I wonder if ever anyone used those little tubes of semi-dry glue. I still have a few, but not from early kits, but from the OT boxes of Academy kits. I always tought that if that cement would work, that's something a spy would use (to glue his models, I guess). It's hard to think that James Bond is a modeller. Maxwell Smart, perhaps.... > Amazing isn't it. He's averaged just over a model per week for 43 years, Just proves that the fun is different for each of us. Undoubtedly he builds without the average level of detail and accuracy we are used to. He finds more fun to finish the model and put it on the shelf than research, modifications, intrincate paint schemes, etc. That's not bad, but it's a different view from most of us.

Late in 1918, the airframe was sold to the Spanish government, who later in mid-20s offered it to private owners as a surplus. It was bought by the young Salvador Dali, in the belief that it was a modern non-figurative sculpture of a Boy Scout. Today it still hangs from the bathroom ceiling of his mansion in Cadaqués, Spain." (end of quote) So Tom, you should make a diorama of the uncovered bristol scout, inside a large bathroom and with Salvador Dali seated on the throne below, admiring it.

Some of the models were obviously old, but most of them looked pretty decent, the japanese ones seemed to be airbrushed.

Looks like about 8mm will need to be removed from the "smooth" French plug and added from the rear of the British plug. With the generosity of members on this list, I'm hoping to work up a replacement master and have it resin cast. Sure the correction isn't too difficult, but personally I find spending a couple of bucks on a new resin piece saves more time than what I spent on the piece. I'm also contemplating scratching a French, single-seat bomber interior to be used in place of the one in the kit. It will probably have to be in multiple pieces, but I think it can be done. Now to purchase another Flashback single-seater to use as a test-fit subject... ;-) Matt ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2002 08:51:43 -0400 From: "tsollers" To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: More nippers Message-ID: <200208211251.g7LCphL20933@mail.bcpl.net> Matt: Thanks for the info.

Definitely! The only problem I've found so far is it's extremely difficult to use them to snip some of the pieces from a Part p/e set. What I'll do in this case is - using a knife - cut the piece as close to the brass "sheet" as possible, then use the nippers (usually only once) to clean off the "burr". Works great.

Help your self and when you're done with it, just drop it where you are. So much easier than putting it back on Dad's bench. He's gonna bellow anyway so why bother to return it.

Beware of the "spiral" description on that Halberstadt. If you look at the pictures in the DF and compare left and right sides you will notice the stripes actually are chevrons, not a spiral. Let me know if you have more questions. Later!
