My best friend LOVES his, after I had invested in a couple of the far
less
versatile blue-green handled beasties, the name of which illudes me. The
Foam Factory 'starter kit' is US$5 less than the comparable Woodland
Scenics, right?
However, I would really like a 'table' model as I also want to do fairly
large pieces. I think Model Mart has 'em, but REALLY pricey...

Oh, right, like I've got a spare US$900 lying round the homestead.
For DYI, Woodland Scenics has the heavy gauge wire.
