Hello Modelers!
As you know, I am new to this. I actually haven’t even started my first model yet, but I have 6 kits in the waiting (thank you, ModelCrazy [:D] )
I’m back into artsy-fartsy mode and in deperate need of some sprue for a small mixed media project (yes, it’s for a gift). I could use a couple of handfuls or a sandwich sized zip bag. I’m in the Frisco, Texas area. I know everyone is crazy busy - a porch pick up would be wonderful! Please message me with details…
Thanks in advance!
Are you looking for empty sprue trees? I have a box full and would be happy to send some your way.
My email is lew3055@gmail.com so you can send me your address on that.

please resend. didn’t see it. Not sure why.
That’s interesting, and a bit of a coincidence. There’s another forum member here, captfue is his handle, who uses sprues to make blanks for sculpting into figures. He melts the plastic in an old pan, till it’s just soft enough to mash together and make blanks. You should search the forum; you can find his build threads and see the figures he sculpts.
Ok…I’ll check it out. Thanks!
In a pinch, you could also take some sprue from the models you’ve got waiting… As long as you go for the long straight parts it shouldn’t do no harm… As soon as you finish your second or third model, you will have too much of this stuff, anyway.
Good luck with your models and have a nice day

[:D] Thanks Pawel…I wondered about that! I’m needing ‘bits and pieces’ - leftovers, broken parts etc. as well.
Nothing like some good old spruefruit.
Her boyfriend, me, is too busy rebuilding a house to look for his spares box [:$]…if I could find it.
I’ll have to look for it tonight after work.
Question?
How far from New Braunfels is Frisco? The reason I ask. I have lots of sprue. I use it for making Sprue glue and I get it from two sources, Model train Stuff and Regular model stuff!
It’s a little over 5 hours each way…thank you anyway!

Good luck with your projects: Tony
WOWZERS - that’s much more ambitious than anything I am doing! Thanks for showing me your work…I am inspired 
Here is a crazy sprue-related project from Japan!
Hi, Tony! I thought you were still “captfue”. Did you have to create a new login?
Yes I had to change a year or so ago. FSM wouldn’t let me sign in as Captfue. I figured srueman was closer to what I do.
