Hi Ryan and Ralph I think you both build great models of modern jets. Also good to see this group becoming more active. A question to both of you what scale do you aim for? (1 stud to 1 feet = 1:38 is what I want to use but my models tend to be a (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)

I noticed this part: (URL) And thought it would be great for a lintel on a building window. As I learned here on Lugnet, a lintel is the top part of a window. A part that people quite often use arches for. I'd love these parts in bley, dark bley or (...) (18 years ago, 6-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)
