Found a couple of things over at Hobby Lobby that are probably worthy of inclusion. I was looking at some way to model old-fashioned venitian blinds- (not the modern skinny ones) in an office building I was working on for the club. I found some striped scrapbooking paper at Hobby Lobby that when it has cord lines drawn makes a reasonably decent closed venitian blind. (maybe a little wide but the effect is there.) Also in the scrapbooking section I found some raised chipboard letters (2.50 at half off) that are perfect for creating raised letter billboards on top of buildings (or on them for that matter) Jim
