If you live in Sydney & it's environs, or just visiting on the day, please feel free to attend. Hopefully Volker will be around ;-). Check out the site for more details. Speaking of which - it's been updated today with a bunch of models from APMA member Ian Wrenford, including his "APMA AGM Model of the Year" from 2000 & some ot/golden age planes. Also, check out the new member offer as well.

My first introduction to OT. Unfortunately for my son both his parents are Lotr's types so he had that book as his bedtime story when he was five, literally the whoile year ;). (The Hobbit was when he was younger). Now he's nine and has a bedside reading lamp and we have a rule he can fall asleep in bed if he is reading. Little guy figured out he gets to stay up later that way and it encourages reading. Its amazing since we made that rule he has really taken to reading.

Recently I finished an Academy camel -just for the sake of completion- that was the first OT kit I did when I returned to the hobby about 6 years ago. The wings have overemphasized rib stations and the stitching is enormous. The tailkplanes are crude. The wheels are too little. What else? I don't have the pertinent datafile (yet!) so I can't compare to reliable drawings.

Inquiring minds would like to know. D. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 16:38:29 -0300 From: "dfernet0" To: "WW1 modeling Mail List" Subject: A friend from Germany Message-ID: <030201c07b3c$e8dc9bc0$4640a8c0@ssp.salud.rosario.gov.ar> Me again......... A friend from Germany, Kai Schumacher, is building an Antoinette from AJP models. As some comment shave surfaced on the list regarding these models, i tought that it would be fitting to quote his words about his model: "I've been interested in Flight for a long time, building hundreds of Airfix and Revell 1:72 kits in my youth and reading all kinds of books. Maybe that's because my father had been an engineer at the 'Junkers Werke' in Dessau, Germany and certainly had a lot to tell and even more photos. After all this time I did not do any modelling for 15 years or so. At the time being I'm most interested in the very early aeroplanes till the end of WW1. Having tried to build a scale model of an early Etrich 'Taube' 1:32 from scratch some 15 years ago I gave up because it was simply impossible to get any plans and I wanted every detail, using original material with no plastic at all. Having this Internet changed the whole situation. Plans, comments and help is available all over the world. I just wanted to know whether a 'Taube' or an 'Antoinette' would nowadays be available as a kit. One of numerous hits sent me to a homepage ('Semad models' http://www.hostl.com/model/ ) in Belgium, selling not only models of a 'Taube' and an 'Antoinette' but even more 'avions' called 'Les vieux bois' and 'Les Vétérans 14-18' in a scale of 1:48 with beautiful photos and made of photo-etched brass. The photo of a ready-built Antoinette was enough to immediately order this one, even if it was much too expensive (or so I thought). After taking some hurdles concerning payment (international money transfer still seems to take place in the stone age) I received a very small package which confused me a bit - wingspan of this 'Antoinette' should be a 30 centimetres ??? There is no hint of a manufacturer (probably removed by 'Semad'? ;-), but it's obviously from France and there's a handpainted flying 'Antoinette' on the package. OK, opening the package I found: Two photo-etched 'pages' (very thin brass indeed) with a hundred parts wrapped in paper (paper for the wings), two small packages with various parts of rubber (radiator hoses, tyres), wood (mahagonny for the 'bow'), brass (pipes, tanks etc.), wire, zinc-metal (engine) and one wire-enforced plastic part being the 'landing gear' (I'll change that, originally bamboo I think) and a +-good manual with a detailed photo of a Levavasseur 8-cyl. engine of the 'Antoinette' to refine the cast zinc 'engine'. Don't look down upon the scale of 1:48, those parts are TINY !!! (e.g. the propeller is made of 6 or more parts...) What I did was to scan the photo-etched brass as *.tif files for reference or rebuilding later in a bigger scale. There are photo-etched numbers next to the photo-etched parts, so finding is easy. First thing to build following instruction are the wings, or one to be exact ;-). No brass planes, you have some 30 ribs, some wire, paper and a manual, but it is not too difficult: You have to bend up the ribs from it's frame, distances are then as they should be. Next you have to apply some steel wire through nose and end holes of the ribs (widen if necessary or use thinner wire), which makes the whole thing sturdy after glueing with cyanacrylate. Next glue some 6 brass-'linings' parallel to the steel wires on top and under the ribs which makes the whole thing look like a wing-like cage. At this stage you cut the whole thing out from it's supporting frame. I'm currently at this stage and I wonder whether to really cover this beautiful-looking construction ?? You have to see this to believe how fragile it looks, but it is very stiff and sturdy at the same time. Following the manual next to do is to wrap the wing with copper wire in a spiral, letting two millimetres between the wire, apply some CA on front and end tips of the ribs to fix the copper wire. Apart from the ribs, some more small parallel lines can also be seen on contemporary photos: Does anybody know whether those 'lines' originally are smaller ribs or really some 'rigging' ?? All for now, waiting for answers (please!!) Greetings from Göttingen, Germany Kai" I lured Kai to become a list member, since he's still unsubscribed. His personal addres is kai_schumacher@gmx.de and he'llbe very grateful if someone can help him.
