It included twenty customizable mechanical models on disk, as well as the supplies necessary to complete each project. The models were created by Jim Calhoun,, and Michelle McBride.

It worked, but it took an entire day just to capture a single page.

The files preserved here are the default printouts created by the program. (All the decal options are represented.) They are saved as bitmaps, and can easily be altered, even colorized, in many image editing applications!

The model parts are bitmaps rather than jpegs because I didn’t want to lose any detail; if this is an issue, please let me know. Want to Share Your Toy Shop Experiences? Hp Scanjet G2410 there.
