My first set was only available through the online store on my web site, but it
is no longer available. It came with rudimentary instructions made using a
digital camera, as my Mac is not L-Draw compatable. (We're buying 2 PC's for
my company this month and I will resume making customs sets available as soon
as I have L-Draw instructions)

Yes, I agree that the time has more than come for customs sets produced by
fellow enthusiasts. It is a difficult endeavor, as you must know, because we
must buy the parts from sets at retail and try to keep the whol thing
affordable. Thanks to a lot of requests, I am working on a "for sale" kit of
my WW2 Corsair model, which I am redesigning to make using only readibly
available parts, as you have done...

OK then... watch for a posting in a few days of huge 4-8-8-4 locomotive I built
over the weekend. I'm taking pictures of it tomorrow and hope to have them
posted to my site by tomorrow evening.
