(and mold it if they need more) Sometimes the model builder will work themselves into a corner, and will take the time to build a special part if needed. Though usually a suitable part can be found.  I've watched Greg Jein and Bill George at work, and they are pretty amazing at coming up with stuff.  I also remember a modelbuilder coming in to the mold shop, and wanted a mold and cast of a milling machine tool bit, because it looked just like a roof ventilator (the round looking ones that spin) that he needed for a model building he was working on.  So don't limit yourself to kit parts - how many pen caps, paper cups, jewlery beads, etc. have been used in various models ? And if all else fails, scratch build it !</blockquote>
