Neil,

there are many good books about modeling but one that features also a very
good chapter about photographing your models is Sheperd Paines "How to build
Dioramas". Go and get you the updated second edition of my personal
schoolbook ;o). He the master explains you everything you wanna know in a
way that even the dumbest dude on earth MUST understand it or he/she is even
to dumb to hold a book the right way.

Guess you are talking about fluorescent lights, Jan. They turn photos green
if you don't use a filter or a flash.

Thanks for the heads-up Tim
I'm selling some duplicate kits and books and have offered them on ebayUK as
I assumed international selling was probably a bit depressed at the moment -
I'm sure all parcels are treated with extreme caution everywhere though!
However if anybody in the US wants to bid on a whole stack of OOP Eduard,
Blue Max and Aurora kits please do so!
If you take the Bebe link below and look at other auctions from me
(macsporran) you might find something to tempt you?

Thanks for tolerating the blatant plug!

There's a Blue Max Nieuport Nie 11 Bebe kit currently listed on Ebay, with a
'buy now' option at 18 UK pounds. This seems (relatively) inexpensive to me.

Yep, that's it. My english is also getting worse on these more modern
matters, but a year ago I couldn't tell the difference of landing wire
and flying wire. And I would have told that fishplate is something you
serve fish on. ;-)

And it was just by accident that I knew it in Swedish, we just changed a
fluorescent tube at the office and I noticed the Swedish name on box and
thought to myself that now I learned that, too. ;-)

Plus the pulsating light emitted from fluorescent tube may confuse the
measuring of light, too. Or that's what they say, anyway. I haven't
tried, 'cause I can't afford wasting film. ;-)

Peter:

Given the relatively small amount of on topic stuff in the NASM/Garber 
facility, I am glad we have it in DC but it would have been nice to have it 
restored to its WWI colours rather than the gaudy red and white of its 
Hollywood experience.  I wonder whether there are plans to make such a 
restoration.   Brian Nicklas?

Howdy Gang!

Roll Models still carries Chorozsy Modelbud. A new deal was worked out. They 
are a little more expensive than they were, but they are also safer to buy.

You all may remember our group order? There was a long time between payment 
and delivery with very little communication in between. I was very worried 
for a while... I had sent $600+ of other people's money over seas, with 
nothing to show. Whew! Was I ever glad when all those kits arrived! So 
anyway, I would suggest purchasing through a distributor if possible. Just 
to avoid the worry of "where did my money go"?

Also, Roll Models now has a searchable catalog. Just like the big guys. It 
is easy to use and fast. Try it out at:

http://www.rollmodels.net/search/phpsrch2.htm

Later!

Brent

Hah! Help you?!?! You Commie Pinko! You don't even respond to my polite post 
requsting aid for an ot Mig project. Just for that I am going to paint them 
ALL white and red. Hah hah! Except for the German evaluation ones. THOSE get 
crosses and swastikas.

Nearly OT content: My "quick build" Finnish Fokker D.VII is nearing 
completion. Please, somebody help me. The next time I decide on a four color 
splinter camo scheme please point out it isn't conducive to a "quick build". 
Sheesh!

My next "quick build" is a Breguet 14a.

Later!

Are you certain he mean 1/4th scale?  Sometimes "quarter scale" refers to 
1/48th scale - one "quarter" of an inch equals one foot.

Fluorescents: although there are tubes called Colour Matching,

Hello,

I'm not quite up to speed on OT book values, so I'd like some opinions on
the following deal:

I've been given a price quote of  $32 (US) for the Harleyford book "Fighter
Aircraft of the 1914-1918 War" in very good condition.  
Good deal or not?

Please forgive my ignorance of the subject - I've seen these books
referenced in glowing terms many times by you listmembers, but have never
had the opportunity to purchase one.

Many thanks,

Sandy, can you set up a PayPal account or something? You have some cool 
stuff, but I hate dealing with international bank drafts etc and I really 
hate sending cash in the mail. Especially now. I bet a lot of letters from 
USA will be opened and inspected. With my luck I won't get an honest post 
person. Anyway, your stuff would be more attractive to me if PayPal was a 
payment option.

I sent this via the list in hopes of other people deciding to use this

Thanks for the support.

My writing may be a little disjoined this week, it's production week for Faust.  It's a long opera, and I'm working full days before evening rehearsals.  I'll be a bit more in lurk mode till next Tuesday.

Sleep?  What is that?  What, Me Worry?

.Mark.

Lest there be any confusion - this is NOT my model (though I sure wish it
was!)

Matt, Exacto makes a "parallel line cutter" that also functions very well as
a bow compas with two very sharp blades at the tips  that can cut very
precise circles.
YMMV

Hei,

I visited England last week, here are my OT impressions:

Hannants - the staff was a lot more friendly and helpful than before,
but there are so many new items coming out that it is difficult for
them to keep track of what they have.
They should have a possibility to connect up to their online catalogue
and check what is in stock.  Don`t think it is room for them to have
all the special items in the Colindale shop, next time I might send
a list in advance for the items I want to look at.

The Aviation Bookshop - they have a lot of old and new magazines and
books that are hard to get hold of, always worth a visit.
It is on the Northern line but not the branch to Colindale,
so it is neccessary to go to Camden and then back-track.

The RAF Museum - the exhibition covering first part of WW1 was closed,
and a lot of other maintenance going on so some items were not visible
while other had been moved so I got photos from new angles.
Didn`t see anything realy new that was OT except for some engines.
Like the way they present the aircraft, both a generic history on
the type and a detailed one describing the exhibited aircraft giving
information of what parts that are original and if it has been rebuilt
from a number of wrecks.
I didn`t get into the BoB hall, it was closed for special arrangement
for the last two hours, it was on a sign I had noted the staff was 
setting up next to the main enterance, but I didn`t read it until later.

The FAA Museum - I followed their instructions on how to get there,
train to Sherbourne and a taxi to the Museum (10GBP).
Most of the early aircraft are replicas, they are placed in dioramas.
I was mainly interested in the Sopwith Baby, it is OK with the fence
on one side, but why there is a brick-wall (made in plastic) 
that I can hardly peek over on two sides is beyond my understanding.
Maintenance was being undertaken there as well, so I didn`t get into
the room with the original Short 184 fuselage etc.
There is a lot of WW2 and later stuff there as well, the "Carrier"
experience is very well made, the helicopter flight felt real to me.
It is possible to look into the restoration room, but the glass around
is highly reflective and I don`t think it is possible to get decent photos.
There is a stripped WW1 aircraft hanging in the Concorde hall,
don`t know if my camera gear was good enough for getting pictures of it.
If going to either of the museums, bring plenty of 400ASA film and 
the strongest flash you can get for your camera.

When on Museums, I visited the NTM here in Oslo today and found that 
the Etrich Rumpler Taube had been removed and replaced with a pre-WW1
Deperdussin instead.  The Taube has gone to Gardermoen (near Oslo airport)
for refurbishing and display with Farman F-46 and BE2e.
Will try to make a few detail photos of the Taube some time later.
