It mixes with Future or acrylic paints, comes in a flat or gloss version, thins well (but I'm not sure how it does at the very extremes of dilution), and drys to a firm, but not brittle, finish. Ship modelers often use it as an 'ocean' for bases. It has some glueing properties, but mainly just easy to apply and dries slowly enough that it can be shaped and mistakes removed. It shrinks some as it dries. .Mark. <<<>>> >>Does anyone have suggestions as to what to use as an >> "ink"?

I hope my idea isn't duplicated already. Anyway, I replaced some rib detail using masking tape and Mr. Surfacer. I used the tape to mask either side of the rib tape. Then I filled in between the two pieces of tape. I removed the tape and sanded it slightly to blend it in. Worked great! Your milage may vary, Later!

This is a good issue with lots of great content, but rather than bore you with that I just wanted to draw everyone's attention to the main article, which is the first part (more next issue) by Tom Morgan on the building of his prize-winning DH2. This is *stunning* beyond belief. The level of detail he has incorporated in this model is unbelievable, Tom truly takes modelling to a new level of masochism (as Uggie always says). There are some in progress shots in the WWI gallery, but the photos in Windsock really do this plane justice. Tom, if you're still out there, it's tremendous work! BTW I also really enjoyed Shane's pics of his Aviatik DI. Shane, you did a really nice job on that build and colour scheme and inspired me to dig out my Choroszy 1/72 DI.

(read "irked") I'm really looking forward to getting it; Tom's work always makes me wonder what I'm doing in this sort of thing. Serves as an inspiration to us plodders to strive for upward and onward, I suppose. Wish I was making more progress. Aside from Harry Woodman, I wonder what Ray Rimell would do for input if it weren't for the WWI Models listees. A "Catch 22" thing, I expect, what's a better source for material on his side and what's a better forum to showcase and promote the hobby on our side. Anyhow, I'm glad it works. Congrats Tom, even if I haven't yet seen the issue (grump ;-() I know I'll enjoy it.

Now *I* am not sure what you need to know, so bear with me if I'm belabouring the obvious. The separate upper cowl part has a raised line along its lower edge. I assembled the kit and left it there (first photo), but on reflection I decided it was overscale and removed it (second photo). Once done, there was no distinction between the upper part representing the metal cowl, and the lower part, representing the wooden sides, except at the rear under the cockpit on the starboard side, where it's *too* distinct. All I intend to do is fill the too deep bit, and rescribe that shallowly to match the line on the rear fuselage part, and rescribe the fore part a little more deeply to represent the removable cowl. On which subject, I suspect I've gone to too much trouble lining things up - photos of the D.III show that the cowl is very ill fitting at times - to the extent that you could get a hand into the gaps !

Not a lot of WW1 on display, but there was a very nice scratchbuilt Short 184 in the competition, but it wasn't placed. A little diorama of Rudolph Berthold's Pfalz won a silver, but for the figures, not the aircraft. A RNAS Lanchester Armoured Car won gold in its class. I displayed my MoS L on the club stand. While I was browsing the dealers I found something I didn't realise even existed- a 1:144 Siemens Schuckert R1 by Blue Rider, vacform and brass. After drooling for a while I had a look inside, and realised I wasn't going to be man enough to build it - if only it had been in 1:72 :-( I did come away with a couple of OT kits, and RPM machine Gun Carrier, and an Emhar A7V regards Steve =========================================== steve@oldglebe.freeserve.co.uk http://www.oldglebe.freeserve.co.uk/steveshome.html http://www.bramptonscalemodelclub.fsnet.co.uk If I didn't spend so much time on line ‹‹ I'd get some models finished ================ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2003 08:32:29 +1000 From: "Shane Weier" To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: @ StE : Roden 3 part wings.

Neither do I but my employer does ;-) At home I use the glass out of an old picture frame. The glass is laid on top of my working surface and despite not being hardened glass (which I'd recommend) has survived many years of modelling accidents like dropped tools and paint bottles. A glass surface is a pain for some things, but nice when you need a flat surface that's almost impossible to glue stuff onto.
