The browns are unbeatable. For props and interior stuff they are the best. Here are the names (odd, but true): -Bronzed Flesh -Vomit Brown -Vermin Brown -Flesh Dark These 4 are excellent for ribs and longerons, props. The two lighter ones are the base and a variety of wash strengths can be had from the darker two. Bleached Bone is *almost* 'British CDL and could be aimed towards French or German depending on which way you aimed it. But it needs some white added to it to bring it to scale. If you did nothing but lighten it, you'd have a nice CDL. Another good couple colours is Ghostly Grey, Bolt-Gun Metal, Mithril Silver and their copper color - good for messing around with exhaust pipes. The best part: finely ground pigments, almost artist quality and their pigments are *real vivid* - they hold and mix well. > Am going to invest in some new > paint brushes, as that may be a factor as well. O man. It is. Get a pointer, fer shure, but also get a bigger one than you'd think, like a #4. The 4 is useful for broad areas of app. Make sure it has good 'snap' (comes back to shape) and for this size, one that flattens to a wedge is more useful than a point. Take care of each and don't leave them standing in the water pot. Tsk!

I might like these paints even more! Yes but this has a lot to do with the consistency of the paint. can easily be done if you are working somewhat fast n' loose, with the 'milk' consistency all of us talk about. If you are working slow and labored, and dragging the brush about, you'd start pulling up or rolling up the coat below. Safest is to wait - but if you feel like you be swangin' (sorry, bad C&W reference), hit it a lick. Stuff *is* a time saver. You can CDL the wings, come back in under an hour, work on the PC-Your-Goes-Here and then back to the CDL and so forth, in an evening. Afterwards, you can knit a Toad Sweater. oo boy, outta here. it's difficult to be a grown-up for more than a few sentences. Write me off-list Dave, I R a fan O dis paints.

Those earliest Sopwiths used an aluminum seat - certainly the Strutter and Triplane, and probably the Pup, IIRC. Pretty straightforward, especially when compared to wicker or plywood types. Merrill pointed out the Part sets (hmmm...gotta get those!) which looks like the perfect complement to the Roden kit, and fills the need for a suitable seat.

It comes with the bottle and instructions on how to proceed. The detail on the ship is fairly rudimentary and it has 3 masts. I can see you're supposed to insert the ship with the masts down and attach the mast to a string. Then, once it's inside the bottle, you use the string to pull the masts to their vertical position. How he did it with a biplane eludes me.

Easy. He got a baby Spad right thru the bottleneck and then fed it until it was of about the right size. > Sure, I know that's an obvious question but how am I supposed to find out if > I don't ask? There are two methods, as explained by the author: #1, as used in this Spad, is to assemble the model outside, keeping some hideable (does this word exists???) joints unglued and then assembling the pieces back inside the bottle. The second method is the traditional or "umbrella" method, that is as your ship model that "unfolds" inside the bottle when you pull certain string of the rigging. All very nice, but how to "fly" the aeroplane model if it's inside the bottle? Ennui!

I have actually built a dozen or so ships in the bottle and they are fairly easy to do as long as you preplan the method of the fold or the various subassemblies. Of the assorted gifts I have given my friends over the years, those are the ones that are still displayed at all their houses.
