Thank you Bones, for the Edmund Fitzgerald tip. I made up a "kit" of balsa and card stock several years ago for a kid who was working on a history project. What a help this would have been back then. My version was all done the old draftsmans way --- compasses, french curves and steel rules. The reward was two-fold for me -- I enjoyed the research on the ore ships and the opportunity to turn a young person on to model building. There are so few who have actually built something from the raw materials or from kits that are not prepainted and snap together. It was a rare day when someone who was not grey-haired left my shop with a kit that required cutting and shaping. I do admit to liking the laser-cut ribs and bulkheads of the Dumas flying scale models. Nice to know that someone on the opposite side of the globe appreciates Gordon Lightfoot as much as my family does.
