Duckman;
I agree the Count's critiques of Marius A Model's techniques are classics of their type.
His condemnation of Marius' methods for elongating or shortening the products of th Arii Ib is worth the cost of the whole treatise IMHO, and also won him a medal from the Pope for his trouble.
Professor Count Guido Italeri didn't really publish that much - being more a man of action - but what he did still reverberates around the modelling world. His best known work "Against Nature: Vacforming" still affects vacform sales today.
Its just a pity that his fall from grace and death in poverty obscures his earlier great works.......
All the Best

Duckman;
Oh yes, I forgot...injection moulding machines...big...bright...shiny...sleek...should I keep away from them?
We had some at The Institute...we were about to release our own range of AMS Free Models when the Very Very Small Parts Corporation muscled in....

Greeting all: *Since that last posting here the Glencoe Institute fell on hard times and it has recently come to light that the appointed comptroller and treasurer has been charged again with malphesance (bad phesant?)and misappropriation of funds. All in all a tragic story that supposely involved secret cloning and some top secret activity beneath Kenilworth Castle.
My Field Studies in the area of the mating habits of the full breasted coed are progressing nicely and we're starting to get funding for more field trips. Next stop Mardi Gras!

Dear Mr. Lawson,
In regard to your field studies about the mating habits of the full-breasted coed- do you need any lab assistants?
That area of scientific study is of great interest to me, and besides that, I work cheap.

Sorry old man: I would be afraid of introducing an unstable element into a fragile biostudy. But I am open to financial donations. The coeds do tend to feed in frenzy after a session. Luckily there is a Chiles restraunt and a Starbucks in the immediate vicinity.

Dear Mr. Lawson,
I'm all for the advancement of science. Should I make out my check to you, or to your institute? ( donations are tax- deductable, aren't they? )
