Using a handheld plane and some good quality tight grained wood like apple or holly, plane off a roll (with the grain). By setting the bite of the plane very small... veneer that's no thicker than paper can be created. When you remove the rolled up shaving you can steam-iron it to flatten it out. With some sanding and varnish you have REAL scale plywood in 1/48th and damn near as good in 1/72nd. The key is to use good quality wood though. This technique produces AMAZING results for McNarry and I've experimented with it on ship decks.. adapting it to aircraft ought not to be too hard... just more fitting because of the compound curves.

Those expensive cartridges are at risk of snapping when anything other than the dye-sub photo paper is used, (when ALPS says don't use anything for dye-sub except their "officially approved" paper- they pretty much mean it....trust me).Anyway, I have sucessfully printed small decals in this mode- a few experimental things when the cartridges were almost used up. Even with a magnifying glass, no evidence of computer printing is noticable. So far, my experiments have only been on clear decal stock, and it really shows how translucent the dye-sub inks are, but it may do better on white stock. When my current set of carts run low, I may do some more fiddling around. For wood grain though, I may stick with my old method of laborious prismacolor pencils, multiple tinited layers of Future and regular hand painting- it's fun and I enjoy it!

Granted the grain must have been over scale, though so much as on a Sopwith Camel we all recently agreed was bloody good, but the overall effect was pleasing and impressive. I tried it myself for the flatbed of a Ford T pick up I did recently, intending only to print it onto paper and attach with PVA, in the end I just painted it brown, but I'm conviced it would have worked. cheers Peter L ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 03 Apr 2000 08:37:35 GMT From: "Peter Leonard" To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: Jenny pics Message-ID: <20000403083735.68095.qmail@hotmail.com> Looks good to me mate, but what do I know I only build trucks ;) A genleman's aeroplane cheers Peter L ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 03 Apr 2000 01:41:43 -0700 From: "Bob Pearson" To: ww1 mailing list Subject: On the road again Message-ID: <200004030841.BAA19351@mail.rapidnet.net> Greetings all, Well, I hit the road on the start of my little trip to visit various list members and the OTF seminar in a few hours, so I will be switching to digest mode.

I've been looking something similar - mini-mini tube beads. My local model store is also a craft store and has an extensive range of embroidery supplies. While trolling the racks the other day looking for non-modeling stuff that I can shamelessly convert into model supplies, I chanced upon these beads.

Now I see horrible dithering method used by Al ps to print onto the decal film. Small lettering and pure CMYK details are p erfect but wood grain effect would be disastrous. Instead of that I would ad vise special decal film for ink-jet printers and a good ink-jet printer. My Canon BJC-7100 works perfectly with it. Although the printout is a little bi t blended, you won't see any dithering at all. I have prepared OT nose-art o f artistic painted naked girl for Christensen's P-47D and the result is simp le amazing. The only drawback is that the pritout is transparent. But in the case of wood grain you can use solid white decal sheet or (even better) to p aint model panels with demanded lightest background colour before decalling. The decal "starter kit" consisting of five sheets and a spray can with varni sh costs ca. USD 20 and is available at www.paper-paper.com. Tom P.S.: For all those living outside US or Canada.

Has anyone had good luck getting realistic results?" As a monofilament-user, these boomed craft pose a problem for me as well, albeit in the manly scale. Because I want the structural assistance provided by functional rigging, stretched sprue/wire and white glue is not an option. I have not figured out a way to either drill or otherwise provide rigging points in the booms themselves without weakening the whole edifice. I have resorted to looping the thread at the appropriate point, and fixing it in place with CA. But particular care must be taken in planning so that the rigging runs are symetrical from side to side, and any knots must perforce be varied to ensure that starboard and port angles are the same. In the end, the loops and knots are disguised as strut/boom hardware with putty and paint. If the prototype booms were bamboo (as many were), the looped thread can be filled and sanded to look like a bamboo "joint". Not a great solution, admittedly, but if you take a look at my FE2b on Alan's site, the many loops and knots are reasonably well hidden.

Sometime OOB is strict - you can't use decals OOB etc. Other times, they permit home-made seat belts from tape to be used etc. For the most part, you're not allowed to cut things off and reposition them, drill things out, use after-market add-ons, etc. Michael ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 03 Apr 2000 11:43:45 -0500 From: Al Superczynski To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: OOB standards Message-ID: <0gihes0lmsjhd12ck8ttc4v7kimtrrq39k@4ax.com> On Mon, 3 Apr 2000 11:53:50 -0400 (EDT), Otis wrote: >Not having competed in many IPMS contests, what are the standards for an OOB entry?

This is WW2, but to see examples of the real = strength of=20 digicams go to;
