Learn About the International Model Car Builders' Museum!
Learn about the International Model Car Builders’ Museum! e International Model Car Builders’ Museum was founded in 1987 to preserve the history of the scale vehicle hobby. Before the Museum opened its doors, early leaders of the Museum spent years acquiring historical information, letters between hobby person- alities, collections of the famed magazines of the Sixties as well as obtaining models built by historic builders whose craftsmanship helped dene the hobby. From the earliest days of the Museum, one chief goal of the eort was to gather together the largest possible collection of information, models, artifacts and documents so that hobbyists and schol- ars, decades in the future, would have a central place to research the wonderful history of the great model car hobby. In 2000, the Museum moved to a 1,200 square foot facility organized by subject matter, and a very substantial in Sandy, Utah. At the new location, there was nally collection of vintage and contemporary paints, adhesives, enough room to unpack the many historic items previously putties and Auto World items were nally unpacked and purchased or donated. For the rst time, the library was placed in cabinets. e Museum also hosts a bank of ling organized and thousands of magazines were placed in cabinets (lled with thousands of printed items), dozens of archival plastic sleeves and then stored in protective binders. event videos, plaques, air boxes, Augie Hiscano and Mike Also, models from both famed and obscure modelers were Johnson models, and the Dave Shuklis collection and more. e Museum features the famed Oakland Roadster Show Diorama and received, by donation in 2009, the incredible “TV Merc” from the family of legendary builder John Estlow who passed away before he could visit the Museum. -

As you who made the meeting are aware, I had only 90 percent completed of this Sheet and had a printout to share there if anyone wanted to see. This past 30 days my life events intervened in such an order to leave me without sleep or several projects finished on time. No one said it would be easy nor that we get out alive. Year is moving rapidly to a close, yet fortunate to have still several fine events new or returning. A vote of confidence in future being better than present, all of them. As they require a great deal of plan ahead plus host bet it’s worth financial risk committing to them. I encourage all to make as many of these as you might, even if you’re not necessarily in a mind set that it seems an easy choice. -

Making Dioramas The Tawhiti Museum uses many models in its displays – from ‘life-size’ fi gures, the size of real people – right down to tiny fi gures about 20mm tall - with several other sizes in between these two. Why are different sizes used? To answer this, look at the Turuturu Mokai Pa model. The fi gures and buildings are very small. If we had used life-size fi gures and buildings the model would be enormous, bigger than the museum in fact –covering several hectares! So to make a model that can easily fi t into a room of the museum we choose a scale that we can reduce the actual size by and build the model to that scale – in the case of the Turuturu Mokai Pa model the scale is 1 to 90 (written as 1:90) – that means the model is one ninetieth of real size – or to put it another way, if you multiply anything on the model by 90, you will know how big the original is. A human fi gure on the model is 20mm – if you multiply that by 90 you get 1800mm - the height of a full size person. So as the modeler builds the model, by measuring anything from life (or otherwise knowing its size) and dividing by 90 he knows how big to model that item – this means the model is an accurate scale model of the original – there is no ‘guess work’. How do we choose which scale to make a model? There are three main considerations: 1) How much room do we have available for the display? Clearly the fi nished model needs to fi t into the available space in the museum, so by selecting an appropriate scale we can determine the actual size of the model. -

Penknife Models Part III 1/24Th Spitfire Part IV Later Projects Appendix the Halibag
Accurate Model Parts Contents Part I Introduction Part II 1/120th Penknife Models Part III 1/24th Spitfire Part IV Later Projects Appendix The Halibag Part I – Introduction any model-makers begin building their first kits at a tender age. They may have been M encouraged by parents who recognise the benefits of model-making for a growing child. In the process of following step by step instructions, the youngster can develop creativity and organisational skills, together with an ability to operate in a methodical manner. My own interest in model-making and aviation was handed to down to me from my father John Martindale. I was taught from an early age how to build and paint models, partly so that I would break my own planes rather than his. By the age of twelve or so, with scores of 1/72nd planes under my belt, I built a much larger model: a 1/24th scale Airfix Spitfire Mk.1a. A little later I was surprised to learn that my grandfather, J. H. Martindale, had also built his own version of R. J. Mitchell‟s fighter in 1/24th scale. When I was shown the hand-carved scratchbuilt wooden model I could see it was a generational leap beyond my own plastic Spitfire. It changed my whole perception of model-making, showing me there was a whole world beyond simple kit-bashing. The main focus of this article is the scratchbuilt wooden Spitfire built by my grandfather in 1944 / 1945. His 1/120th scale hand-carved wooden aircraft models and a few of his other projects are also included. -
Celebrating the Centennial of Naval Aviation in 1/72 Scale
Celebrating the Centennial of Naval Aviation in 1/72 Scale 2010 USN/USMC/USCG 1/72 Aircraft Kit Survey J. Michael McMurtrey IPMS-USA 1746 Carrollton, TX [email protected] As 2011 marks the centennial of U.S. naval aviation, aircraft modelers might be interested in this list of US naval aircraft — including those of the Marines and Coast Guard, as well as captured enemy aircraft tested by the US Navy — which are available as 1/72 scale kits. Why 1/72? There are far more kits of naval aircraft available in this scale than any other. Plus, it’s my favorite, in spite of advancing age and weakening eyes. This is an updated version of an article I prepared for the 75th Anniversary of US naval aviation and which was published in a 1986 issue of the old IPMS-USA Update. It’s amazing to compare the two and realize what developments have occurred, both in naval aeronautical technology and the scale modeling hobby, but especially the latter. My 1986 list included 168 specific aircraft types available in kit form from thirty- three manufacturers — some injected, some vacuum-formed — and only three conversion kits and no resin kits. Many of these names (Classic Plane, Contrails, Eagle’s Talon, Esci, Ertl, Formaplane, Frog, Griffin, Hawk, Matchbox, Monogram, Rareplane, Veeday, Victor 66) are no longer with us or have been absorbed by others. This update lists 345 aircraft types (including the original 168) from 192 different companies (including the original 33), many of which, especially the producers of resin kits, were not in existence in 1986, and some of which were unknown to me at the time. -
