Better yet, print at 'yer buddy's home!

BTW - have taken files to Office Despot on USB stick. They've got lots of holes in that computer.

I have always thought of other countries stuff prices are cheap,well,I'm wrong,at least for a few items.In the past at a nearby Cyber Cafe,I print colour models with RM 0.60 (60cents),B/W with RM 0.20 (20cents).(1 dollar=RM 3.54,based on google's currency converter I used)

But the Cafe's printer broke down(Epson Stylus C90),all the three epson printers of the same model broke down.

Printers do not need to be expensive this is a “recertified” all in one Cannon printer http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16828102389 the Ink is inexpensive ($9.99 per color) compared to my printer. Shipping is quoted at $4.00 UPS 3 day. That’s only 60 color prints at .81 each. And I did not pick on the cheapest printer they have some listed for $30!

I once paid $1000 for a dot matrix printer with god-awful name Gorilla.

If you have an apostophe in your name as I do, e.g. O'Grady, then you will need to omit the apostrophe when entering your name to register at FG otherwise you will get a server error...

So far, I end up doing at least two of anything I build. One to give away (that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!). There's always something (for me many somethings) that I could have done better - or see an easier way to accomplish.

Just did an FG BG - pretty good model overall except:
build the whole fuselage up to the motor disk first before cutting wing slots, then look at the wing slot markings; redraw as needed to straighten them up and match the front of the slot to the leading edge shape of your wing;

look closely at the canopy's position and angle on the drawings for installation, not obvious from the markings on the parts;

work your way slowly around the wing fillets, they will need some "carving" at the edges to follow the fuselage contour.

Looks like you've got a good build going.
