But wasn´t there an idea before of producing a modelling "cookbook" and maybe even to publish it like a book or CD with some economic benefit for the List? SP? Maybe all are converging to the same point (SP - cookbook, Bob Pearson - CD production, John Impenna - tips in HTML format). I for one would love to see such book in classical paper form - to be able to read it in my bed after getting tired while dusting the piles of boxes of my unbuilt kits :) FWIW Cheers!

Hi Folks, Sometime in the last few days, someone posted a tip about using Rub 'n Buff for these type of cowlings..The site search for the archives is not working, so can whoever posted it, repeat it for me??? Since I had volunteered to collect tips and techniques and none have been forwarded to me yet!!!, but TONS have been posted daily, I think I am going to start "collecting" them and organizing them by topic. Are there any objections to this?? I will give full credit to the author. Also, I could contact whoever is involved prior to posting on the site...Let me know and TIA to the author of the above tip!!

The transit has been long and wearisome - many hours flight in darkness and clouds so thick and enveloping as to appear to be cotton wool or similar. When dawn finally broke at the RFC rear echelon depot the brass questioned the sanity of the pilot making such a long and expensive journey, then allowed him to rest prior to the engagement. This morning, shortly after dawn, Cmdr Perry took off again to fly to the forward airstrip in preparation for combat the following day. Weather fine. Recce reveals that opposition has been mounted in a wide variety of OT and ot aircraft including Albatros D.V and HB W-29, but not including the expected opposition from Gustav Weiher's Pfalz D.XII which (unfortunately) is still in the erecting shed because the work crew was ordered elsewhere by the High Command at what should have been the crucial time. Herr Weiher knows better than to argue with High Command since a certain amount of Marks will be required to properly conduct his other campaigns and if Idflieg gets pissed off - Gus gets none. A further report will follow post combat. We all wish Cmdr Perry well in this dangerous mission Shane (whose *grandfathers* name was Gustav Weiher) ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).

Later in the war, one of the RAF Polish squadrons was responsible for shooting up one of the RAF's He115, despite it wearing RAF markings. During the inevitable Inquiry/CM, the C/O said he had disciplined the pilots involved. When asked if this was for shooting up an RAF aircraft, he said No, it was for not finishing it off !!! All i've read of the free Polish was that they took the war to the Germans VERY aggressively. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2001 16:28:55 +0200 From: "Alberto Casirati" To: "WW1 Modeling List" Subject: Milk weathering Message-ID: <002b01c12cab$20912f20$60e422d4@s> Dear Diego and Neil, Glad to hear that you liked the Ni.28 article in WS.

I don't think it matters. The pigments are powder I got from my friend, I think you can probably use something else, oil paint would probably work, I imagine Humbrol would too. I think the important thing is that the mix is fairly translucent and gives a streaky finish. I think the milk will help there, I don't actually use milk because I have powder. Experimentation will probably show what works. I used to do something similar with little success, but when I got the tip to start with orange it started to come together. You can just about see the effect on the prop of my Deperdussin. I'll try and post some better examples, it's usually hidden in the cockpit. As I said real wood looks even better, but for PE parts its useful. /Neil C. > -----Original Message----- > From: John_Impenna@hyperion.com [mailto:John_Impenna@hyperion.com] > Sent: den 24 augusti 2001 17:22 > To: Multiple recipients of list > Subject: [WWI] Re: Traditional wood simulation wasRE: Re: Windsock has > arrived > > > > Hi Neil, > > >>The recipe for wood simulation is: > 1.
