Message-ID: <20010803011841.JIUR8490.mtiwmhc23.worldnet.att.net@webmail.worldnet.att.net> Hi Folks, A package of goodies arrived from England tonite containing the latest releases from Pegasus/Blue Max...The CORRECT scale LVG C.VI and the dinky scale Halberstadt D.II. IMHO, these are Chris's best kits to date.. Blue Max LVG C.VI: The LVG is crsiply detailed and seems to match very well to the plans I have. I don't know the source, possibly Harleyford. The surface detail is very nice as well as the interior. The cockpit siding may be a little too heavy, but it is easily removed and replaced. No problems with molding, namely wing ripple, that has been seen in the past. The white metal is nicely done. The engine only needs some "sprucing up" with some wire, spark plugs, etc.. The kit has the usual strut stock included. The decals are terrific. They also appear to be as good as any that Blue Max has done in the past. The box art is also very well one. Overall, I'd say buy one(that's about all my budget allows!!!!). While a bit pricey at about $31US, it looks to build into a beauty... The Pegasus Halberstadt D.II: This little beauty is as good or better than any Pegasus kits to date. Checks out against my Harleyford plans(I don't worry if it's a mm or 2 off; you can't see that in this scale anyway!!!)The most distinctive feature, the tail looks to be very well done. The white metal is nicely done, except for the engine. This is the only disappointment with the kit, but easily replaced with an Aeroclub, or try and detail the kit engine. Usual strut material. The only problem on my copy were two small sink marks at the rear of each fuselage half. Being the first injected D.II in this scale and not having seen any of the resins, I feel this kit will please most folks..Again, a little pricey at about $17US, but unless Czechmaster or Luedemann release a resin, this is the way to go. The last kit in my order was a Sopwith Dolphin in CORRECT scale. : ) I believe that has been discussed before, but while an earlier release than the other two, it clearly shows a trend toward better kits. Really nice white metal details, especially the guns, and good molding. I like these ugly British beasts in PC-10 and this one is a favorite of mine, so I am glad to have it. If anyone has any questions, email me!! Usual disclaimer....

That's two for unpainted aluminum and none for gray paint. I think you are probably right. Scuffs, oil, cleaning/polishing agents? Something, at least, to make it seem to show in photos.

Hi Andy Firstly I must apologise for being such a slacker in replying. My only excuse is trying to wind work up so I can leave for my hols with a clear conscience :-( Secondly the Sea festival is one of the main reasons we organised ourselves to come to the UK. That and attending a wedding on HMS Warrior ;-) Thirdly, I think it would be great to meet up *but* we don't arrive till the 17th so we miss the evening flying you mention above. However, Karen from Shuttleworth tells me that on the Sunday the 2nd Sept they have the display pageant where they drive and fly everything in the collection. What are the chances of meeting up for this one? Although they don't say so I can't imagine that there wouldn't be *some* evening flying Cheers Lorna ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 2 Aug 2001 22:01:53 EDT From: REwing@aol.com To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: Guillows Kits: Message-ID: <10.105f20ee.289b6011@aol.com> --part1_10.105f20ee.289b6011_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >>I have a Sterling kit of the albatros DIIb at home somewhere - anyone ever make >>it?

    I built this kit.  I actually covered the fuselage with balsa strips.  
After sanding it to thin it down and blend everything together, I gave it a
coat of sanding sealer.  I then gave it a thin wash of brown dope and wiped
it down a bit and got a great finish.  I think I was only 16 or 17 at the
time.  Green/Mauve wings with a green tail!  I know, not historically
correct...I was just a kid!  Supposed to fly as a control line, but never
did.  Just hung it in my room.

While it is chock-full of faults in the air and on the ground, I'll always recall the way a friend fo mine characterized the movie: "Chock-full of aircraft with twind Sapndaus blazing, and who could forget Ursula Andress with her twin Spandaus blazing!" Required OT subject matter: I am trying to think of some OT a/c that would be good, simple builds to introduce my son (7 yrs. old) to the wonderful world of scale modeling. There are, of course, plenty of ot a/c to choose from, and I may have to go that route at first. Do any of you have any good suggestions or ideas? Maybe all of those Airfix kits I have that I now know are real dogs would be good for me to screw up, or my son to break after they are built?

Message-ID: <77.187852fa.289b71d6@aol.com> The Gelncoe Pfalz, the Glencoe N 28, the Testors N17, or (with reservations), the Testors SPAD XIII, or the Smer Camel. The first three are simple, not too many parts, and go together fairly easily, not too many parts, and almost no small parts, colorful decals. The interplane struts of the last two are the reservation, they are a challenge for a kid, they were for me at about that age. Finally, all are relatively large and sturdy once built, it's a toy for a kid, after all. Remember to make it fun!

