The catefory was "Space - Historical - All scales", not not stinkin' Sci-fi or Misc.... :-( It was great show. We had 74 contestants, 136 attendees, and I'd ...
Rob humbly failed to mention that he also brought his "Carpenter at Sea" Mercury recovery diorama. It's a beautiful piece of work and can be seen in the photo...
I need a little advice from the masters here. I'm just finishing up my 1/12 Atomic City Mercury. I finished applying the decals and spent most of an evening...
Scott recommends "puddling" some setting solution on the area of a particular marking, laying the decal in place, and gently blowing it down into the shingle...
The Atomic City Mercury at our local show was a pretty good build, although the modeler had struggled mightly with the decals - and his application was...
I am sure glad to here this stuff now before hand. I painted the cockpit yesterday. The one big problem that I found is that very,very few have been built I...
Art, Thanks but don't worry about it. This was Rob's day. Sorry you couldn't make it. The paper models I entered were the same ones I brought to the Nats. I...
I would have like to come to the show. (like the Cubs, maybe next year!) My wife was out of town so I was on 'daddy duty'. Glad to hear it was a good show. Art...
From our CSM October Newsletter: In fact, our attendance numbers (and these are early returns) were 190 general admissions, and 74 contestants who entered 266...
The Region 2 Convention is coming up at Virginia Beach on the 21st and I thought I check and see if anyone else from the group is planning on attending and, if...
I too had no problems with the decals, indeed I thought that for such large decals they went on very easily without any buckling on all four models I built....

Wow. I guess if I hadn't entered my paper models there would have less than the required five entries in the category. You would have been thrown to the...
Anyone know of any hobby shops or sources of the toy Madelman 2001 figures in Valencia, Spain ? GK [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Guys, I've returned from Baikonur and the 16th World Spacemodeling Championships, and have posted a few selected photos from our tour of the Cosmodrome: ...
Michael- One little trick I have tried is diluting Microscale's Micro CrystalKlear with water and swabbing that on the back side of the decals with a Qtip. If...
Great images. I would love to see more of the Soyuz Launch pad. The Security babes are alright too. ;) David Guertin BLAP! Models www.blapmodels.com ... ...
Anyone here bid or win this auction for the Tamiya 1/70 scale Apollo kit? http://tinyurl.com/gyv8n I've never seen any decent photos of this kit built and I...
It is a truly rare kit. I aquired mine about 15 years ago from a modeler in Japan. It is not accurte in comparison to Glenn's CSM in 1/72. I do not believe it...
I never even knew this kit existed. I'd love to get one but at that price its not going to happen. I'll just keep looking at Hobby Shows. :) David Guertin ...
I've never seen one with an SLA in it either. In the states at least, the CSM and LM kits were sold separately in smaller boxes. So, the SLA adaptor looks to...
This is just a hunch. But perhaps freezing the piece and exposing it to high humidity could get some moister under the skin to where you could push it down....
... One thing I've liked about the various Japanese kits in general was the box art which was usually quite close to the actual block 2 version of the ...
Hello all, OK someone refresh my memory here please.... "Silvering"? I know I should know this but I am having a brain fart right now. Thanks guys for the...
Neil- Silvering is a bad thing.... caused by a decal not snuggly fitting on the surface of a model and resulting in pockets of air between the surface and...
