I like Scale Dreams, they carry some supply items and have super fast service. PSF Hobbies carries more modeling supply stuff and is great to deal with as well. Bob

Nice lathe work as always Mark! Any chance we'll see you vending at the NNL East? Bob

Hardware stores (if you can still find one) carry spring assortments that they'll let you paw through. And they're cheap too. You can sometimes get a longer one and make 2 out of it. Also look at ball point pens, many have perfect model car springs in them. Bob

I like the hot tap water method. You might want to wear dishwashing gloves though. I let the water run over the section with the problem, twist the body beyond where it should be and rinse it off with cold water. It might take a couple of tries, but it has always worked for me. I don't like to immerse the whole body as some of the thin sections may permanently deform. Bob

I'm looking for a couple of Contest Annuals. Is there a way to buy them online or when are they expected to be available in book stores and news stands? Thanks, Bob
