2) Do you know a place, where I can buy a copy of Astounding Tales?

@argonor: That's right. Oisín was the son of the irish hero Fionn Mac Cumhaill, member of the fianna warriors. I think he was some kind of bard.

Do you have a local office supply store? Go there and lok to see what they offer for the sorts of temporary displays, notice boards etc that business use when they want something cheap and disposable. There must be a Danish equivalent!

Howard: Thanks. I just managed to get on the subscribtion list, and now I'm looking forward to read the AT rules  :)

Oisin: Yep, I thought so; wasn't he also the guy who spent some time in Tir n'an Og and returned to Ireland just to fall over dead as he sat foot on the coast (there's somewhat Shang-ri-lah'ish there... hmmm..)? It's been quite a while since I last read some Irish myths. And now I'll stop ranting about this out-of-topic subject.... just can't help it, Celtic myth, music and tradition has been a favourite of mine for many years.

It's shocking to find out that Romania actually has something which is hard to find in the West, when modelling is concerned. Yet in Bucharest I managed to find about a dozen places where you can buy foam core at decent prices (about 2 Euros for a 50x70 cm piece).

You should try near universities that have an architecture section, it is widely used by architecture students.

Thanks!

Actually, lots of stuff is hard to come by in Denmark - I guess it's due to the small size of the country; whole-sale dealers seem to think that it's not worth the effort to start importing goods, if they do not expect a lot of stores to buy it... Then, if you ask in a store, they've hever heard about it, and as they haven't got a clue what you're talking about, they are not that eager to use time and effort checking the availability...

The funny thing is - our (only, I think) architect school is also situated in Århus, if I'm remembering right... Coincidence? Not, methinks.

Americans use foamcore because they don't have access to cork like we Europeans do  :)

I always thought cork isn't good for buildings because of its porous surface... have you sealed the cork plates or came they that smooth?

By the way, matakishi, those computer-mouse anti-grav cars are brilliant! :D

Thanks, I've been lurking since the beginning  8)

I use untreated flooring cork, 3.2mm thick. It has a smooth side and a slightly rough side and isn't porous.

The inner city and WWII articles have the full setails at the start.
