After the paint has dried overnight, I paint the part with raw umber artist oils, straight from the tube. Put it on thick. It doesn't matter if it's all clumpy. I then let the raw umber set for about 20 to 30 min. I then take a clean, dry sorta stiff brush and start brushing the raw umber to remove all the excess. I end up with a really nice warm reddish brown leather, with the recesses dark and the raised areas lighter. The oils make for a nice leathery sheen, and the process of removing the excess with a dry brush leaves a texture that resembles the leather grain. Different base colors will yield different results.

Only by the starched moustached English Gentry in HQ ;) In Lt Col Strange's case it appears that he only got upset about camera's when the Australians used service camera's. That being said Maj Williams of 1 Sqn AFC had a BE that he kept as his personal aircraft through 1917 and 1918, that he took for joyrides to do his own aerial photography to add to a personal collection he was sending back to Australia. Much of "Dickie" Williams personal aerial photographic collection started the basis of the AWM's photo collection. This is from Lt Col Strange who had the distinction of commanding 80 Wing which included 2 and 4 Sqn AFC. 2 other of his squadron commanders were Australian too ( Conningham in 92 RAF, and O'Hara-Wood in 43 RAF ). I added three paragraphs around the camera's statement as it is an entertaining read. Beware the 19thC Australian stereotype Strange uses in the text. "On the ground I must admit this same sense of [Australian] initiative proved a source of much trouble to their superiors at times. It was impossible to convince an Australian that a nice piano in a deserted and half looted house was loot if he decided to take care of it temporarily without troubling to find and get permission from the absentee owner. It also might have been insulting to hint at cattle-stealing ancestry [sic 19th C British stereotypes of Australians], but when we others were existing on tinned milk, the Australians always had their own fresh milk from their own two cows and a spare lorry to transport the cows whenever a move had to be made. Moreover, these cows always had calves with great regularity. Of course, it would have been bad form to question thew origin of the new piano, the cows and the calves which they had invited a Wing Commander to see. These accessories meant so much to the amenity of their life on the ground and so the Wing Commander could only let them get away with it, even though he knew it was his pidgeon if anyone raised awkward inquires. Nevertheless, we had our differences of opinion at times. One of them was due to the unofficial use of service cameras, and another time there was the trouble over the bartering of rations with the local inhabitants. No one minds the swapping of a tin of bully beef for a few fresh eggs, of course, but a Wing Commander has to draw the line somewhere when he finds one of his Australian Squadrons running the village grocers shop and general store. Even so, my Australians were discreet enough in they went about their business, so that I might have ignored it it had not been for the inhabitants of the neighbouring villages. When the latter got to hear of the bargains, they turned our place into a sort of fair and market on Sundays, and so I was compelled to put my foot down. I do not want this to be considered a reflection on Australian discipline, which was good - good enough in fact, to ensure the highest efficiency in their work, but it was a different standard of discipline to that in force in our own squadrons. I cannot put down Tom Purdey's remarks about the combat reports sent in by these Australian Squadrons; suffice to say that they were couched in such language which would have shocked the sedate officials of the War Office, but the number of victories they related covered a multitude of sins." cam AFC - http://members.xoom.com/pointcook/ ________________________________________ Get your email at http://www.prontomail.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2000 22:15:17 -0500 From: "Lyle Lamboley" To: Subject: Re: ATTN:PDMODELS DECALS Message-ID: <006901c05f32$c48aad00$86ccd03f@lylelamb> Eric, The decals came today, and they are indeed sooper dooper.

This was to be the first of two F.1s illustrating the schism between the yellows and the greens. I chose to model the yellow cowl version first. After the coat of ModelMaster Chrome Yellow dried, I applied the white decal face. I didn't stand out as good as I thought it would. I attached the cowl to the aircraft and decieded it didn't "look" right. Took the cowl off, painted it dark green and stole a face from another kit. That looks better. I'm firmly in the green camp now. Isn't it great how modeling can help illuminate history's mysteries? Now for the real subject of this post. Now that I've decided NOT to do a yellow cowl version, I have another F.1 kit to model. I'm planning on doing it as Richtofen's mount. Rimell says categoically that no one with a brushload of red paint went near 102/17. From what I can tell, Imrie skirts the issue. The Eduard and Roden instructions offer conflicting red-themed schemes. Would someone be so kind as to give a brief rundown of the various theories?

Anyway just a thought that burst into the space I call a > brain............ I don't know for certain which type of film was most used but present a few disconnected statements on the subject. Various articles in C&CI and elsewhere describe photographic sections at recce/corps units processing plates, printing many copies of the photographs then stripping and recoating the glass plates for re-use. Whilst modern minds may see this simply as an early form of recycling, I suspect that environmental concerns had little to do with it, and that the repeated use of glass plates simply saved on supply logistics - old negatives being of little use anyway Glass plates have considerable advantages over film in large technical cameras - for example the film can be relied on to remain flat across a (for example) 5"x4" or 8"x10" surface without bowing, even in conditions where temperatures vary widely. Of course they're a bunch harder to change than roll film would be, but no more dificult than large format sheet film. I'm guessing that in photos intended for microscopic evaluation the fine quality possible would beat convenience *and* indeed there are plenty of descriptions by pilots of the dificulty of changing plates in gloves and during manouevering. An aside - but possibly at issue. Flexible film of the day was made of cellulose acetate. So was aircraft dope. If rationing and supply became an issue, which would get priority?
