Thanks for the help, and THE WEBSITE! I think I'll start with the plaster mold-just in the off chance I screw something up, or a crash. I messed up a windshield on a Pilatus Porter (in a heavy landing) and it's irreplaceable- if I'd had a plaster cast, would have been able to 'pull' a new one! Good insurance policy. I have used the aluminum automotive 'duct' tape which I guess is similar, if not the same as Flite Metal. Also, have some styrene on hand I use for model trains. Think I'll play with some of that and see how it does. Thanks again guys! Bill S.
