I would guess so, but I've never seen a flat pack in the flesh myself so
I can't say.
Aside from one of my databooks that has pictures on the cover, I can't say I
have either, though it's possible that I did and forgot. There were times
early on when I was starting to get to know that stuff that I momentarily
considered the possibility of using some of it, and I decided pretty quick
that it just flat-out wasn't worth the hassle.
