Hi All,
The current rant seems to have struck a nerve!
As a draughtsman I like to make sure that the thing works on paper  before I 
start chopping up lumps of metal, even at my model club there are  those who 
think this is unusual and I have to take a load of jokes about 'he  always 
needs a bit of paper to do anything'.
It seems that nobody makes anything any more, except us.
