Re: Tank Kits

[Gordon Rapson <gord.r-at-shaw.ca>]

Hi Garnet
Nice to see another Canuck in the group. Maybe some day well invade the
states ;)
I own a ShopBot CNC system and would be interested in working together to
the benefit of all.
Lets talk more and see what we can come up with. We here in the boonies need
all the help we can get, we don't even have a hobby store here let alone any
surplus stores, so anyone out there that can work with us on purchasing
parts for us would be appreciated as a lot of suppliers wont ship to us.

Keep in touch,
Gord
