If anyone can help I would appreciate it! Thanks Ronnie ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) From: SantMin Subject: Re: Looking for models I am a little mystified, for the gentlemen looking for a North Carolina model and the one looking for Soviet ships, several were on the list of kits for sale at 30% off that you posted to the list a short time ago. I still have both in stock. Bob Santos ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Greg Subject: Re; First 2 postings Bob, Its quiet possible that these subscribers were NOT actually on the list at the time your specials sheet was posted, so for the benefit of the new subscribers, I have attached Bob's Super sheet of specials at the end of tonights list again. Ronnie, Bob has your kit at a discount rate - Drop him a note! mailto:SantMin@aol.com Greg ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) From: BatlWagon Subject: Help with Painting Wooden Decks I may have missed this earlier, but could someone help me with painting the wooden decks of my Titantic? I want to make then look like the ones shown in the movie, and like the decks of the cruise ship I was on in August. They are a teak, with black caulking in between boards. What colors do I use for teak? What is the best way to simulate the caulking? Also, on the subject of the Titantic, what references are there out there to use for accuracy in building and painting her? I am looking for Ballard's Discovery book, since I have his book on Bismark, and really like it. Is there anything else to get? Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4) From: Greg Subject: Re: Torpedo Boat PT-15 Hi All, I am on holidays for the next 7 days, I have the house all to myself, so I intend to be a modelling Maniac - Today I finished my PT Boat, (That should amaze my buddy Henry Blecha, who bought his the same day - Hows it coming along H? - Mail me if you want some proof picks:-) and I thought I would post a quick review for prospective builders. The kit is generally very good, Its quite nicely detailed and fits together really well, Until it comes time to mount the Bridge to the Weather deck, and then a little unpleasant forcing, cutting and glueing is required, as some of the locating tongue/grooves dont align properly. Throw the Yellow line away for the rails, its not accurate, & looks shocking - EEEK! When it comes time to assemble the Guns, Take a deep breath, and really take your time, and don't attempt them if your in the wrong frame of mind, its not a job you can do to blow of steam, they are REALLY detailed, with LOTS of small parts extremely close fitting, and you will need to draw on your finest skills here. And the Decals are nice, but are actually STICK on (Glue Backed), so you cut them out, peel the back and whack'em on, which is o.k. for the hull numbers, but the Torpedo Numbers, and Life Ring scribble is near impossible to work with cause it so small, and you have to dull coat over them to because they are on VERY glossy sheet, and that's all that I can fault with this one, its a really fun kit to put together, its detailed, quick to build, and looks really great when done. Well worth the Bucks! Greg ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5) From: McKellar Subject: NS Savannah Hi all, I've hacked away the molded on railings and started to fill some of the (huge) gaps between parts of the hull, deck etc..... Someone a while back mentioned a GMM detail set for this ship and scale - 1/350 - coming out "soon" - any idea when soon is???
