Well, let me reprase that because I have a garage full of vacs I've collected (some of which belong to SP). Are they rare and worth lots of money? I'd say yes and no. I haven't run across that company name before, but most vacs aren't worth postage these days. I'd say the exceptions are the larger Contrail kits, such as the Bear or the Staaken. Even the cool flying boats are getting spendy. Build them or just fondle them. Enjoy them for what they are. Have a good one! Brent -----Original Message----- From: Karen Rychlewski [mailto:krychski@earthlink.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2001 1:34 PM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Albatros C.XV contest results Well guys, FWIW, looks like I stumped the experts. The 'company' was D&R, and they did the Albatros C.XV, the Sopwith Dolphin, and the Hansa-Brandenburg W.29 in 1/48. Each plastic bag (the bags were the thickness of recycled dry cleaning plastic) had two vacformed sheets of the basic parts for each plane and a single piece of paper with a 3-view drawing. No resin, PE, decals, metal, or strut material; no copyright date or address. Written in pen on each was a price of $10.00; I don't have a clue where I got them, but they've been in the vault at least ten/twelve years. Since all three planes have now been kitted in various scales, I'm willing to part with these--but, does anyone know? do I have some collector's items here? sure would be nice to pay for all the kits and parts I've ordered recently... Sopwith Pup photos will be in the gallery by week's end.

My opinion is colored by time constriants. My modeling time is heavily restricted by the needs of my family and my work. To me it makes more sense to spend $40-$50 for this tool than to spend a couple hours in the shop. I have more money than time. Have a good one!

The first profession that I learend was welder, which means that I had to learn to process metals, hence I did not only learn to melt and weld metals but also learned to work with drilling machines, metal saws and such. And indeed I learned to craft machine parts by hand, using files and hand saws etc. To me the folding tool is a great idea but it looks so simple that you can easily handcraft it. You have one base which is fitted with two taps and a screw thread to fix the holding plate with he four grooves in it. The grooves can be easily done with a grinder or with a drill a saw and a file. All the rest is file work too, except but for the ballshaped handle which can be bought anywhere. If you can build topclass models - which is what the members on this list do - then you also can save you a lot of money and build such a little tool - IMHO. cheers ;o) Gaston Graf (ggraf@vo.lu) Meet the Royal Prussian Fighter Squadron 2 "Boelcke" at: http://www.jastaboelcke.de > -----Original Message----- > From: wwi@wwi-models.org [mailto:wwi@wwi-models.org]On Behalf Of Brent > Theobald > Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2001 8:09 PM > To: Multiple recipients of list > Subject: RE: photo etch tool - "Hold & Fold" > > > Gaston, > > I don't know if we are talking about the same thing.

I try to work in some sort of common factor, such as the same kit like the Pfalz build and the current SE 5A build (only two) or similar paint schemes, such as the Morane build and the upcoming Sopwith build. I may also do an armored car if I have paint/glue drying on all the projects I have going. Right now, I'm letting the interplane strut joins cure on my SE 5As. That means I'll have some time to put together a Reviresco Austin armored car tonight. Same goes for clear coats. I'll find a quick project to do while letting clear coats cure for a couple of days. That keeps my hot little fingers (and their fingerprints) off my projects.

Basically, I am compulsive, so I have to be messing about with something. If I have only one kit, I'll try to do things like work on it when the Future, glue or paint hasn't dried yet. Of course, if you can do similar kits, that saves time too. E.g. I did those little off-topic Soviet trucks at the same time; they had identical chassis and paint colours etc. Michael _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2001 14:11:27 -0600 From: Brent Theobald To: "'wwi@wwi-models.org'" Subject: RE: Building two or more kits at once Message-ID: <4B9386E83999D411997100508BAF206A01608DDB@stamail.telecom.sna.samsung.com> Howdy!

The last 2 kits I finished, I ended up using part from another kit to "help"...the SE5a from Lindberg and the Nie. 28 from Glencoe. I find that I look at the Blue Max kits and decide I won't do them, but borrow a few nice fiddly-bits to jazz up the other kits. Pretty expensive way to upgrade, however!.

Anyway, I've used the tape to the south window method before and it works great on the yellow. Just be sure to leave some space between the window and the decal so it doesn't stick. I just looped some masking tape and opened up the loop after attaching to the window. The white turned out perfect for an Ansalda SVA I did a few years ago. You might need to shoot the decals with some spray..either gloss or flat, I never remember which...in case the decal gets too dry.

John Roll? No? How about Mark Copeland? No? How about Steve Hustad? Just remember... Guns don't kill people. Postal employees kill people. Later!

It has a heavy cable running through it which is securely attached to the aircraft frame. I was advised by one of the staff that it is the third "Snoopy", the first two being taken by bold and ingenious visitors. FWIW, Mike K.

Basically, I am compulsive, so I have to be messing about with something. If I have only one kit, I'll try to do things like work on it when the Future, glue or paint hasn't dried yet. Of course, if you can do similar kits, that saves time too. >> My single excursion into multiple kit building was when I made an entire squadron of Nieuport 28s. The strange thing is that it really didn't seem to take much longer than if I had only been building one. Heck, the individual models probably turned out better because I wasn't compulsively fiddling around on the just a single.
