A long shot for the plastic kit modellers here

[lauriematt]

PS,Whaaaat is 'Sprue'? it seems its quite plentiful as one would have offcuts of it

A sprue is part of a feeder/runner system for the material (plastic, steel, aluminium, whatever) to pass along into a cavity mould. So in plastic model kits the producers leave the runner system (commonly referred to as sprues) intact to keep parts seperate.

i know wot you mean!!! like with the old plane model kits...the plastic ' frame ' that all the parts are attached to!

Well thank you one and all for your most supportive and encouraging comments. I got good advise from someone at work.
For now, I shall be soon on my hols, so it can wait 'til I get back.

How long are you 'away' for? I personally can't wait 'til you get back,finish the the 'project' (at warp factor speed,nach) and then show us some pics

I think 'sprue' is a very nice word and I will endeavour to use it in conversation should the opportunity present itself.

PS, I do realise that the chances of using such an obscure though thoroughly nice word will be slim but I shall do my best .
