cassibill, I have the Starships On the ... book. Send me a mailing address and I'll send it. I keep preaching to my kids -- give and you shall receive, or the more secular version -- "Pay it Forward". Anyway, I gave sci-fi modeling a shot but didn't really get into it. Since you are helping out Big Jake, I'll let you have the Rick Jackson book. Who knows, maybe something good will come my way. Like a re-release of some of those Aoshima/ex-Imai sailing ship kits!
It's one less thing to keep track of while packing and moving. Re-uniting with my better half after a long seperation and I've been very busy working on the Trumpeter Mayflower, etc. Thought I'd squeeze in a reference to ship modeling since that's supposed to be the topic. She cleared out a big area for my model stuff at the house. She even refers to them as ship models now, instead of calling them my "little boats". Must be some serious honey-do projects coming up. My e-mail is huffinator@netscape.com. Do it ASAP though, as I'll be pulling the plug on the PC Thursday afternoon, and will be off-line for a few days.
