If you had the weights of all the elements, it would be useful to someplace
like Brickbay, where it could be used to automatically calculate shipping
charges based on weight.
(not that i'm suggesting that you weigh out all the pieces or anything.....)

| (...) I have all these parts except (maybe) the side plume. I'll weigh them next time I know no one is going to be in the lab.
