However, if you are looking for something cheap you are out of luck. There is nothing cheap about scratch building a model (materials or equipment) so sounds like you need to start saving your money. Good Luck

Thanks! Like a true craftsman, I don`t settle for cheap. I will be sure to take your advice!
