In Reply to: What is pulled sprue and other questions that rookies might like to know? posted by scott kring on July 25, 1999 at 03:21:24:
Scott,
I suggest you download the zipped text files of the tutorial (see the link on the starting page of the site). In 03TIPS.TXT the "pulled sprue" is explained in detail (the sprue is that frame-like plastic thing from which you clip off the various parts of the kit).
As to posting the guide as a HTML document: it's HUGE, about 270 pages, with pictures, drawings, etc. It's highly unlikely, anyone would prefer sitting in front of a computer connected to the Internet, reading the guide while holding a sanding block in one hand, and a half-finished plastic part in the other :-)
The new and improved Titanic will not contain any brass parts, so you'll still need the GMM parts and you'll still need to make modifications and improvements if you want to build a historically correct model, but it will be much easier to do.
Hope this helps.
why didn't you just post this guide like you did Roy Mengot's ? If we order the new improved Titanic do we still need all those Gold Metal parts and if not which one can we do without now?
