If a photo shows up here it was inadvertant. I thought I was posting on abms. There is one there right now. Sorry for any problems the photo might cause here.

Ah, dust, the modeller's bane! Obviously that one was caught in mid-cycle. Good thing I remembered I built that 30+ years ago. I see about a half-dozen things that bug me about it. I'm hoping that I do a much better job on the Eduard kit I got to replace that. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. >> >If a photo shows up here it was inadvertant. I thought I was posting on >> >abms.

I sold it on E-bay a while back so restoration's not possible - for me. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. > >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. > All the 25 year old models I had stored in cardboard boxes under the basement stairs were filthy with dust that wouldn't blow off, even with the compressed air cans. The ones I showed over in abms had to be washed. I sprayed them with Windex, let them sit a half minute, brushed the heavy looking stuff with an artist's brush (mostly the top sides), and then rinsed them with warm water under the kitchen faucet (closing off the drain!). I gently shook the water out, and then placed them in front of a 65W Plant grow lamp for a few minutes.

I remember one of the magazines running an article on cleaning models a long time ago. It consisted of lukewarm soapy water applied with Q-tips. I did that once. It just took so long with the vast quantity of plastic I had then. It's generally an excellent method if you have a few models. One thing I tried for the masses was the static dust cloths available in packs at the grocery. They do a fabulous job where they can be used but they will grab antennae and pitots, sometimes right off. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. > If a photo shows up here it was inadvertant.

The one with the floats - naw, didn't see a thing in here. >There is one there right now. > Sorry for any problems the photo might cause here. > > Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr Maybe for some of the slow poking grognards who download and read offline because they're paying by the second for their news feeds - but not me ;-) Looks pretty good, Bill.

I haven't received any replies to the last couple of emails I sent. Cheers Ultan > > If a photo shows up here it was inadvertant. I thought I was posting on > > abms. There is one there right now. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Cheers > Ultan Hmmm, what was the last thing you sent? I got one that the Tempest had arrived at last. I know I answered that one. Bill Banaszak |
