On another note, what are everyone's thoughts about increasing the size
limit on the digests. Currently the list sends out a digest evey 35k or so
which means 2-4 digests per weekday. Increasing the limit would mean less
but larger digests.

Any thoughts?

Five and dime.  I was born in '62; just in time to see one of the last of the 
five and dimes in Hartford, Connecticut still in operation.  I still remember 
the smell of new rubber and tin toys.

I think the strangest behaviour is that people actually build in
1/48th!!!

Well the archive search engine is up and running. Seems to do a search of
all the archives in about 30-45 seconds. Not bad compared to the 5 mins it
used to take.....

Enjoy!

Hi Even,

I'm glad to hear you decided to join our list. It is also pleasing to hear
of your interest in Central Powers aircraft. You forgot to mention the scale
in which you build.

I think you will find a lot of other members of the list (myself included)
share your interest in Russian armor too.

Unfortunately I can't help answer your questions.

Have a good one!

Brent

Gentlemen,

As a new member of the list I would like to say hello to all!
Now that the courtesies are out of the way let me get down to business.
After a six year break from model making I recently started building again. 
In the past I exclusively built Russian armour, but from some reason WW1 
aeroplanes have now caught my fancy and I have put my armour kits away into 
storage.
I have decided that I will be building only Central Power aircraft. There is

a tonne of stuff on Austria-Hungary, and I have managed to uncover quite a 
bit of stuff on the Ottoman Airforce, but I have been unable to find 
anything on the Bulgarians other than what their national markings consisted

of.
Does anyone out there have any information on Bulgarian markings 
specifically camouflage schemes, and unit insignias. Also, can anyone tell 
me the types of aircraft employed by the Bulgarians? I know that their 
airforce was exclusively supplied with German kit, but what were the models?
>From my preliminary research I have discovered that the Bulgarians, like
the 
Austro-Hungarians, used the Cross Patée as their national marking. 
Apparently they also painted a green strip along the trailing edge of the 
wing to differentiate their aeroplanes from the German ones.
Can anyone corroborate this information?

Regards,

Evan

Gah! silly me to open up this can of worms....I meant any strange
behavior with the search engines silly!

I'd have to put myself at the top of the list for running this asylum if
I had to list ALL strange behavior.

Howdy!

I received my mint, perfect condition 1/24 scale Albatros D.V yesterday. The
lady I purchased it from didn't know decals were supposed to be in there. Oh
well. It looks like this is going to be quite a challenge, but it will look
great with the 1/28 D.VII. I'm going to have to invest in some more of
Eric's detail bits. The 1/24 white metal machine guns aren't going to cut
it. The rest looks pretty good. The tail surfaces look as if they will be a
little thick, but we'll have to wait and see.

I'm thinking I could actually cover this with wood. Real thin bass wood?

Later!

Strange behaviour is dangling outside an inverted Martynside hanging from an

So, I've not been strange in all my life. So far.

Lucky sod!

    I guess that I'll have to scratch my 1/28 Alb.DVa (in the future!).

I must respectfully disagree, here.  The glass part of the jar might be well made, but I cannot stand the cheap lids Testors and Floquil/PollyS /Pollyscale paints use, and I have yet to find a Tamiya paint jar that even seals, once it has been opened the first time.

With the afore mentioned paint jars, I have found that if the jar lid has one speck of paint on it, or the rim has any, the lid and seal will stick, rip, disintegrate, whatever.  And then efforts to remove the lid end up totally destroying it, unless the trick of turning it upside-down and running some turpentine in the threads area works.  Usually, it take forever to work when it does. 

I clean my Humbrol paint tin lids, use an old pair of tweezers to pry them open (they are old curved tweezers I had from a jr. high dissection kit, with one broken tine - they fit and give me a multipoint lift, so the lid doesn't bend), and throw out very few colors for drying out on me (usually black or white because of the number of times they are opened for a spot here or a dash there).  I've started using the empties for my mixtures, since I can wipe them out with a thinner-damp paper towel, scrape off any dabs of hardened paint, and I',m in business.

The oldest paint I had was a tin of 'Brown Bess' dark walnut Humbrol that I bought when they were $0.45 a tin in the early seventies.  I *used* the last bit of the tin last summer.  My current oldest is some 'Airframe Silver' from twenty years ago.  The ones that last tend to form sticky spills on the rim, the ones that dry out the quickest tend to form grainy spills.

For airbrushing, I use about 60% paint, 40 % thinners, then adjust based on my first spray of the mixture.  I like to use the Floquil thinner (which I think is the best monetary deal for hobby thinners) or Grumbacher 'White Spirits of Turpentine' for the free-hand mottling work (The turpentine gives a less runny mixture with less overspray, in my experience, when thinned down, but it does get a bit expensive)  DO NOT use Liquitex turpentines or Grummtine turpentine replacement - they don't seem compatible with Humbrols.

I hate Tamiya's jars and their paints, in general, though I do like the low fat profile for use on my workbench.  The lids just never seem to seal and the paints seem to thicken up quickly.  The original Testors Model Master paint formulation was bad about that, too.

Humbrols just seem to have the best overall combination of mixing, brushing, airbrushing, and longevity properties of any of the hobby paints, with next being the old little jar Testors - the glossy ones that used to cost me ten cents a jar and they last and last.

I've successfully reconstituted dried paints by putting in the approprate 
solvent/thinner:
ispopropyl alcohol for Tamiya
mineral spirits for oil base
I haven't tried a water base yet.
Let the jar just sit for a few days or months for a bad case.  You should be 
all set after that.  If you need your dried paint right away you'll have to 
mortar and pestle it into tiny granules or a powder and then put in your 
solvent.

For stuck lids I let my very hot tap water run over the lid and then open 
with my hand shielded by a rag.  Works like a charm.  (I keep the water 
heater in the basement to its highest setting.)

One idea I like, and do from time to time, is use "saran wrap" (or
"cling wrap") between the jar and the lid.  Works extremely well, but
you end up having to replace the "wrap" almost everytime you open the
bottle.

Hey Jack,
 Would the wire sold by Small Parts Inc. be strong enough? It would cost
alot less that drill bits!

I have been using alumin(i)um foil.  I replace it every time, but it doesn't seem to solve the Tamiya jar problem (I mainly use their clear colors).  Maybe the Saran wrap would do better,  there, I'll have to try.  Foil works great for the Floquils, Testors, and PollyScales, but I wish they used a better quality jar lid and cap liner.  The ones they use seem to be intended to dissolve from the paint fumes once the 'factory seal' is gone south.

What about straight pins??
With SWMBO's interest in sewing and quilting I find pins in the most
unlikely places . . .sometimes with painful consequences.
I've used sections of those in the past for anchor points as well as the
slight smaller diameter pins manufacturers like to use on new dress shirts.
. . .I pulled 15 from the latest one. Talk about overkill.

I've also used those little waxy blobs on the end of those shirt pins for
the knobs on various cockpit levers etc.

(remember what I said about you know 'you're a modeler when when everything
has a modeling application. . . . Last week my mother caught me looking at
a miniature kitchen strainer she had. I had to explain I was eying the fine
metal mesh for use on a kit. She vowed grevious bodily harm if she ever
found small sections cut from her precious tea strainer ;-)

Howdy!

I've been waiting on the final two checks. I decided to spot them the cash
(it ain't much) and purchase the bank draft on Monday. It will also be
mailed Monday.

My apologies for not keeping everyone up to date. I have been emailing
people as their checks arrived. I'm sorry for overlooking you Courtney. I
did receive your check. Has everyone else who mailed me a check received an
email of confirmation?

Further updates as events warrant!
