While Lance is not without logic in his suggestion that it requires discipline to build only one at a time, this isn't how the entire world turns. I've certainly been in a couple occupations where many people fail because they don't have the discipline to allow them to keep several balls in the air simultaneously, working enough on all of them to move the entire process forward. > Exactly my philosophy.

For myself, my modeling isn't heading anywhere so I have no intentions that it get somewhere :-) If I decide I want to paint, I generally have something to paint. If I decide I want to glue, I can always glue something. Heck, if I want to cut some wood, I can find a project to do that too. Lately I've been sitting on my butt reading Rex Stout novels. It's a very 'undisciplined' approach :-) Cheers --- Larry ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2002 09:11:40 -0300 From: "Diego Fernetti" To: Subject: RE: The \"Itch\" Message-ID: <022401c242c2$94e63a40$4640a8c0@ssp.salud.rosario.gov.ar> Matt! > Nie.24bis is the Choroszy, and the Fokker D.VII is the Roden kit > which will build into a Jasta 40 machine.

Definitely! The Osprey SPAD 12/13 Aces book. The Datafiles on the G.3 and the (coming) G.4. However, I seriously doubt you'll see a Datafile on the Salmson, with the awesome Flying Machines Press book out on the types. As for the Breguet, Rimell is supposed to be working on a Datafile Special, plus we have the other book(s) coming from Wylam. Now the SPAD two-seaters, I really can't say... What I truly wish is that someone with the French contacts and the French knowledge re-do some of the other, already released Datafiles. Nieuport 10/12 DF is extremely British-centric, as are the two volumes on the Sopwith Strutter. I'm sure there are others, but those two stick out in my mind the most.

Message-ID: The superglue kickers are mainly amines (the organic derivatives of ammonia). They are going to be water soluble, and how they act on plastic is going to depend on the organic groups on the amine nitrogen. I have no idea what is happening to cause the stain. If I understand correctly, both cases involved lead shot or weights, correct? I could see a bit of lead dust suspension or lead amine compounds seeping through the joint if there was a generous excess of kicker used, but usually the superglue/kicker combination is so fast that it does not travel far. I don't think anyone is going to be interested enough to do a thesis on this, so chalk it up to a mystery of life and take photos to document it next time it happens. Maybe they can be posted with the proof of Sasquatch, Yeti, Flying Saucers, and the real story behind crop circles - as evidence that if this happened, the others must. .Mark. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2002 07:25:40 -0500 From: "Matt Bittner" To: "wwi@wwi-models.org" Subject: Sorry list Message-ID: Sorry list, but wanted to mention to D to check his hotmail account.

There are plenty of photos of all of the above... and they don't prove a thing. In fact, the ones that aren't obvious fakes generally tend to create more questions than they solve. Sorry, but I felt I had to throw in a Fortean perspective ;-) I guess the solution to the issue of the lead stains is to use 5-min epoxy, that's what I always used back in my unenlightened day of building M*L-24Vs and thingies with nosewheels.

The Morane Bullet one is pretty much about the RFC use, but then again this was JM Bruce's speciality. Actually, as an aside, does nayone know why the British made very little use of French multi seat aircraft (Other than the Nie10/12 series), wheras they used a lot of French fighter types (Spad 7 & 13, Nieuports, Moranes).

After all they carried on using 1.5 Strutters long after the RFC gave up, the Spads were (whispering this) not very good, and by the time the Breguets came along the RFC had Bristol fighters and DH4/9. /Neil C. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2002 10:25:19 -0300 From: "Diego Fernetti" To: Subject: RE: Rhinebeck Message-ID: <02e801c242cc$def11ba0$4640a8c0@ssp.salud.rosario.gov.ar> I'll send this message to the now unsubscribed Andrei K. > The talk about Cole Palen yesterday got me nostalgic, is anybody up for a List trip to the > Aerodrome this year?

First, is that the number you think you sent? Second, a while ago there was a discussion of how much each sheet would cost but I can't recall what the end result was. Also, if you have a PayPal account I can get the money to you immediately. Otherwise I've got to get to the bank and get a currency that would be useful to you as my Canadian checks would only cost you money to cash them. Let me know what the total bill is and how you want the money sent. Lastly, thanks for negotiating this purchase. Great stuff.

It seems to elimnate the "itch" for a new subject and allows variety while building, plus it helps you get those hundreds of kits built in one lifetime!!! This actually started because my wife figured out that at my present pace, it would take about 147 years to finish the kits I have one at a time, so by doing 2 or more at the same time, I can at least cut that number in half!!!!!!! ; ) Regards, John ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2002 12:52:11 -0300 From: "Diego Fernetti" To: Subject: Re: The \"Itch\" Message-ID: <003a01c242e1$63309bc0$4640a8c0@ssp.salud.rosario.gov.ar> Two equal kits? e.g. two Eduard Hanriots?

All of the kicker bottles come with spray heads on them. In almost all cases, for our use, even a very gentle push is way more kicker than we need. I take the spray head off and replace with a regular cap. When needed, I use a #J crochet hook to transfer a drop to the intended place. For seams, capillary action will pull the kicker down the seam. Two or three drops and all is finished. For struts, small parts ect. the small drop is all that is needed. For areas like nose weights or where you need a lot of something in one area, a couple of drops randomly placed will cure all of the CA in very short order. I have a bottle of kicker that is at least 5 years old and I still have half of it left. Kept closed, it will last a long time. When used with the spray head, you will go through a bottle in a month or less.

If > anyone comes across on who this modeler is, I would like to know. The builder of the Spad XI was a Barry Webb; I *think* the Salmson was done by the same modeler. I have names to attach to about half of the OT models, other than the ones done by listees. Do you want me to list them? It occurred to me at the show that we listees should design a little 'invitation' to tuck under inspiring models at the shows we go to. Print up half a dozen and take them along. I don't have a clue how we would find the builders other than doing a search of each name.
