Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.0.20020426120329.00a29170@colony.co.uk> Greetings:) its a bit lost in mythology and legend but this is the best I can do, but really it should be a Frenchman that explains it as you will see:) The origin is from a word "Tallio" which is a corruption of the French hunter's call. Four hundred years ago the French hunter encouraged his dogs with the musical cry of "Thia-hilaud a qui forheur!" sometimes printed "Tya-hillaut a qui forheur!" (These huntsmen's shouts are given in a quaint and rare old French book illustrated with the strange pictures of the day and entitled "La Venerie de Jacques du Fouilloux, a Paris 1573.") From this the English manufactured "Tallio, hoix, hark, forward." Later it has been abbreviated to simply "Tally-Ho" meaning the hunting cry of let's go :) The French origins are because in those days, French was the language of the court and only those of the court were involved in hunting. It's a bit OT really, because its been used in every scenario to the present day, and I am sure by some WW1 pilots just prior to entering combat.

They appear to have improved over the past year or so: possibly a new computerised system has helped them. I have had less than satisfactory service from the following: 1. Great Models - just cannot seem to consistently obtain the stuff that they list on their web site. 2. Roll Models - delay, difficult to contact and to get a response from. I am also spoiled because I live 10 minutes drive from a great local hobbyshop - Nostalgic Plastic, and Ken LaSala (KPL Systems) is also local and attends our IPMS DC meeting to sell stuff.

I have never had a bad experience with them...I think all of the whining about them being slow or unresponsive(I have never had a problem getting Tom on the phone during their stated hours) is just the "children" out there who have no patience and expect their stuff 2 hours after they order it!!! Don't hesitate to order from them. They carry stuff that no one else does. http://www.aviationusk.com/ -Classic Planes-Okay if you don't mind waiting 4-6mos for your stuff with virtually no updating..I don't mind because Detlef has great stuff and I have plenty to keep me occupied while waiting!! http://www.classic-plane-mrr.de/index.html So-So to do Business with: -Roll Models-Very slow, virtually impossible to contact....Only order if not available anywhere else. -Hannants-usually has stock, but very snooty and have minimums for ordering, but generally reliable. -Great Models- I have had better luck with them than most...You MUST place your order by phone and then stay on top of it..I had to call a few times about an order that said "in stock" and wasn't shipping..I finally got someone with a brain and they shipped the order..

If you recall I did a review of the kit in box and really didn't like it much. However, now that I am getting into it and spending the time to study the documentation it isn't bad at all! You just have to be careful to measure and dry fit a lot! Personally I am really happy it looks like I am going to enjoy this build because I have two of these puppies to do!!!! Just goes to show you....sometimes a meal looks terrible but tastes pretty good!!

Great service. Can you guys say something about these paints? Are they acrylics, enamels? Why do you prefer them to those that are more readily available. I'm an old-timer and we used Floquil in the 'old days', though Humbrol was popular where it could be had. What say you about the newer formulations of Modelmaster? As long as I'm talking, I'd like to follow up my 'yucky service' msg regarding Great Models with the contrast in dealing with Squadron. I ordered some kits from them last night. In the process, I screwed up when I typed my MasterCard number. When I got back from a meeting this morning there was a msg from them on my answering machine, explaining what was wrong, gave me the name of a contact person and a phone number to call. I did. They're shipping the stuff I ordered right away. I may be getting some new plastic in my hands after all :-) Cheers --- Larry ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2002 13:32:23 -0400 From: CoolSpadLuke@aol.com To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: buying kits Message-ID: <770F303B.546E6840.138E644A@aol.com> MisterKit paints are acrylics which work fine for me. I guess the biggest reason I like them is that I'm lazy and they come in most of the OT color ranges, British, French, German, A-H and Italian. .. . have I missed any? They also make ot colors. I'm sure there are listees that have used them more than I have. You have to pretty much finish models to use a lot of paint. ;-) For enamels, I also like Humbrol.
