I'm seeing some postings,not a lot...and most are spam. Concur. Between the spam, that nut job who thinks MI5 is coming for him and the raving anti-Semitic jerks there hasn't been much room for anything to do with scale models lately.

If someone doesn't fix newsgroups it is going to die there isn't someone or a "fix". we just need to talk models and share the interest a bit more. like, who make better engines for the 1/32 me 110? i'd love to convert it to a wespen geshwader gruppe aircraft with that monster bee. is there a decal? what model was that exactly? where's my mommy? >Concur.

And that is a real big shame. I think the proliferation of spam on these rec groups might be discouaraging new members. If they access the group through Google instead of a newsreader they might see two pages (20 messages) before they see an on-topic modelling related post. I think that turns them off. I have decided to hang in here *JUST* to show the spammers and trolls that I will not leave because of them. Unfortunately far too many others have left to go to moderated forums where there is much less spam and trolling. With the warm air finally getting back up here the pond ice is melting and I'll be able to spray paint out doors again. I'll be launching the hull of my HMS Hood this weekend to check her draught and trim.

Been back and fourth to the docs at UCLA...got scoped again, then caught pneumonia. Got the results last week that I have "mild" Crohn's disease...still trying to figure out what "mild" means. More drugs... Quit my band - creative diffs, coupled with thoughts that I probably won't be able to keep up with both having a day job and playing on the road, seeing as that's what they eventually want to do. But I'm still doing some session/utility type playing here locally, and may get in on a city sponsored session workshop if that pans out. Crewed a gig with another band of friends last Saturday, will probably keep doing that...but they're increasingly wanting me to play too, so...maybe...one day...

I know a couple people that have it - bad stuff, if it gets you severely. Increases my risk for colon cancer, too. Right now it looks like I'll be able to control it - I'm already eating 2250 mg of Colazal three times a day. So far that seems to be working...got some pain, but at least I'm not bleeding. I'm in the process of putting my studio back together - the heart of it was going to be an old Yamaha C-70 preamp that I was going to use to switch signal between my TASCAM 688 and a G5 iMac...really nice hybrid set up. But the volume pot on the C-70 is out in one channel and I gotta get it repaired before I can really get down to biz. I'm also still toying with buying a Mackie 24.4 Onyx board and an ADAT 24 channel HD recorder...that would really give me a pro setup. But it looks like my bikes are going to eat this year's tax return...the '03 is shorted somehow, and the '98 needs tires and a 30K service and some other luvin'. Anyway, once I get some stuff on tape I'll be posting some noise. Signature- Rufus >>>>>> hey, is everyone dead? >>>>> Not yet, but I'm workin' on it...

[quoted text clipped - 44 lines] > the irs is giving $300 to the poor. maybe i can get a full tank of gas. > let me know where you post the noise. Seems I overpaid because of a windfall after I was hospitalized and I'm getting a good chunk back, but the wagon's coming to pick up my bikes tomorrow - I need two tires and 30K service on one, and the other has a short of some kind and needs a 17.5K service...so there goes my chunk. Oh well...I'd been putting off the luvin' on the '98 for about a year, time to pay the piper. I feel like being on my wheels now that the weather's getting nice. We'll see how I hold up health-wise for trippin'. Signature- Rufus >>>>>>>> hey, is everyone dead? >>>>>>> Not yet, but I'm workin' on it... [quoted text clipped - 53 lines] >time to pay the piper.

We'll see how I hold up health-wise for trippin'. i got to show you my $300 sr. a little gem, especially for a 30 year old. i put the noisy exhaust that was on the hot rod on it to be as loud as possibel. i spent the day rebuilding the petcock, cleaning the carb and sticking a big capacitor on. i'm sick of the desert eating batteries in 2 years. it runs sweet. let's hit the road! model shop trip would be cool. how's about victorville? there's actually a hobbytown. >>>>>>>>> hey, is everyone dead? >>>>>>>> Not yet, but I'm workin' on it... [quoted text clipped - 61 lines] > let's hit the road! model shop trip would be cool. how's about victorville? > there's actually a hobbytown. I've been wanting to get to the Harley shop in V-ville for some time now. That sounds like a trip worth making. I'm hoping my ponies will only be gone a week and I'll have them back by or before next Friday. ...I think the last model I bought was a 1/32 Special Hobby X-15A-2. Can't even remember the last time I worked on one...oh, yeah - while I was off work. Working sucks...busts my muse for a lot of stuff.

I am currently working on my 1/400 Lindberg HMS Hood. Got a RC radio and a micro servo for it yesterday. I have back dated the model to how the ship appeared As Approved 1920. It is most scratch-built and/or heavilly modified. You do NOT get a HMS Hood out of this kit with out a lot of extra work.

Current count is 3,041 and just getting started. The entire database disappeared for a couple of weeks. Still don't know what happened. Started a new one in a slightly different format, so of course I found the original (with over 2,000 entries). Just finished combining them yesterday. Anyone care to participate drop me an e-mail at maiesm72@netscape.comWorking on the fifth of a series of Russian WWI/Revolution vignettes. This one is a cavalry charge down a rail line. The RPM 1/72 railroad tracks set is beautiful. Base is done, now on to the *%^#@) horses. I hate this stupid soft plastic!Also going back to the Ryan NYP-II "Spirit of Minneapolis/St.Paul". Paint job on the fuselage sides got messed up and I need to add exhaust stubs. BTW, the Rust-Oleum Brite Coat Metalic Silver worked great for the polished metal areas.Gathering kits for a "Round Wings" project. Anybody have a Fine Molds/Hasegawa Vought XF5U to spare?How long is it going to take to get rid of the knock-off con that's been flooding RMS of late?

The products and services spammer has been hitting more than just RMS for a long time. If anyone uses SLRN as their newsreader, the following rule will eliminate most if not all of it: Score: =-9999 % the chinese products and services daily spammer Expires: 02/28/2009 Message-ID: googlegroups.com {:: Subject: wholesale Subject: sneaker Subject: china } Basically, it kills any articles posted via googlegroups that have wholesale, sneaker, or china in their subject. of course, this means you might miss out on a discussion about wholesale trumpeter bargains ;) http://www.slrn.org/ John Signatureratfood@food.skaterat.net All foods should be removed to reply >> How long is it going to take to get rid of the >> knock-off con that's been flooding RMS of late?

Just to talk models here instead of our usual OT stuff, I'm working on a R-M '70 Challenger. This is the one with the metal body. I've discovered that Krylon Old Ivory works very well at matching the body colour. To be different, I wiped off (acetone) the 440 markings and am converting the engine to a 383 with parts from a Lindberg '64 Dodge 330. Once again using Krylon paints I have sprayed the interior in a satin finish bronze and am attempting to detail the dash with a silver Sharpie and another paint pen I found at Michael's. I used Humbrol's Gun Metal on the leaf springs and polished that out. It gives the springs a different texture to the gloss black structural parts. For a diversion I'm also working on a Model Power die-cast Skyraider that I have stripped of its Korean War-era Sea Blue. Also took off the 'rocket rack' but I have discovered that went below the wing's undersurfaces and I will have to re-apply after modifying them. Several rockets have been removed to make way for some iron bombs and I need to consult the spares box for some other items to hang under the wings. I'm still up in the air about the final colour scheme. SEAC camouflage would be neat but Gull Grey and White tend to call to me. So what's everybody else doing?
