I've got the Space Twins plans, plus a bunch of others I received directly from Estes when I was a kid. I never built that one, but it would be fun.
Regarding Goodwill, pretty true regarding good finds. But I buy old pants for a couple bucks to wear while working in the shop. Glue, wood stains, varnish? No worries! Throw them away when they get really bad. I'm sure my wife appreciates that I change out of them when we leave the house and go out in public.
