Default RE: Scratch build from plans vs. kit build

Laser Cut,

I have a local counstruction company that builds only huge projects like hospitals, schools, factories, and so on use there huge blue print copy machine make me three copies of my plans. They do them on vellum first and then lay them over the original to check for accuracy and if everything is good they print out the 3 sets of plans. I don't cut my parts because I'm lazy and would rather be building but I like to have several sets of plans so I can keep one in A-1 condition to file and I cut the rest up so I can build each individual section at the same time. This saves me time and I only build Giant Scale WWII Fighters and each section usually has to be modified to be exactly like the real plane. This is time consumming and tedious work.
