Message-ID: <20021119235740.565E634F1D@login-3.eunet.no> Hei, I glue resin with medium or gel type CA, slower speed is an advantage. Sand surfaces to be glued to ensure fit and greater grip for the glue. Strength of CA is much higher than for resin, so be careful. With CA you only get to glue it once - check for proper fit first... Don`t try to cut resin from pouring channels with a pair of scissors or knife, resin is very brittle and should be sawed and/or sanded. Wet-sand to avoid dust. Wash in soapy water before painting.

It's sort of like trying to see inside a cake to see if it's done without poking it. Over-patience is the only solution but I sympathize with you as I've watched some of these assymetric mix molds cure for days and I'm too impatient. > shows some slight tackiness.

Hmm...I think there's more depth to this statement than meets the grammarian dissecting the sentence :-) If I could think away my gaffs with too much glue here, glue in the wrong place there, scratching the wing finish while installing struts, applying too much paint when brush-painting small parts, breaking pieces off with 3 of my thumbs while I use the fourth to attach something, etc. I guess I could build clean too, Gregg. Problem is, as much as I wish them away, I've still got these 4 thumbs. They aren't a big problem with my large flying models but get them near a 1/72 scale biplane and all hell breaks loose...along with a few parts. > model between each assembly step and paint coat as well.

The work on your Nieuport looks like the images of finished models I have in my mind when I'm building. Only my models don't don't come as close to looking like the images as yours do. Not even ;-) > Building clean(as in neat, precise, not sloppy)IS much harder than building > weathered. However, I like a little weathering. The trick is to build clean, > then weather on top of the clean. Even your oil stains are "clean" Building clean is a mindset. OH my aching neurons. DON'T RUSH TO FINISH THE MODEL FOR DEADLINES. Ain't that right Matt ;-) Seriously, I am constantly trying to improve in all the areas you mentioned. With varying degrees of success I might add. I guess it's like when you first learn the actual steps of building. One model has a nice interior, another posed control surfaces and a third has a near perfect paint job. But it's not until several models down the road that you put all the skills together in one model. There is always room for improvement in mental attitude as well as modeling skills... I think you showed us there is a lot more of it than we thought there was. > Hope this helps! It sure does. I used to assemble models and paint them, seams and all, Then I saw a copy of FSM and saw what was possible. That Nieuport is just slap full of possibilities. :-) I like the car idea. I have a kit of a 46 Ford like the 1:1 I used to own. I may try that soon. Getting a perfect finish on a car kit is definitely an exercise in building clean. sp ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2002 20:38:14 -0800 From: "Gregg Cooper" To: "WWI list" Subject: My E-mail server is having a problem.....

The guitar has a patent of '98, another of '06 and a final one pending in 1910. . for those in the know it is a Gibson L-3 archtop acoustic with a very deep V profile neck to it . . The mandolin is a Washburn of uncertain vintage except for the fact (and this is the OT part). that the owner's grandfather carried it overseas with him in WWI and it is in a OD coloured case with serial number on it. This is pretty well still in mint condition and looks most striking . the violin has a date inside of it as 17xx ..
