I Can some of you guys talk about how you store your models? It's pretty easy for me to dust my RC and FF models but these tiny models are less amenable to dusting.

In any case, I'll do what a friend here made for his ot big birds: Make a regular "hanging" picture frame but in the lower side add a small wooden ledge. The frame must have a stiff plywood or plastic inside, to wich the ledge is firmly attached. by countersunk screws. Paint the base as the "floor" be that grass or tarmac, and you can add a small sign to the ledge. Glue the model to the base with metal pins, it's very important to have this weel glued. Then add a glass or acrilic cover (sort of a box with three walls, being the 4th the lower wooden ledge) so the weight of the box is supported to the ledge. The bigger the display, the more reinforced must be the ledge and the attachment points. For a 1/72 model I guess that it should be moderately strong. It's useful as well if the lower ledge has a small step on the edges so the box won't slip on the model if anyone knocks it The advantage of this is that you get a very unusual model display (you can exercise creative ways to show terrain, vehicles, tarmac floors, oil stains, etc.) and it doesn't needs much space.

What do you guys use? I use these clear acrylic "Trophy holders". Mine are 9" x 9" x 4". They are pretty air tight and dust doesn't collect. I can fit up to four WW1 fighters in one of these (yet another advantage of 1/72:) ).

It will probably hold about thirty planes (both 1/72 and 1/48!) I think. Often over here if you check out second hand furniture places you can get good sized ones relatively cheap. As mine is starting to fill, I'll need another one by next year. If you do get an old one - maybe an old china cabinet, you can have fun restoring it to its former glory also for little extra cost.

The display part of the cabinet is only about 1,2 m high but that does make room for plenty of 1/72 storage. The glass shelves are adjustable in height. It's fairly easy to do it and it was a fun project. sometime in the future I'll make another one. The materials are very easy to obtain, it just takes a bit of planning and then going to a wood shop. You bring the parts all cut to your chosen dimensions and then it's just a matter of assembling the "kit" with screws and white glue.

They come in different dimensions: the one I describe above is perfect for a few samll planes. I get them at the "Container Store" which is a chain in the U.S. and they cost $10 each. >Imagine how big it would be if you modeled it in that 'other' scale :-) Not worth considering on any acount:).

Turn it the other way Larry! There's a schematic in the packet for each style of lozenge application - lengthwise, spanwise and diagonal. The width of each decal strip is the width of the bolt of lozenge. Lay it at a 45 degree angle on the wing's surface and cut a parallelogram-shaped piece of lozenge whose opposite angles should be 45 degree and 135 degrees.

A regular and very careful dustng with a wide, soft brush gets things back to reasonable shape - but never, ever, let a wife dust models!!! Mind you, this advice may not apply to you (except for the wifely reference), as I build in a scale I can see ;-) Dave Fletcher ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 4471 **********************
