I would say that the latter are the only drawback to his products, as you are often forced to compare some tiny object you can barely see to a silouhette you can barely make out, and you need other references to really use the sets to their best advantage. Tom's brass is the thinnest I've worked with, very soft. Once annealled it does not have much structural rigidity at all and is very forgiving of mis-bent type mistakes. .Mark. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 31 May 2000 11:44:52 -0400 From: Lyle Lamboley To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: New image online Message-ID: <20000531.114455.-126961.0.lyle.lamboley@juno.com> Very nice job on the Pfalz, Todd.
