It can ruin clothes and curtains. I made figure molds once with refractive clay to make odontological metal parts. I used graphite powder applied with a plastic bottle like those for eye drops, that keep the greasy, sticky substance out of my white silk scarf. Other use of graphite (in small dosis, of course) is to give a metallic sheen on engines and guns. In smaller scales the best applicator is a sharp 6B pencil.

One of the biggest limitations with resin. "It never sleeps." For small parts it's superb, but for large parts - beware! If I were to build something this large I would swap the resin wings for the vac ones in the other kit.

I agree with you Sandy, I just though it would be economical if list-ers discussed via e-mail their intentions on aucitons. This way the person WILLING to pay the higher price could get the item without having to inflate the bidding by competing with fello list members. -Al =============================================================================== Allan Wright Jr. | You fell victim to one of the 'classic' blunders!

I only hope these ridiculous prices don't start invading swap meets and contests. More likely items will not make it to the swap meets if people know they can do so much better on E-bay. With a larger bidding audience, the chance of finding the 1 person willing to overbid on any particular item is much greater. -Al =============================================================================== Allan Wright Jr. | You fell victim to one of the 'classic' blunders!

I think that is called "ringing" - and while I would wholeheartedly agree with what you say, it is actually illegal in the UK at a real auction. God knows what laws apply to a cyber auction. The term comes from dealers forming a private ring - where they agree beforehand that only one bids on behalf of all. They then have a private divvying-up of the spoils afterwards. I would only ask that none of us fall out with each other if they are outbid. There are bound to be some things that will be a holy grail to more than one member at some time or other - and here we can only really expect each to make his own bid. There are a number of members of this list who have been extremely helpful to me personally and I would do all I can not to outbid them - Al for his tireless work, Legs for all his generosity, Sniffy for his help, Charlie, Rio...... sorry if I missed you but you get the idea. So we should probably let people know if we are bidding for something as a "might offer a few bucks for this" bid - or as a white-knuckle, must-get-it-or-die effort. But at the end of the day, you pays your money and you takes your choice.

Nice countryside, but not a lot of model shops. Anyway, I'm more interested in the history of the planes than in the models, even if I was a big model builder some years ago (I'm 41). I even sold models (mail order) some 10 years ago, under the trade name of Mannock ! I used to buy models in England (Hannant's and others) at wholesale price to sell them in France. But what a lot of work to earn too little money ! I rather like my job of writer and journalist, but I'm still moved when I see a model. It reminds me when I was a child.

I'm brand new to the list but am interested in getting into WWI modeling. I have been an aircraft modeler (mostly) for many years and have lots of experience in WWII stuff, but very little in ragwings. I can see myself asking a lot of questions, at least at first. I have to admit that my major interest is historically based and mainly falls in the RFC/RNAS/RAF area. My favorite aircraft (so far!) is the Sopwith Triplane. Seeing no point in starting off slow, I thought I'd like to get going on the 1/32 Tom's Modelworks Tripe. I have the Datafile on the Tripe as well as one or two other references, including a copy of Raymond Collishaw's autobiography. I think I have doped out ways to do his markings (and I've gotten another Aeroclub Vickers so I can do N533), but I thought I'd ask the list if anyone out there has any experience with this kit and can point out anything I should keep an eye open for? My main interest is in 1/48 scale and I have the Eduard kit as well. If I see enough shocked gasps, I might be persuaded to go for it first, and save the vac-form for later. Any ideas on that? I've seen some of the archives and you folks really go to town! I'm looking forward to joining the flow. Thanks! Hi ho!

I liked the profiles in the article and the well researched text. When I return home from job I'll take another look at it. I planned to build (someday) an Alb DV with the skull in his side. I understand that this particular aircraft was captured by the french army. I wonder what was its final destiny...

You have joined the finest group in the world. Lots of help, lots of knowledge, fine discussions and wild wit. I defer your questions to those who have anguished over and have built your aircrft of choice. Cheers, Bill B. "Satin, Michael N.

May be one of you would help me ?

I'll remember that. As for vac-forms, I have some experience. At least, I'm not afraid of them. I think.

Additionally I have since acquired more photos of French NAS Triplanes that I had told you I would be getting ... When my website returns I plan a page on the Sopwith Triplane and will include these French photos. I'm on my way out right now, but will check your photo again later and let you know where it is from .. .. Is it Peggy? N5483 of No.1(N)Sqn RNAS. . that seems to ring a bell with me. . oh well, I'll check tonight Bob ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Jan 1999 11:53:48 -0700 From: "Satin, Michael N.

I'm sure someone has better info at their fingertips. Nice site, by the way (even if I don't understand French). Any site with a Tripe on the front must be a good one!
