I discovered that I could do the blue on french 1/72 roundels with it, that is a radius of 2.5mm on underwing Spad roundels. I use a tiny knife blade that I once bought in an art supply shop, that goes where the bit of lead normally would. I have a swivel knife, but have never used it, a complete waste of money, because its easier to cut a wavy line with an ordinary knife. I can't see how it could work in a compass, it would be a little like landing an aircraft with an unlocked tailwheel, I've never done it but heard it's a bad thing. /Neil ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2002 14:10:23 +0100 From: Crawford Neil To: "'wwi@wwi-models.org'" Subject: RE: IM Article Question Message-ID: With all respect and gratitude for your work Matt and Allan, but given the choice between RK's 0/400 article, Shane's Biff ditto, or a kit review.

I'm sorry Ross, but I agree with Shane here. The Cook-Up has a use, after it's finished, as a reference for a certain type of aircraft/armor/ship. If the medium is what's we're talking about I offer myself to build a page gathering tips about vacuform modelling, but let's stay out of the cook-up features. In fact this vac-tech pages can be linked to the vac listing I made some time ago (and that needs updating). > hell the Giants is a perfect > candidate for vacs (don't go there Diego ;-) ).

How many of you that have bought the new AEG kit
received one that has severely warped wing panels?  In
my kit, all of them are.  The rib detail is heavy to
say the least.  Still, with some work, it has definite
possibilities.

Hi Todd, I just opened my box from squadron and found my AEG GlV inside. Well, when I opened my kit, I found the wings are shaped like a U! How in the world does one fix this or are we better off sending them back? Otherwise while the detail is a bit heavy, overall the rest looks OK at first glance. No test fitting was done yet at this point.

Actually, your best bet might be to use beading wire - make long, skinny oval from one of the higher gauge (34 or 36 gauge) wire, and tack it onto the rigging. I don't know what you are rigging with, if it is monofilament, you can tie these in. Another way to fake it in monofilament is to use the fisherman's knots. There are two that are common, the linch and the barrel, that give a long cylindrical knot. The linch knot is used to make a loop at the end of a line, the barrel knot for a 'dropped loop' in the middle of a line. The linch knot is the easiest - it is like doing half-hitches, only you wrap the free end about ten or 12 times up from the end loop around the standing part, then pass the free end down, through the loop, and back through the side loop you had just made. The trick is in how you pull tight, because if you don't keep them steady, the wraps will come loose and twist. The number of wraps around the standing part is entirely optional, depending on how long you want the knot 'barrel'. The barrel knot is similar, but harder to describe. Essentially, you take the line and fold it into an 's' curve, then start wrapping back over one of the loops. If you were going to put a hook on it, you would leave a dropped loop in the 'center' bar of the 's'. You finish it by passing the 'wrapping' loose end through the end loop of the part you've wrapped. It is easy to see with thread in your hand. These look good in 1/48th and 1/72nd, but they might not look right when scaled up to 1/32nd - the fact that it is a knot may be too obvious. .Mark. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2002 18:37:10 +0100 From: a.r.martin@t-online.de (Rita) To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Caudron G4 Message-ID: <16Y9Wo-0hkyWGC@fwd01.sul.t-online.com> Hi list-members, now I have another question about the Caudron G4: I belive the nacelle was coverd with plywood.

Is this correct? And what's about > the back of the engine-nacelles? Also plywood? I guess you're right in both cases: plywood or some wooden composite material. I don't have too may pictures of this airplane, but the use of metal was limited just to the engine cowls and some panels behind them.

Your own fine model of the G3 has a fabric nacelle... or was this the decision of the folks at AJP Maquettes?

Anyway, it's hard to go wrong for $7, so I'd like to practice some techniques on this kit. However, I've searched the net and the WWI site and found almost nothing about this aircraft - and particularly little information about the cockpit. Does anyone know of any source of photos, plans, or instructions for the cockpit or a reasonable estimation? I notice some basic similarities to to the Morane L and wonder if this would be a suitable substitution? If so, does anyone have any Morane L info? If not, then I may donate the kit to a local law enforcement agency to use as a substitute for Kevlar body armor.

I suppose some kits are like that. I built an Airfix Wallace & Gromit kit that had plastic as hard as rock; sanding the seams was like working with marble. I wonder if the Maquette DH-9a is like that - has anyone built that thing?
