While I can understand the using of free stuff out there, and I have too, you still need a good source for your styrene needs. There are so many different shapes, thicknesses, and styles of styrene that you need, a good source is essential. If you are in a large city, look in the back of MR and see if there are any good LHS's near you. If a city isn't too far away, then considered driving in once every two months. <br /> <br />Don't be surprised at how expensive some of your first scratch building is as you will be buying everything for the first time. Its kind of like one of those deals where you need 8 screws but they make you buy a hundred. My first scratch building has been expensive but the good news is that I have enough left over for several more projects, so amortized over several projects the price comes down. <br /> <br />The other great news is that you realize how easy it is to copy some of the Walther's structures, or take your design from them, once you get even mildly skilled in scratch building. You will make mistakes, but in generaly the mistakes are fairly easy to hide.
