Thanks Matt, several folks offered help which I thought was very nice and very appreciated. One fellow didn’t like Cyber Hobby though and only offered unsolicited opinions, oh well. 
Unfortunately we have no hobby store in this town, none, zip, can you believe that! I think from now on I’ll try the model building community first. The Internet now supplies almost everything I need for my hobby, thank goodness for sites like Armorama.
