No FS595 or Methuen here, just an artist's eye for colour and the interplay of light and shade. Obviously I wouldn't paint the model in *quite* the same way, becuse the painting has the light built in; the model doesn't, but I can use the paint to suggest light and dark and texture. >> Thank you very much for the good words!

Remember, this was the age of "add a 55mm plug of balsa wood, suitably shaped" as the primary tool of the kit converter. At any rate, the article does have some interesting detail notes and I will put a copy in my R-1 kit for the day it comes to the top of the pile. What's the procedure now? I photocopy it and mail it to you? I'm ready.

Like little metal fittings for the strut anchors, Maybe some flatend brass tube for the struts. Grandt-Line bolts on the fittings. The cockpit will be a scratch-built affair with a brass tube and rod control column and any other little goodies I can pull off. In short, my next Grand Opus. Of course, I will be pushing the limits of my ability on this and the designs in my head don't always end up being workable on the finished product. So we'll se how it goes.

I was just too lazy to walk downstairs, check the paint bottle, and then walk upstairs to finish typing that message referring to RLM 22 as a good grey-green color for metal parts in German WW1 planes. I couldn't remember what the number was, but '22' popped into my head. Of course the correct reference was RLM 02, but the paint I use is Tamiya XF-22 - the simply named RLM Grey. So, I was half right. THHPPTTT!! Or something. At least I havn't referred to the exhaust manifold on the Le Rhone rotaries. . . Lately. . .

It's part of a series of books dealing with various 20th century eras of infantry. The book portrays several countries and uniform types which are depicted in high quality color photos. The uniforms are originals taken from various collections. IMHO, this book beats *any* Osprey type book hands down. And this is not to say the Osprey books are bad, this book is just *that* good! :-) FWIW, although I agree with Mr.Townsend (I've got this one too), it's perhaps a bit unfair to compare a collector-oriented book of color-photographed genuine uniforms to Osprey's generally hobby-oriented books which get by on good illustrations, b&w photos and data of greater depth. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Apr 1998 08:29:18 -0700 From: Graham Nash To: wwi Subject: [Fwd: Collectors Corner April 1998] Message-ID: <199804140723.AA26072@egate2.citicorp.com> This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------75C86E1A1331 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Thought you might also like to know about the following: --------------75C86E1A1331 Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Received: from egate.citicorp.com (gate.citicorp.com [163.39.250.179]) by magnolia.citicorp.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id OAA01893 for ; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 14:01:58 -0400 (EDT) Received: from atlas.netmatters.co.uk (atlas.netmatters.net) by gate.citicorp.com with SMTP id AA07418 (InterLock SMTP Gateway 3.0 for ); Thu, 9 Apr 1998 14:02:35 -0400 Received: from netmatters.netmatters.co.uk ([195.250.32.74]) by atlas.netmatters.co.uk (Netscape Mail Server v2.02) with SMTP id AAC123; Thu, 9 Apr 1998 18:23:41 +0100 Message-Id: <1.5.4.32.19980409162804.00948dc0@mail.netmatters.co.uk> X-Sender: hg-sales@mail.netmatters.co.uk X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.4 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Date: Thu, 09 Apr 1998 17:28:04 +0100 To: (Recipient list suppressed) From: Nigel Hannant Subject: Collectors Corner April 1998 X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by magnolia.citicorp.com id OAA01893 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-MIME-Autoconverted: from 8bit to quoted-printable by mimosa.citicorp.com id DAA16704 Rare kits for the collector or builder.
