So, I generally order as many items as I can to get to the $25.<br />So three of the $9 planes will be $27 and that includes the postage.<br />The material is made from a liquid that is solidified by laser(s) and that is the model you see. It paints and glues like resin. However up to now it has NOT been able to make a smooth shiny surface and requires sanding to get this.pbhawkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18429942020756158722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20128243.post-34279286028970803602011-06-08T03:16:11.412+00:002011-06-08T03:16:11.412+00:00It's still a ridiculous contingency whether yo...It's still a ridiculous contingency whether you buy other items or just pay shipping that you have to spend 25.00 to buy their "item"; so it's not a "kit".<br />Whatever.
