Hey Neil, When I paint props, I like to use artist oils - I use a lighter brown base color, like a burnt sienna, with little dabs of raw umber and yellow ochre blended in - it adds a slightly different tone to it so that it doesn't look like a perfectly uniform color and doesn't scream 'paint'. Then, after about an hour or three, I add little bits of color in there to represent grain and carefully blend it in. British prop painting is usually made easier as alot of them had doped-fabric or metal covers on a good part the prop blades. Also, as the colors are fairly uniform in appearance as opposed to German props, it is a better suited subject to oils. You mentioned using washes to redden the tone. Another reason that I like to use lighter colors is that I use Future and drafter's inks to add the final color to the blade - adding a deep gloss to it as well. My Future mix is usually a brownish red. But Dude, I gotta recommend that you try to carve one yourself. I did that article for Internet Modeler a little while back - look at it. It is fairly easy and fun - I enjoy carving the props as much as building the rest of the model! And each 1/48 scale one only takes about 2 hours of work - usually with sanding sticks - and you can just sit in front of the telly and bang them out 1-2-3. You will surprise yourself with what you can come up with! But then again, I'm biased....

Having spent a good part of my youth carrying around and firing a variety of gas operated MG's and SMG's I think I can answer this question. The problem is that the cyclic rate of fire isn't even, partly because of variations in ammo, and partly because the weapon itself slowly drifts in rate during firing even with scrupulously produced ammo, as it heats up and as fouling of the gas cylinder and piston occur. With a synchronised weapon you can't afford the last round between blades to take just a little long to fire, or you get a hole in that big fan thingy. Anyone who has struggled to keep an M-60 working properly with blank ammo and a BFA will recognise how quickly a bit of crud can make the shots individually countable and unevenly fired.

In Netscape this does not do anything on ost messages until they are "Opened" they do not exist as far as the Netscape program is concerned. Most of the bad programs are directed toward Internet Explorer and Outlook Express and their witless architecture. Netscape is better in that regard and if you do not actually open an attachement it does nothing at all. I hjave been using Te Netscape product since it was called Mosaic in the old days. I have used every version and I have been using 6 for a while even though 6.2 is here. I do not have an antivirus program and in all these years I have never had a virus or a Trojan Horse. Simply delete. Go to Trash and delete again, and, it is gone. Save your worry energy for the other brand.

I think as well as the pure collectors, there are many of us who buy kits with the intention of building them but the sheer volume of kits owned plus other time constraints means that only a few ever get built. At some point these modellers become collectors. I know a group of guys in my club who are in this situation. I am probably near it myself maybe. One guy in my club has about 800 kits of different vintages. From what he's told me he builds about four kits a year. He is fifty six years old. Is he a builder or a collector? Personally I don't know anyone who I would class as a pure collector but as you pointed out earlier us Southerners don't get about much : ) There is quite a good market for second hand kits down here. all the swap meets are very well attended and William at Hobby HQ does well with a mixture of interesting second hand kits and new material. William is sometimes good value to check out for odd OT kits and Golden Age, he's on the web (No connection here - just a satisfied customer) as well. He sold me the Triplane I'm currently wrestling with. I suppose my point is here that some of these large kit collections are not static with swaps, deals and sales leading to quite fluid collections. All the Best Neil E I still want to see whose building these OT kits that disappear - maybe a World war One National Comp would flush them out? _________________________________________________________________________________ NOTICE: This communication is confidential.

His "Wall of Plastic" is something to behold. There's a few like that here too, though all of the ones I know actually build a few models. However - I think you *did* have another member down there with a mighty collection of ot models who moved to Burleigh Heads some months ago. Thought I'd better tell you t hat he came to one RSM meeting, told us all about them, said he'd see us next month and was *never* seen again. I guess we're too weird for him. Though how we get to be worse than his old club I dunno ;-) > Plus I have a couple of models that I bought for their > "collectability" which I don't intend to build. Otherwise > I intend to build to the rest ;-) Peculiar. I have nice little collection without a single one bought with any intention other than to build it or gut it for parts. However, I admit that some have been overtaken by better kits and sit there because I have a nostalgic connection to them. OTOH if I ever get the time those kits get built as well, probably as an exercise to see whether I *can* Shane ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).

