Dan -- I've been off the air for a day or so. Just checked in to see the great progress you have made. I'm paying close attention for techniques applicable to my Hampden.

Darwin -- Well, yes and no. I was paid pretty well for the research, including travel to Korea, and the writing of the book. The research I am doing now is incidental to doing revisions of the book in hopes of publication. I won't be paid for this additional research, so I guess I was working for free on Friday. Frankly, for most of my adult life, there hasn't been a very clear distinction between work and and some of my hobbies.

All -- My modeling days go back as far as the kits that consisted of a couple of blocks of balsa -- I even remember the wartime kits with the printed parts on cardboard when balsa was a strategic material. I always had little cuts on my fingers from using broken double edged razor blades. I still find single edged blades to be very useful for many applications.
