Not a lot of new information, but what is covered well is the "stuff" on the prototypes, including *drawings*. If you're a Fokker Fan, this is a must. If you're curious about Fokker's, then I would look it over to determine if you want to buy it.

Also most of the OT models are not from "mainstream" manufacturers and that is where most (but not all) modeling interest is. So far I have done four articles and one is OT. I am also tasked with building the new Roden Gotha. So there is an interest in OT on the site it's just not significant. YET! (I'm gonna change that!). The pay issue is a little more complex, but the full build articles are nothing like you will see on any free webzine. Some of their other stuff is identical to what you see on free sites. My last effort consisted of 11 full pages of text and 44 pictures! When have you seen an article like that on a free webzine? And to be honest, this site would not appeal to many members of this list since it is not geared to OT and is also aimed primarily at more beginner modelers (which definitely doesn't fit the profile of this list!). For a beginner modeler the $20 yearly fee would be a bargain as it's far better than FSM or other pay sources (IMHO). For an expert modeler it might be a waste of money (but the new product reviews are great and very worthwhile).

When I tried the usual setting that I used on my old compressor(25-30 psi), the Future didn't seem to go down evenly. It was very misty and spotty and when I coated enough for a "wet" coat, it puddled! I am using a Paasche H-1. I was just wondering what the rest of you do for Future? I'll be "experimenting" the next few days. I may even try thinning Future a little, which I have never done in the past....

I routinely spray future at 10-15 psi, or about 1 atmosphere. Future has recently demonstrated more of it's wonderful properties, as I had a lengthy session when the humidity was high. While I periodically managed to produce a blast of water droplets, the self-leveling compound absorbed the water and left no trace that there was a flow problem.

John, I haven't worried about the problem you have had with Future at all. I first found this oddity when I was spraying a bare metal finish. What is happening is the Future is going on in a very thin coating and at first, it acts like it has nothing to grab hold of on the surface. I use a two layer approach when I spray Future. The first coat is as you say a mist coat. It looks like a bunch of tiny bubbles on the surface. I will usually start with one lower wing tip, go completely around the lower surfaces and continue up the sides and end up on the opposite upper wing tip. By the time I get there, the first coat has made it through its self leveling state and is dry enough to handle gently. I start back at the initial spraying point and put on a second coat. The first coat is still raw enough for the new coat to hang on to, it kind of softens the surface enough to blend it together and results in a smooth finish. If you want more gloss, you can come back a couple of hours later and add additional coats. FYI, I used to shoot my paints around 28 to 30 psi, but I have recently lowered the pressure to 18 to 22 psi, Thin then to the consistency of skim milk instead of whole milk and I have more control and get a better finish. I have found a couple of colors that require a second coat, but the finish is much better.

IM has its fair share of "non-mainstream" builds - witness last months issue with Alberto's and my vac builds. As far as 44 images on one article, it's just my opinion, but there is such thing as "overkill". As far as beginners go, I agree - IM (and most of the other free sites) are geared more toward the "medium" to "advanced" level of modeler, but *any* modeling article will help almost all modeler's, even out of ones "realm". As far as new product reviews go, take a look at May's IM. Talk about variety! Working off memory, you have "in the box" (called First Look) reviews of: Legion Er-2 vac; MPM vs. HiPM Pe-2's; Amodel Yak-2; RVHP Quadraplane, etc.; SRAM 1/144th WW1 aircraft; cars; armor; ships; photoetch; etc. All this for free. The fun thing is I know some of these First Look's are *not* models that were given to IM for review - some come from modeler's who wish to "educate their brethren". Modeling Madness does this as well, as I think Hyperscale does (I only know MM does this because Scott likes to let people know it's coming from his pocket). Sure, it makes no difference where the "in the box" review is coming from, just that it's not important for most 'zines. 'Course, it's just my opinion, after all...

So Andrei, it's a real pleasure having you on board and we look forward to seeing some WWI planes soon..... To all that have commented on the excellence of Karen and Andrei's work, I say don't be intimidated by excellence, be inspired by it! Learn from the masters and you too will improve. Remember, this is all about fun (and learning is fun!).

I've been very busy lately but still reading most of the posts in the list (with a constant backlog of a day or two). I doubt I would myself try to do all the louvres of a correct scale Spad in this way, though I believe it would be possible. With the cost of your sanity, supposedly. One thing to remember with this method, though, is to keep the tip of the tool moistened while pressing with it to prevent it from sticking into the Milliput. I've also used vegetable oil in some more complicated operations with Milliput. Jan > > Yes but your musing caused me to remember this.

It photographs better than it actually is ;) What I really wanted to do was a Sopwith Rhino, but I couldn't get the drawing right, Does anyone know of an existing drawing? Any scale. And do we reckon there might have been some "Strutter" components in it. The span is about right and the tail looks as though it might be similar. cheers Peter L ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 May 2001 17:28:45 -0400 From: "Steven M.Perry" To: Subject: SE.5a Seats Message-ID: <001501c0d285$b642fa60$d3f1aec7@default> I'm shy on cockpit references for the SE.5a.

Anyone know what > kind of seat it had? Boy, have I got the reference for you ! Spent last night trawling through my albums looking for Pfalz D.XII pictures and spent some time looking over my pics of the SE-5a at the AWM, including plenty of nice clear cockpit shots. Believe it or not, they have a flat wooden bench seat ! Must've been the most uncomfortable fighter seat of all time. I *should* have a spare set of prints of the cockpit, which you're welcome to if you can wait a week for the mail Shane ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).

I don't see any responses yet, so I'll look it up when I get home. I don't recall the DH-10 Datafile (#38) as having too many close up photos, so it may still come down to you making an educated guess. Same time tomorrow!
