Sadness is turning to anger. Anger at the cowards who could even think to

unsuspecting, innocent civilians?

60 years ago a military target was attacked while the sailors and soldiers
slept. Today, women and children were attacked while they just tried to
live
their daily lives.

I want to see those responsible punished. Punished in a way that will bring
some feeling of justice to those involved and to the rest people of the
world
that respect freedom.

How can I ever look at those snapshots again? That fine day when things
were
OK and I could point out Ellis Island and Liberty standing on her island,
right over there, just to the right of the towers.

I have no idea what to think or do right now...

I have been modelling aircraft in 1/144 for many years with my main interest being in Golden Age airliners and flying boats. This interest led me to start scratch building a 1/144 Felixstowe F.2a (not yet finished but looking good) which in turn led me to WW1 aircraft in general. I thought about 1/48 as I have also built Golden Age racing and sporting aircraft in this scale but decided (mainly due to the age old ever decreasing display space problem) to continue with 1/144. I have since purchased an assortment of white metal kits from Reviresco, Skytrex and Mamoli, between then they cover 47 different WW1 aircraft with Skytrex also offering an observation balloon with basket & crew, a balloon winch lorry, a mobile AA gun with crew and a mobile 3" AA gun with crew. Can't wait to get into that cute little Siemens Schuckert D-III or the rather impressive looking Gotha G-IV, are there any others list members who choose to model in what must be one of the most masochistic of scales? It may be true that a daily dose of Vegemite can help one to "grow big but still think small". Happy modelling Graham Mason (Melbourne, Australia) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2001 09:07:15 +0100 From: David Fleming To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: WW1 in 1/144th Scale Message-ID: <3B9F17B2.7800BDF4@dial.pipex.com> Hi Graham, I build 1/144th, but rarely OT subjects - the nearest I've got is the Aircraft Models Vickers Vimy Commercial (The wings of which could be a good basis for building a Vimy Bomber). Mine tend to be RAF subjects that are too big in 1/72 for my limited space. Don't know if you've heard or the SRAM range of 1/144th resins - some nice single seat & two seater subjects. there was a dispute re their unauthorized use of art work, but I understand from posts that there may be something happening there. They are carried by some of the Czech suppliers listed on the homepage, and a few others round the world. Also VLE models produce some nice golden age vacforms in 1/144th. http://members.tripod.com/~vlemodels/main.htm Dave ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2001 09:35:26 +0100 From: David Fleming To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: RE: Unsubbing Message-ID: <3B9F1E4E.E7F32BAD@dial.pipex.com> Folks, I can sympathise with Jeff's sentiments - I don't think he was being callous, but there comes a point where it all just gets too much and you feel the need to escape, to wherever you find it. I sat yesterday and watched it all happen live, and I still can't believe it. My country has lived with an active terrorist threat for 30 years, and yet none of us could have expected anything like this. It is difficult to defend against a fanatic who thinks that killing himself will bring him salvation. Eventually, I came up and logged on, and read Gaston's comments about his daughter - a beautiful piece of prose, particularly from a non native English speaker - and went and watched my own daughter(362 days old) with similar thoughts. As I write, they are talking of upwards of 30,000 dead - the same number of people who live in my town. We all react in our own way to these things, Jeff's was that he couldn't take any more. We all feel the need to react with people close to us, and it says much about the camaraderie of this list that people can open up in the way they do. Please don't condemn Jeff for not being able to take anymore. To all my American friends (And friends in America - not quite the same thing) -the whole civilised world has you in our thoughts and prayers. I hope that no-one I know has lost anyone (is that callous ?). Lets us hope that the perpetrators can be identified and brought to justice quickly.

