Message-ID: The soft spot I have in my head.... er, heart.... for Brent Theobald prompted me to look into Gotha variations last night. The reason there are no good marking alternatives for G.II Gothas is because they only made 10 of the damn things, and they pretty much look alike. If you convert the model to a G.III (engines and ventral gun opening), you have a further 25 models that can be built, and these look pretty boring, too. Or convert it to a G.IV, where there are a LOT of examples. Why would anyone kit the G.II? Eric, why are you kitting the G.III? How hard will I have to work to convert this to a G.IV?

Generally, they let you see the innards of the boxes before buying but if the kit is rare, OOP, and expensive they don't let you tear the shrink wrap. Besides, as most (if not all) the kits here are imported, it's important for the dealer to keep the shrinkwrap intact since the enclosure has the custom stamps that can't be removed before selling the item. Of course, friendly shop owners have one box already opened for the curious guys like me. Modelling isn't the most popular of hobbies down here, so you won't be surprised to find that the places where plastic kits and modelling tools are sold here aren't as big as those I visited in the U.S.A. They have a limited space and they're usually cluttered with boxes and dioramas. I guess I'll never display a diorama in my preferred hobby shop because it is not so good for the displayed models, no matter how careful is the owner. However there's always models from customers displayed. There's a hobby shop in Buenos Aires (Shane if you ever get to visit us that's where I planned a raid to) that has lots and lots of OOP kits and odd ends, but unfortunately the guy who runs it is a very old man and has a place that is so cluttered with merchandise, that he stacked all the ww1 boxes up, up near the ceiling and he can't drag the stair and get you anything you want just for curiosity... You must be certain to buy the kit or he wouldn't risk his weak bones just to satisfy you curiosity! :-( He already knows me and we agreed that I can drag the wooden stair to the shelf and look as much as I want by myself... Since he's certain that I'll walk away from there with at least one kit, he's cool about it. He also has the widest selection of pre-painted lead soldiers that I've seen. Sorry for the long post, but if anyone is around here you know what to expect from the aboriginals. Let me know if you're around and we'll go hunting! :-) D. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Multiple recipients of list Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2001 12:37 PM Subject: Re: RE: Yes, we have no Mr. Surfacer today.

Rgards, John >> Don't start! Unless there really has been a "recent finding" about this, it may have started with a guess I made about the traditional renderings being possibly incorrect. I did a painting like this a few years ago, scratchbuilt a model, and all this was later hashed around on the list.The photos of Baumer's plane show some difference between the "red" of the Jasta 5 trim, and the "red" of Baumer's fuselage. It may lighting, it may a different paint, it could be all manner of textural things, but where the red tail stripe meets the "red" fuselage- something is going on. The red fuselage idea seems to have started with an interview of vonHipple by the late Peter Gray. There are some color notes with the interview, and some airplanes are individually described outright "So-andSo's Albatros was painted in such-and-such a fashion". Not Baumer's. It's just shown in a color-notated profile without the definitive attachment of a direct statement about the colors. That raised my eyebrow. Also, I once read a piece by markings and colors god Ian Huntley where he writes about publishers who asked for his services, and then when a book would be released based on his research, red would've been added to some of the German planes. When he asked why, he was told it was because people expected German machines to have red on them! All this made me question the traditional presentation of Baumer's Albatros. But, by golly, if you've heard anything- I want to hear it! And if it really does turn out to be red after all, then so be it!

"One of my favorites shops was a little store in downtown Mannheim..." Now I find out when I live about 10,000Km of Mannheim! Why didn't I have this info when I lived near the Hertgenwald? Another lost opportunity... My first recollections of visiting a hobby shop date back to England of the 1950's when the inaccessible shelves behind the vendor were lined with Merit kits - all identical boxes, same box art showing the entire product line, with just the name of the enclosed kit on a panel on the box end. We're lucky the hobby survived such dubious marketing techniques. For a relatively small town, we have an adequate if not spectacular hobby shop. The owner is more into RC models and there is a large RC club in the area, so they get preferential treatment in stock. Humbrol is his standard paint line. I have enough kits in the stockpile (about 850) that I wouldn't be much help to him anyway; I've been showing admirable restraint in my purchases in the last while with only three kits bought in the last year. Maybe that will change if I get to the IPMS/USA Nationals in July (looks possible)...

Greetings to Dame Karen from cloudy Arkansas. I too was born at a very early age near Chicago. My family moved to Arkansas in 1962, but I found them again. ;) ken zelnick (married to one of those crazy orientals so I understand Pidgin English, too. And yes she's crazy, look who she married!) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2001 15:07:23 +0100 From: Mark Vaughan-Jackson To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: Toronto Message-ID: >Hey all, > >Is there anybody on this list who lives in and or around Toronto?

She work's in a pub at the stock exchange so i forsee an afternoon of ale and model talk. Alas I don't get up from Newfoundland that often :-( I believe Dave Zulis lives up that way but I think he's unsubbed at present due to an illness in the family. MVJ P.S. shouldn't that be the Hogtown Jasta or mayhap Schwein-Burg Jasta?! ;-) Sorry couldn't resist a little east coast teasing. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2001 13:34:19 EST From: GRBroman@aol.com To: Subject: Re: Yes, we have no Mr. Surfacer today Message-ID: In a message dated Tue, 20 Feb 2001 1:00:10 PM Eastern Standard Time, "David C.

This will probably break your heart, but Mannheim was a great model shop town. There were three nice shops right around the fussganger Platz downtown, plus the shop by the Hauptbahnhof and another really good one on the south side IIRC. The Nurnburger Spielwarenhaus was pretty big, I shopped there in the 70's, 80's and 90's. There was also a really neat military book shop in Rothenburg A.D. Tauber. Most of these I found by looking through teh adverts in Kit and ModellFan magazines, plus the phone books. HobbyModellBau Schmidt was 30 minutes away from my house(Mannheim-Kafertal) in Mutterstadt. Life was good.

That's a thought, we could all bring 2 Albatros kits each and force a split:). I mean, they had a single category for 1/48th scale P-51's and P-47's, and a single category for just 1/48th scale m*##9's! Just think, if you build a variety of WW2 kits rather than just ww1, you'd be able to enter more than just a couple of categories.

Almost remarkably funny. Depending on how it hits you, it is remarkably funny. ~Steve di Giacomo stephendigiacomo@aol.com Stephen, I do remember attending an Army lecture many years ago wherein it was explained to us that the purpose of making war on the enemy was solely to limit or prevent his ability to make war on you or anybody else, and it was really not ones intention to kill or maim anybody. Any death or injury resulting from the war was not intentional but purely incidental,and regrettable. John D.
