A well detailed interior just needs the application of a few figure painting techniques to finish it off. Shading the cockpit floor and sides and then dry brushing the highlights is a good start. Follow it up with a wash of water colour pencils and you should see some results. You can also try water soluble ink for washes, dampen the brush with a little washing up liquid if applying over oil based paints. For deep shadows and heavy staining I have used Berol finewriter pens afterwards washed over with a damp brush. Hope this helps and that I'm not teaching granny to suck eggs.

Also the foot boards can have mud on them. In fact, with WW1 cockpits, mud and dirt inside the cockpit is the most "weathering," along with a black wash simulating oil, etc. HTH Tom Cleaver ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Sep 1999 17:39:05 +1000 From: Shane Weier To: "'wwi'" Subject: Holiday plans Message-ID: <65C968E11318D311B0BD0060B06865CD475B8F@mimhexch.mim.com.au> Hello all, It's kind of early, but maybe also kind of late to be asking this. Is anyone from the list contemplating coming to Australia next September for the 2000 Olympic Games? I'm curious, because it seems to be an opportunity to meet more list members, especially if they will be doing the same as a number of other international modeller visitors - arriving in Brisbane, doing the tropical tourist bit then going to the Games or vice versa and leaving via Brisbane.

But the guy on the stand was not the head honcho and knew nothing about a release date. Me - I gave up on Glencoe a year or two ago and have been scouring the kit dealers for Aurora DH-4s. Since our transatlantic friends are obsessed by all things kraut, the DH4 usually sells for a reasonable figure - ie 20 or 30 dollars, while people pay stupid prices for the Pfalz and Halberstadt!! The surgical wire chap at Ridgefield Hobby let me have two DH4s just a month or so back. I now have 4 Aurora DH4s and can't wait to get the Pfalz Collection out of the way.

I am aware that the >undersurfaces are CDL. Standard finish depended when it was built and who it was built by. The Air Board would offer a contract for, say 100 Strutters, and various firms would tender for the work. The successful bidder would then build the planes to the standard design but would have a number of idiosyncasies in detail and finish. Depending who built your subject, it could have a plain metal cowling - polished or not, it could have clear varnished plywood panels and PC10 fabric. Or. it could have battleship grey paint onmetal surfaces and sometimes plywood too. Or, it could be painted PC10 overall. It might also have Sopwith logos on a white fin - or Mann-Egerton logos on rear fuselage - or whatever, depending who built it. As usual pictures are the best reference. I may have pics of B2552 somewhere so will have a look. HTH Sandy ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Sep 1999 11:01:51 +0100 From: "Sandy Adam" To: Subject: Re: 1 1/2 Strutter help!

He had a wall full of Aurora kits and I saw more than 2 DH-4s. Jim is friendly and easy to work with. I bought a Gotha for $40 and a mitfull of 1:48 vac kits for $5 each. He is also the one with the surgical wire. I didn't get a DH-4 because I had already gotten the Aurora DH-4 / JN-4 Double barnstormer kit (sans decals & plans) for $10 locally. Has anyone converted either the Aurora or the AMT DH-4 to a Liberty Plane version? If you have, I'd sure like to hear all about it. sp ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 1881 **********************