Be warned that by my reading of the requirements, presentations like GvW's at this years show will NOT be welcome, it's techniques *only*. (And I dare say you'll have to avoid tripping over Merimans collosal ego as well, but that's another story) Shane ============================================= DMeriman writes: I'm looking for talented model builders willing and able to share some of their acquired knowledge at the Virginia Beach, 2002 IPMS Nationals. Specifically, this is a request for you to consider participation as a seminar speaker. As we did during the last Virginia Beach hosted IPMS Nationals, two tracks of techniques oriented model building discussions/demonstrations will run during each day of the convention. The talks will take place concurrently in adjacent rooms located within the same hall containing the display and vendor tables. Each talk will run one hour. Fifty-five minutes demo, with five-minute setup time reserved for the following speaker. Our convention site is The Virginia Beach Pavilion. All activities (less the tours) are under one roof. No long walks or stairs to negotiate between convention activities. I prefer that our speaker's address the practical aspects of model building. Each demo should be augmented by hands-on as well as oral, slide, and video elements. Your audio/visual equipment requirements will be catered to. The objective of the 2002 IPMS National's seminar series is to provide attendee's with useful demonstrations teaching the 'how it's done' of model building. It's my desire that the attendee, be he a figure, armor, aircraft, space, or ship modeler, learns a new, viable set of solutions to problems he has likely experienced. ...Zimmerite application is not useful to the SF model builder, a talk on Warp Engine Design and Modification is of no use to the armor buff... Choose topics that have utility to a broad spectrum of the audience. And, you prospective seminar speakers: please, no 'war stories'; no historical monologues; and keep your 'walk-around' type slide/video shows at home. There are plenty of reference books and videos out there for people who wish to focus on specific prototypes, color schemes, and rivet counts. So, if you think you have the stuff to deliver an informative demo at the IPMS Nat's give this offer serious consideration. Only those accomplished model builders and kit-assemblers possessing above average communicative skills need apply. Submit topic(s) synopsis and bio to: David Merriman, Jr. Holly Hedge Ave. Virginia Beach, VA 23452. Here's you chance to pass on some of the 'tricks of the trade' you learned from others. ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).

Warren, If its his first model, I would stay away from OT and start him with ot, namely some single engine monoplane tail-dragger. The old 1/48 Monogram Spitfire, 109, or Zero(the ones withthe retacting lg) would be a great first choice. Don't know if they're still in production, but they were some easy kits to build. I found the retracting gear easier to deal with than trying to get fixed gears to stay alligned while the glue dried. After one or two of those, introduce him to the wonderful world of struts.

Message-ID: Shane, thanks a lot for bringing my attention to this picture. Unfortunately the handle itself appears very dark on it so one cannot see much details. Is there a detailed description available? Did Charles maybe write one? How can one lure a lurker out of his hiding place? Hoo-Hooooh, Chaaaaarliiiieeee !!! Do you have more pics of Manfreds stuff? I tried to enlarge this part of the picture, changed brightness and applied a sharpness filter on the handle to see more details... It looks like there was an electrical button attached close to the left grip which was operated by the thumb. Was this maybe the loading button? The hunting rifle trigger is clearly visible but there is a reddish part going from the column that I cannot figure out what it was - maybe the electrical wire for that button? Also the upper end of the column looks as if there was something else attached to it which might have been of canvas or leather - but what was its purpose?. Did the handle got damaged on the impact of to aircraft? Unfortunately you Aussies live so far away - I wish I could step over to the museum to take a close look at that part ;o).

Unfortunately, I used 6x6 colour transparencies and an 18% grey reference card, because I wanted to avoid the colour processing labs "correcting" the colours to neutral for me. Transparencies are *somewhere* in my garage, in one of about 20 large cartons still unpacked since we moved in 1998 ! FWIW the idea with the grey card is to have it and the item being photographed in the same shot. The card is a known colour and brightness and illuminated with the same lighht from the same direction as the artifact. This means I can make colour prints with the card in the photo very near exactly the same colour and darkness as the original - which means that the item of interest in the photo is reproduced quite close to correct as well. Of course, I need to find the slides, and card, and a room to set up my darkroom equipment - something I haven't had since the birth of our twins 11 years ago!

Although I don't have details (or money enough to consider this kind of proposals...) I followed the matter in the newspapers once it got out to the general public. Apparently the proposal is very credible and, although behing obviously illegal, seems a very attractive short term investment. Some (few? a lot?) portuguese industrialists, stock market investors etc fell for it and got scammed. Nothing was ever recovered. We had some people arrested hee but it seem they actually were some kind of diplomats making money for themselves with other people's gullibility. The fact that Nigeria is known to be one of the most corrupt countries in the world helped to make the proposal credible... I would advise referring this proposal to your authorities if you have reason to believe this is taling place in your countries. ot but important IMO Fernando _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
