well guys, i appreciate all the comments and ideas. there
are many out there for cheap money, the main thing is
finding a good sucker. (tun impended.) but you've made me
really think about the value. 90% would be for canpoies
becuase i suck at the heat and smash. is there any other way
beside smash or vac? i've come to hate most kitopies and
oleve the vacs.
thoughts on this?

Back in the day solid model builders used to make canopies by
applying *many* coats of clear varnish on a wooden buck. Sounds like
great fun... ;-p

Hey, after a couple of coats of varnish you can sit back and discuss the
world situation with the little furry people who wander in.
