Pin or hole, either way. A metal pin added by the modeler, while another step, would be "stronger". We are playing here, and sometimes toys break! The +/- 1/16th is a good distance, I think. Gives enough meat for the hole to be drilled into the end, hence a stronger joint. Joe Binish ----- Original Message -----

I do not think a plastic molded would work. No strength. Thank you Larry Jackman Boca Raton FL ljack70117@...
