I have an old JV Models (otherwise known as John Rendall) Ward's Salvage kit. It has been opened and parts are missing. I am not worried about the parts as I have a decent stock of bits and pieces and stripwod. However I have no instructions or drawings. Would anyone happen to have a set that they could scan or copy. I have tried contacting JV Models by email but no luck. I might have to resort to old fashioned snail mail. If anyone could help I would sure appreciate it and could reimburse you for any costs incurred.

I have been trying to find hydrocal plaster in my area and no one seems to carry it. Tried hobby stores and hardware stores and home improvement stores. 

I want to take a shot at creating my own plaster buildings and wondering if there is a decent subsitute for it? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jack

In the near future I'll be kitbashing the Walter's "Gas Plant" into Palmer Abestos. I believe it will possible to see through the window up to the underside of the flat roof and I'd like to have roof trusses to add realism. I could scratch build some, but I wondering if trusses are available as a detail item from a supplier. I've searched and haven't found any. I could tap my friend Michael to laser cut some for me, but I would have to sketch them up which would take me longer than building them myself. Any help will be appreciated.

I built one of the static grass applicators using a Harbor Freight bug zapper as explained in MRH. The electrical charge is going through because I got "zapped" but the Kibri grass I am using won't stand up. My question, "Is the static grass used by the Noch and other static charge devices made of a material specific to this application?"

I'm wondering if the Kibri grass I am using, which is 25+ years old, is made of a non-static material.
