Albion Alloys / Uschi van der Rosten, purveyor of metal stock for model building and other hobbies. Some of you from the UK and Europe are already familiar with the product line from this company. Here in North America, not so much. The Uschi line has appeared in some local retailers but my first exposure to it was in one of the on-line eStores (Squadron or Sprue Brothers). I have not seen anything of the rest of the Albion product line but we do have similar products available from a company called K&S so we are not without a resource.
I would not have even bothered to post anything of Albion or the Uschi van der Rosten except for this product review at Modellversium that caught my eye:
This apparently is something to be used with the metal tubing to create frame structures and it has a lot of potential for creating things like tent frames or perhaps some space themed subject. The product is called connecto and the product review at Modellversium is in the German language so look at the pictures or run the text through one of the on-line translation programs to further confuse things.
