Title: Drafting Film
Post by: rickles23 on June 17, 2012, 03:18:56 pm: Hi,

Is there a substitute for drafting film?

I can get the drafting film but I have to buy a whole roll.

I only need about an A4 size piece.

Regards

That to me is what modelling is all about. I do the same with my research.

If anybody needs something and I can help it is no trouble to send it to them.

A another good example to follow Neils:

I needed to purchase an old magazine from Ostend and the seller did not have Paypal. An email to a friend in Ostend and he paid for it.

I then sent the purchase price in Aus$ to my friend and he emailed back that I had sent too much but he used the rest to buy a couple of beers.

Result? Everyone wins and is happy.

regards

Just bear with me if I keep asking who you are but its a problem with my medication. Sometimes the long term memory is ok but at the moment it seems that I only have short term memory.
