The boards I'm talking about are sanding films glued over what looks like foam cores, there are single, double and even four different grits available on one stick, or single grit sticks, they mostly come in one size, but, there are large, banana shaped and other odd ones available, if you check around. 3M makes some sanding sponges I like a lot, and Micro Mark makes small ones in very fine grits, pricey, but nice.

Similar products, but a bit coarser can be found in car or hardware shops. Other products include a range of soft sanding sticks - both Aeroclub & Squadron do these. You can also buy a triple polisher, which has three fine grades for a really smoth finish. The usual suppliers have these, but you can usually find one cheaper at a chemist/drugstore - they are designed for polishing nails!!

For things like thinning trailing edges, I chuck up the little Dremel sanding discs and whirl away at the fast speed- I've had little problem with melting or distortion. I use a "sketching" techinque- several quick passes. This is for initial removal of large amounts of material- final finishing is always with sanding sticks/sand paper. My files have gradually moved to the back of the tool pile. I've actually learned to sculpt with this thing. I later got a spare battery so I'm never out if power. BTW, when I first got the little monster, I didn't think it looked very durable, but I've given it extremely hard use, and it still stands up. I don't know what they run for now, but I paid about $30 US. RK ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2000 17:27:57 -0500 From: "P.

Well, I crossed over to the very dark side and built an OT Academy Spitfire with my 4 1/2 year old son. And I was amazed at how easy it was to build. It was soo quick, no weird paint scheme, no struts and upper wing and no rigging. OK, my son's standards aren't as high as mine, but I realised I could put together one of these suckers in about 1/5th of the time of an average WWI bipe to the same standard I do my WWI stuff (1/10th of the time if it's a lozenge covered b****rd). And do you know what? That was so tempting I was looking online at OT stuff to buy. But don't worry - I got down my Eduard Dr1 and that saved me - I realise we now have a "quick" option. As to jets, well if your idea of excitement is worrying about subtly different shades of silver, you're probably too dull even to be an accountant....and I know, because I am one (an accountant that is, not a jet).

As regards nothing but different shades of silver (btw, I defy anyone to say that doing a multi-hue NMF finish is easier than *any* WW1 finish - or at least to say so knowing what they're talking about), there are many other colors, camouflage, etc., and the NMF birds mostly had some very colorful markings. And a "simple" airframe with an NMF finish is much more unforgiving of modeling flaws and boo-boos than a biplane covered in lozenge and a bird cage of rigging, because there is less "eye candy" to distract on from the mistakes. I personally think this attitude of "we're so much better because we do biplanes" is as distasteful as the attitude of the nudniks who carry on ad nauseam about the wonders of F-W and One-Oh thingies, etc. Tom Cleaver ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2000 18:31:42 -0700 From: Mike Kavanaugh To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: New Kit Survey Message-ID: <399B407E.CE51C9B0@earthlink.net> DB, VAMP is listing the Salmson 2A2 by Artur resin in 1/48 for, I think, $14.80.

As some listees know there was a time when I produced 1/48 resin kits under the name Waldo. The reason I stopped was because I found that I could not produce them to a quality I was happy with. My masters were okay, but hand pouring resin from a plastic cup in the garden shed did not produce castings of acceptable standard. I produced two successful kits, a Britol MIC and a HB29, and two more in test shot form, a Dolphin and a F2B, never got into production. There was also a set of Bristol Scout C masters, and these were passed on to a freind who thought he might be able to do something with them. He in turn passed them onto a manufacturer who has contacted me to tell me that he hopes to send me some test shots by Christmas and be in production early in the new year. I am also asked if I can re-tread my MIC masters, but I have a feeling they may be redundant soon. I really just posted the question to test the water, but the kit is coming along whether or not.

Ceramcoat and glass Testors tested best with only a little fading. Humbrol red was 95% gone. The sample looked more like a light jelly stain. Same with blue. I realize most of us don't expose our models to direct sunlight, but I do use a lot of craft acrylic and model paint in my other gig as a painter and illustrator, so maybe these things have a bit more importance to me. I did at one time use some Humbrol colors in my work, but I noticed their deterioration, even under several coats of sealer and varnish. The absolute best has been those lil ol' Testors bottles. They've stood up as well as fine grade "artist oils". It's all a real pity too, because Humbrol is so nice to work with.
