As the literacy rate declines, you’ll ask yourself why the quality of life continues to deteriorate in ways large and small, and in almost every instance the answer will be: because people stopped reading.

Haven't used any of their stuff, primarily because I didn't know they existed. I have a few ancient airplane kits and some vacu-form stuff that this might have been handy on, but at this point, they're unlikely to ever hit the workbench.

Sigh...

I did not learn about them until a few years ago - tried out a few things that I thought were really quite good - rivets for on tank cars, for example.

The original owner of Archer closed shop when he retired but in 2023 it reopened under new owners.
