Message-ID: <010801c198c1$347cf8c0$7a3dfad1@dwfjv01> Folks, I decided to unwind last night before bed with a casual glance at a DF. SWMBO decided to look/read along and mentioned to me that she would be very interested in building an a/c model. Can ya believe it? I did suggest to her that since she has never put glue to styrene before, she might want to start off with something ot rather than OT. (I do want this to be a positive experience after all.) There is only one bit of news in this that is somewhat of a disappointment, she wants to build 1/48th a/c. Sorry for something somewhat ot, but I just had to share, and no other group of friends would really appreciate it like all of you.

Yes, Gaston is a locomotive engineer, and works some crazy hours. In my correspondence with him off-list I too have found him to be most agreeable. We have our separate philosophies on different subjects, but agree to disagree. I find it hard to justify his off-list behavior with me, and hison-list behavior of late. It doesn't make sense.

Message-ID: <189.1826166.296d1de1@aol.com> Warren, Obviously, SWMBO has more sense than you do. Why would she become interested in modeling after looking at an OT datafile and then want to build an ot aircraft in the dinky scale? I can see a real danger to your modeling hobby here. As a rule, 1/48 kits cost more than 1/72, so more kits for her means less kits for you. You can't even fob off on her some old Merlins or the such from your stash. And soon, she will be telling you what's wrong with your model building techniques! I'm glad that when I try to discuss modeling with my wife, she tries to stifle a yawn and says, "That's nice, dear" and goes back to whatever she was doing. May this be a lesson to you about reading in bed. At least be glad you weren't reading a murder mystery. :-) Mike Kavanaugh In a message dated Tue, 8 Jan 2002 10:54:53 PM Eastern Standard Time, "ibs4421" writes: > Folks, > I decided to unwind last night before bed with a casual glance at > a DF.

Is > this not so? Does anyone know of a company that plans on filling the gap? > The answer is a clear "Yes and No" APLPS printers were *actually never* produced by ALPS - strange, or? ALPS developed the technology, but from the beginning they had an agreement with Citizen and OKI on the manufacture and distribution. Now OKI obviously has a lot of printer manufacturing experience, and they were the one's who nailed together the ALPS printer. Part of the agreement obviously was that OKI sold the printers in (for example) Europe. ALPS dropped out of the business already in early 2000 - the usual story of "focusing on core businesses" etc. However, OKI still produces these printers (and again, it is not about "copying" or "taking over", as has been said before, but about "continuing"). The ALPS MD 5000 is still available in Europe (under the name of OKI DP 5000), and they actually introduced the newer, A 3 capable DP 7000 in late 2000, *after* ALPS had withdrawn. The DP 7000 has the additional advantage of being able to handle more cartridges, and there are also RGB cartridges available for it (normally, the printer uses CMYK). These is an advantage when you print "spot colors" , that is colors in single, complete layers. This for the first time solves the ALPS problem with Orange and Tan colors, as I've been told, but I have not tested it myself. The disadvantage of the DP 7000 is it's price of around US $ 1700.- (that's at least the last one I was told) So what's the situation: - No new ALPS (or any replacements) available in the US. OKI obviously does not plan to change that as well... - You can still get a new DP 5000 in Europe, but it is a 220 V printer (no dual voltage capability like the MD 1000 had). Also, you might get it in Australia I can give you some addresses, if you're interested, but: - Customer support will be difficult, and you should note that the ALPS/OKI printers are not exactly the most reliable product on earth... Finally, I'm always wondering how long it will take before OKI also drops that series, given their recent financial results and the fact that they barely promote the product range. Finally, there are the Roland printers, which are very similar (most claim better). Also available in the US, but if you here the price, you'll definitely loose the interest.

I use mostly Testor's Acryl since I loaded up on them when they first came out. Thinning to the consistency of milk is standard advice and I think it is good. I use mostly distilled water and/or alcohol to thin. When I started airbrushing, I believe I was using too much pressure, between 25 and 30 pounds. I now use about 18-20 pounds and like the results much better. I'm sure there are many other opinions on this one.

The problem will be changing the plug since U.S. sockets do not match European. They have adapters in Radio Shack but most go from U.S. to European rather than the other way. Any half competent electrician can put on a new plug and most home "handymen" could change it easily. Lee M.

Almost 90% of deaths due to electrocution in Australian homes - where we use 240V - are due to faulty appliance wiring. More than half of those faults were caused by home handymen.

These were beauties were done by our own list members Jack Gardner & Lance Krieg. Jack did a very nice rendition of the Toko Hansa Brandenberg W.29 and Lance built a sweet looking Aeroclub F.E. 2b. Nice Job fella's. I have both these kits on the shelf and can only hope I come close to what these two fellows put out someday.
