Does anyone have a contact person or personal experience with using tin in photo-etching? I am quickly approaching the time when I will need to make my...
Richard B, Nice job. Looks like you needed larger fins or more weight in the nose. I had a rocket that flipped over, and my friend and I had to hit the dirt...
Thanks for the compliments. Actually I believe it was a little of both. RocSim says it should have been traveling a max of 69mph on that E9 and that the four...
Hey Gang - It looks like we space modelers are very well represented in the latest IPMS Journal. There's an article by Doug Jones on making a horizontal ...
I think that Ben has extraordinary skills, any any which we too could develop, if we were diligent enough. So I say that a Master Division would not be to my...
Karl - There is a Masters division...it's made up of all those guys who take home awards. It's their work that divides them from the rest of us. Truly what...
That's when the email spell checker can't tell if 'dog' or 'Doug' is incorrect. After the message landed into my inbox, I went, well, you know. I hope that...
... Or perhaps, you should consider a new career as a bounty hunter! Yeah, it's probably too obscure for those who don't receive a certain US cable channel. --...
Does anyone have any details on the actual model of the Apollo landing craft that Grumman won the tender with? I have a series of photographs, but no...
Hey Guys - I brewed up a small batch of Smooth-On Smooth Cast 305 late last night, my first time using this particular type of resin. I had been using Smooth ...
Hey Gang - Me again! As you know from some of my previous posts, last summer at the IPMS Nats I purchased a VW Beetle model to build for my older brother as a...
Keep us posted, I am just starting to use Smooth-On products. What did you use to make your mold with? I have had good results with Alumilite but ordering from...

Karl - The mixing ratio is very important. My resin (and can probably be said for many, if not all resins,) can give poor results if the mix ratio is off by as...
I used Smooth-On Mold Max 10 for the mold. Keep us posted, I am just starting to use Smooth-On products. What did you use to make your mold with? I have had...
... Sounds like you got a bad batch of the stuff. That's happened with me twice with Smooth-On. Since I buy it in the small bottles only occasionally at retail...
OK - I figured it out. It was my bad. I was in a bit of a hurry last night to run the first test shot on the molds I made, so I didn't shake up the bottles...
I prefer using Alumilite. I like to use a little bit more of the clear than the dark. Most of my castings are small ones where rather than measure by volume,...
Thanks, George. I never heard of heating the molds. Neat idea. Karl ... From: space-modelers@yahoogroups.com [mailto:space-modelers@yahoogroups.com] On...
All polyurethane resins will have problems with temperature. Too hot and things cure really quickly, too cold and they cure too slowly-- these are the common...
Norman: Good News, bad news. Bad News, went to Space Walk Hall of fame and they have no models of OPF or VAB at that location. I was surprised, since I...
Hello, I just came up with the idea to make a paper model of the Airstream MQF, the same one as used by the astronauts after their return from the Moon. Today...
... Erik, I can't help with the basic info, but I just uploaded eight pictures I took of the MQF which is on display at the NASM Udvar-Hazy center. They're in...
Rick, Thanks, that was fast ! I think the picture of the text on top, next to the NASA logo is a very important one, since this one shows the type of font...

From what I have noticed on my own kits, the gaps should be filled in, I have had several different kits of x-wings and those gaps vary by company and kit, ...
