     Am still sitting on enough stuff to make a lot of other stuff for this NG if the interest ever surfaces. But....I *really* need those of you who got my original kits to please fly them and post the results here. Any small kit maker NEEDS word of mouth in a niche market such as this....just ask Rob or Doug! Even negative responces^[sic] are helpful as they enable the kitter to see what hes^[sic] doing wrong and correct it.

     I don't do kits very often, but do have a couple in my stash that really appealed. I have never run out of thread though. Funnily enough I think I am doing my first kit in absolute ages and I think it may very well be by the kitter you are talking about.

     Except that every other f-16 kitter--including garage outfits like Hasegawa--manage to mold it in one piece, no line.

     AAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!! My cat decided to use my Elfquest Graffikk Novels as the appropriate place to mark his territory!!!! Fortunately I only had to wipe kitter piddle off the spines, but still, they're soft-cover and now quite scented... and to think, here I am forcing my sig other to read the things (think I can addict him?), so I hand him these four beat-up relics from my pre-teenhood covered in kitter piss.

     Hello...my daughter has recently gotten a new pet bunny and would like it and our three kitters who we live with to become FRIENDS. Two of our kitter buddies are the same color as the bunbun and have all three think the bunnie is just fascinating while in his crate. I have let the bunnie run around the house when the kitters retire for siesta time but they seem to think it's not very nice to close the door on any room, especially since they KNOW that the bunbun is running free. Anyone have any ideas of introduction, reassurances that the kitters won't eat the little bunnie?