Message-ID: <3B9F3877.6764A86F@iol.it> Hi Stephen, I understand your state of mind, this is a tragedy after which it is very hard to maintain the calm and it would be a great idea to tranform into a radio-active desert all the states you have listed in your e-mail but I remember what Sting sung many years ago during the last moments of the Cold War:" the russians love their children too.....". If all the islamic were that bad your idea would be great but I am afraid that between the madness of integralism there could be some that don't agree this politic, in the same way of german people during WWII, it is not correct to kill everybody for the madness of only a little part of them, if only an innocent man would be killed as a reprisal for this criminal act I am afraid this wouldn't be justice but only vengeance. By the way I agree with you that all the world must come together to fight and destroy this new kind of human madness which involves only innocent people With great sadness all the solidarity in the name of italian people Mario ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2001 13:00:48 +0200 From: "Gaston Graf" To: Subject: the day after... Message-ID: My friends, I cannot describe how sad I feel today. I just replied offlist to Tom Plesha and would like to share part of my letter to him with all of you below: I went to bed late at 0145am, not knowing what the following day will bring. In some way I feared I'll wake up again and the world will be involved in a third world war... As I woke up at about 0800am (I'm off for this week) I did not think about yesterdays events yet. I woke up cause I heard our little one calling for mumma - that's the usualy procedure to declare the world "Hey I am awake now and need my dose of cacao". My wife had prepared the baby bottle already, brought it upstairs and took little Mel in our room. For a couple who both have a job it is a rare pleasure to scrap around with their children when the day begins... Little Mel emptied her bottle, smiled and started with hopping all over our bed, screaming of joy, throwing with cushions and we laughed and played with her. Then my wife said to me "they have lost about 250 firefighters and policemen...". It was like a painful slap in my face as these words brought me back to reality again - a cruel reality that was still at a distance after sleeping, that was kept at a distance through the sreams of joy and the laughter of our little daughter. I still played with our little one, but had to switch between the happy little world of our daugther and the cruel world of reality. It is such a strange feeling to see how our little girl pushes the sadness aside with only her smile when she comes to attract my attention again, but after she turned away for playing elsewhere the sadness swaps back on me like a stinking wave of pitch tar that sticks on me. I cannot wipe it off but the love of my little sweetie can. Yesterday it was the shock that stunned me like the adrenaline rush anesthetises a bad wound for the first moments after it happened, but today I feel so sad that I cannot describe it. Like a wounded feels the real pain only the day after my heart cries of pain today. Even in my maiden language I cannot find the words to express what I feel - yes, maybe I can express myself better in English, which always was my favorite foreign language because it is so damn easy to use. I feel no shame for the tears that I cry. I have no god I believe in but I have my rules, my virtues I live after, and I always believed that a man should know to fight, a man should stand for his word and his deeds and reconize his mistakes to learn from it for life, but he also should be able to show emotions and let his emotions and his tears run free when he feels for it. I never felt a greater sadness for an event that happened so far away from us. Everydays news are filled with sad messages of single persons fates, and even when I feel touched - especially when again a little child became the victim of a raper and murderer - the pain has gone after my heart had build up a new wall around itself again for shelter. But this act of babary let the stone shelter of my heart collapse like the twin towers collapsed, leaving it exposed to the pain like it rarely was before. I feel so stunned that I cannot do anything but sitting here at my computer, reading the list messages and the personal emails from my friends while in the background the German sister channel of CNN - N-tv - is broadcasting the holy mess held for the victims today in Berlin... In most cases I switch off TV after I got saturated with the same pictures and messages shown to me again and again but this time I cannot. I feel that I HAVE to see it all because switching off would be like running away, and I do not run. I never felt a greater solidarity with the whole American Nation than I do now. You must know, that I as a Luxemburger feel greatest respect and gratitude to all of those Americans who fought and died for the freedom of Europe in World War II. In fact, the foundation stone of my love and marriage to my German penpal from the German Democratic Republic was laid at Omaha Beach, with the landings that initiated the victory over Nazi terror, and later again as so many young GIs died for my country in the Battle of the Bulge. Like the first American who died on our territory in an armored car at 1000am on September the 9th, 1944 in Petingen - Lieutenant Hyman Josefson - none of them will never be forgotten by us. Today the free world has to face terror again, but in a different form. I do not feel bad about those who maybe critizised my statement as I said I do not pray. Everybody has his/her own way to deal with such tragical events. I have my reasons for being against any kind of religion which are mainly to be found in the crimes and hypocrism of the religions of the world, not only the Christians. And what religion is able to do was demostrated so horribly again on yesterday. Without religions that fight each other eternally for mostly rediculous reasons this world could maybe exist in peace. But because of the religions there are wars. If there is really a god, what kind if god is he who allows such things to happen? To me there is no god and I would never pray to a god even if one would beat me to death. But I accept and understand that praying is the source the free world now needs to find the strength to go through all of this. I do not pray so I maybe shed more tears, but you can be assured that my heart and my thoughts go out to you all. I was happy to hear the speaches today of the German politicians who declared their nations unbroken solidarity with the US Nation. The same got declared yesterday by our little governement as well as the other European countries. Like the US Nation stood with us in the fight against Nazi terror we now stand with you. Together we are strong and together we will prevail over this terror. They will not break us but strenghten us! In Love, Solidarity and Friendship with you all.

Our country suffered two terrorist bombings in the last decade and the sour taste will naver fade out, nad it has returned strong yesterday morning. You in Australia and me in Argentina are touched with the same vermin, as anyone in this world. Unfortunately the future will bring more pain, I guess. To evade the list just because we're shocked and can't hold this urge to communicate with all the friends all over the world is nonsense. WE WILL BE BACK TO OUR NORMAL LIFE and hobbies and we will still laugh everytime we see cartoons. If we don't then the terrorist would have won, and that's something we won't allow. But today we need to share our sorrow with friends, and this list is a group of friends scattered allover the world. Please don't leave us to be solidary with our american contingent.
