Default RE: Scratch build from plans vs. kit build

Yea, I thought about taking the plans to Kinkos and having a deep discussion with the manager about size reproduction acuracy. Also thought about tracing the plan parts on clear acetate, cutting the acetate, then again tracing the final onto the wood. But that seems like a lot of trouble and I'm sure I'll loose some line resolution in the process. The cheapest and simplist way seems to be to destroy the plans as you build...[]guarenteed acurate, though, as long as you're good with an exacto blade and jigsaw.
