Scrimper arrested in pound shop.

Ah that made you look !! well more goodies have been discovered in local pound shops,looking for thin strips of bamboo cane ? well look no further than your pound shop where cheap Chinese blinds give you enough material to last for years,you just run a craft knife through the strips and you will be rewarded with consistant strips of bamboo.Once available in model shops throughout the land but no longer considered a viable thing to stock these high tech days.
Dont forget to checkout those useful little gadgets used for marking out the corners of carpets etc,you push scores of metal prongs from the tool and it forms into tricky shapes,ideal for making up formers into fuselage shells of models,and indespensible when making vac-forms.
