Just heard the sad news about James Doohan. Star Trek's "Scotty".  I'm sure
there are loads of kids out there that grew up wanting to be engineers

I put down a coat of Tamiya white fine primer, and am waiting for it to dry

I'm wanting to improve my use of photoetch parts so I've been looking at the
various tools available: Etch Mate and the Hold and Fold.

either or both of these tools. They seem to be pretty much the same. Is

Gentlemen,
Can anybody point me in the direction of some drawings of Gauge one

submission. I'm at a bit of a standstill though, because I can't find
a reference for the intake/vent on the left side above and behind the