Pages 167, 168, and, 169 of Netscape 6.2 Manual. Printed October 2001. I probably broke the Law but I am sure Netscape will forgive me.... If you follow the good sense directions there is little reason to ever get a virus with Netscape. You have a number of opportunities to do what you know is right. Delete the thing! Why fool around??? Remember these Virus things must be EXECUTED. They do not just happen. pg 167 If you receive an attachment that consists of a file type that Netscape can display, such as graphic files or HTML files, you see the attachment displayed inline ( in the body of the message). For other type files, Mail lets you open the attachment using another application or, alternatatively, save the attachment to a disk. pg 168 To open the attachment, make sure you have a program on your computer that can open files of the same type as the attachment. For example, if you want to open a GIF file, make sure you have a program to open GIF files. To open an attachment: 1. Double-click the attachment you want to open in the Attachments field in the Mail Window. 2. In the Down loading dialog box, chose what you want Netscape to do with the attachment. (Dialog Box will be displayed on the computer.) You can open the file using the suggested program or save it to disk without opening it If the attachment is a type of file that you may not be able to open with a program you have on your computer, the standard Open With Dialog box appears. ( another dialog Box called OPEN WITH appears.) In this case, you may not be able to open the attachment, but you can at least save it for possible later viewing. Click "ADVANCED" to add a new file type to the list of helper applications. Netscape 6 uses helper applications to determine how different file types are opened by other applications from within Netscape. pg 169 3. Click OK. TIP: If you are viewing your e-mail using an IMAP mail server, all attachments remain on the server Saving Attachments You can save files and web pages you receive as attachments on your local computer and then store, print, or edit them as needed. 1. In the right side of the message envelope, select the attachment you want to save. 2. Right-click (control+ Click on Mac OS) the attachment and chose Save As from the "drop down" list. 3.

Pages 167, 168, and, 169 of Netscape 6.2 Manual.
Printed October 2001.

I probably broke the Law but I am sure Netscape will forgive me....

If you follow the good sense directions there is little reason to ever get a virus with Netscape. You have a number of opportunities to do what you know is right.     Delete the thing!   Why fool around???

Remember these Virus things must be EXECUTED.  They do not just happen.

pg 167
If you receive an attachment that consists of a file type that Netscape can display, such as graphic files or HTML files, you see the attachment displayed inline ( in the body of the message).  For other type files, Mail lets you open the attachment using another application or, alternatatively, save the attachment to a disk.

pg 168
To open the attachment, make sure you have a program on your computer that can open files of the same type as the attachment.  For example, if you want to open a GIF file, make sure you have a program to open GIF files.

To open an attachment:
1. Double-click the attachment you want to open in the Attachments field in the Mail Window.

2. In the Down loading dialog box, chose what you want Netscape to do with the attachment.

(Dialog Box will be displayed on the computer.)

You can open the file using the suggested program or save it to disk without opening it

If the attachment is a type of file that you may not be able to open with a program you have on your computer, the standard Open With Dialog box appears.

( another dialog Box  called OPEN WITH appears.)

In this case, you may not be able to open the attachment, but you can at least save  it for possible later viewing.

Click "ADVANCED" to add a new file type to the list of helper applications.

Netscape 6 uses helper applications to determine how different file types are opened by other applications from within Netscape.

pg 169

3. Click OK.

TIP: If you are viewing your e-mail using an IMAP mail server, all attachments remain on the server

Saving Attachments

You can save files and web pages you receive as attachments on your local computer and then store, print, or edit them as needed.

1. In the right side of the message envelope, select the attachment you want to save.

2. Right-click (control+ Click on Mac OS) the attachment and chose Save As from the "drop down" list.

3. Enter the file name and svae location for the attachment and click OK.  Mail downloads the attachment and saves it to the specified location

TIP:  To save all attachments, right-click the firast one in thae attachment listy, and chose Save All.  You can the specify the location where you want all the attachments to be saved.

END of pages copied.

Please notice not one time does it say you have lost conmtrol of openmiong or not... If you want to avoid a virus or Trojan Horse just delete and the go to trash and delete again.

If you feel lucky play what ever game you feel you can get away with.

Personally I delete first and worry less later....

So my friends, Matt and any others,  this is why I have never had a Virus.

If you do not   exe.   the beast it will DIE...There is nothing else it can do unless you use IE and OUTLOOK Express
