Rightclick on a video, then choose "save target as". I did not save the videos because I am not a friend of the aggressive marketing strategie of the RealPlayer company, hence I do not have that player installed. But RealPlayer has got nothing to do with MS. 2) Where they took their pics from is not my problem. I don't have nor want to have control over other peoples work. Shall I search the web to find all the pics at other sites only to control if this site is stealing or not, worth to be added to my links page or not? 3) Did you send your unfriendly critics to them personally? I hope so! 4) What do you mean with giving MS your email if joining that webmasters organization (your other message)? What has MS got to do with that site? I do not understand, really. Damn - I fell really bad about the list lately. First I cannot post any tips regarding Windows PCs anymore without attracting remarks of MAC users, and now I cannot post a link anymore without earning such unfriendly comments. Bah - I guess it would be better to unsub for a while. bye!

My impression was of very slightly raised ribs, due to rib tapes amd stitches, just like Jim says. My two 0.02 SEK. /Neil Jim wrote: Shane mentioned: "Raised ribs under wings is another.

I'll have to go look in the shoe box, but I think I made raised ribs on the underside of the elevator for my Salmson. And if you hadn't said anything, I might have done the same on the main wings. HOWEVER, wouldn't there still be TAPE strips on the underside, similar to the topside? Extremely thin perhaps, but something rather than nothing? And on a large scale model , like 1:12, wouldn't there even be stitch bumps? Jim ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 08 Apr 2001 15:20:59 -0500 From: "Jay M.

I didn't mention the lower left wing in my caption as it appears to have either been torn off or is camouflaged (can't tell). The front end of the banner is a bit of a mystery - it may have a staff but I cannot see one. The Polish Nieuport 12's are from the Putnam book on Polish aircraft and some stuff this Polish guy keeps sending me (asking to add them to my site). Most of what he sent was pictures, some of which I got elsewhere, but the 12's have possibility, and I have a shortage of Polish Nieuport profiles. The biggest problem I've got is I don't want to duplicate profiles I've seen elsewhere. Mike F.

Subject: A day of modelling


Hello all
Seeing as we all seem to be biting at each other and today was/is Sunday did
anyone get any modelling done?
I did and it was great. Trouble was it was ot but those that may know me
from SMML will know I've battling with the old Glencoe USS Oregon for a few
months. She did serve in WW1 but not as I'm modelling her.
I started at 10.30AM and have just finished (10.25 PM) I can't remember when
I last had such a long undisturbed period.
Anyone else a had a day in luxury?--I have.
kind regards
Andy Jones

It's a beautiful day and love is in the air. Marie leans over to Pierre and says: 'Pierre, kiss me!' Our hero grabs a bottle of Merlot and splashes it on Marie's lips. 'What are you doing, Pierre?', says the startled Marie. 'I am Pierre the fighter pilot! When I have red meat, I like to have red wine! She smiles and they start kissing. When things began to heat up a little, Marie says, 'Pierre, kiss me lower.' Our hero tears her blouse open, grabs a bottle of Chardonnay and starts pouring it all over her breasts. 'Pierre! What are you doing?' asks the bewildered Marie. 'I am Pierre the fighter pilot! When I have white meat, I like to have white wine!' They resume their passionate interlude and things really steam up. Marie leans close to his ear and whispers, 'Pierre, kiss me lower!' Our hero rips off her underwear, grabs a bottle of Cognac and pours it in her lap. He then strikes a match and lights it on fire. Marie shrieks and dives into the river. Standing waist deep in the river, Marie throws her arms upwards and screams furiously, 'PIERRE, WHAT IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? 'Our hero stands up, defiantly, salutes and says, 'I am Pierre the fighter pilot! When I go down, I go down in flames!' ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).
