, oh well. I think I built 1 or 2 of their kits. Didn't they have kits called Peanut scale? If they did, then I did.

I have my grandsons here for the day and overnight so I'll check out that site when they go to bed.

Thanks again.

Jim
