THE PATRIOT IPMS Patriot Chapter Newsletter Billerica, MA Pip Moss, Editor February 2018 THE PATRIOT IPMS Patriot Chapter Newsletter Billerica, MA Pip Moss, Editor www.ipmspatriot.org February 2018 The next Patriot Chapter meeting will take place on Friday, February 2, at 7:30 p.m. at the First Meeting Info Parish Unitarian Church in Billerica, MA. The church is located on Concord Road, just as it meets Route 3A (Boston Road) at the Billerica Town Common. The February meeting will be a build session with a business meeting, Show-and-Tell, and a raffle. This one-off, what-if, 1:24 scale ’93 Corvette (Revell) was built by Richard Price, who usually dazzles with his ship models. According to Richard, Roy Medina challenged him to build a car model while they were judging together at Patcon 17 last September. In order to sweeten the challenge, Richard decided to paint the model (inside and out) in the Naval Measure 31a-8B camouflage colors used on the USS Texas as it appeared in November 1944. Richard also designed, and had professionally printed, decals for the speculative centennial markings on the bonnet (Richard hails from the UK). The Texas license plate reads ‘BB35,’ the Mighty T’s registration number.

D (Tamiya), built mainly OOB, painted with Tamiya acrylics, and weathered with AKI brown wash, pastels, weathering powders and pencil. John added tow cables made from solder embossed with a file. The figures, from the kit, were painted with Vallejo acryl- ics. Decals are from the kit. Markings are for Panzer Regiment “Grossdeutchland,” Kursk, August 1943. First introduced in 1943, the Panther was intended to counter the Soviet T-34 tank and to replace the Panzer III and Panzer IV. Nevertheless, it served alongside the Panzer IV and the heavier Tiger I until the end of the war. It is considered one of the best tanks of World War II for its excellent firepower and protection, although its reliability was less impressive. While having essentially the same engine as the Tiger I, the Panther had more efficient frontal hull armor, better gun penetration, was lighter and faster, and could traverse rough terrain better. The trade-off was weaker side armor, which made it vulnerable to flanking fire. The Panther proved effective in open country and long range engagements, but did not provide enough high explosive firepower against infantry. Page 3 Show-and-Tell Gallery (continued) Frank Moore’s 1:12 scale soft plastic Marine figures (Marx). Frank added after- market rifle slings and camouflaged helmet covers. Paints are Vallejo acrylics. Frank Moore’s group of 60 mm. (1:29 scale) GIs (Marx Recast), built OOB and painted with Vallejo and Tamiya acrylics. Page 4 Show-and-Tell Gallery (continued) Dan Costa’s 1:144 scale Zeta Gundam (Bandai), built OOB. Markings are from the kit. MSZ-116 was featured in the 1985 Japanese anime televeision series, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, the first sequel to the originalMobile Suit Gundam. Page 5 Show-and-Tell Gallery (continued) Pip Moss’s 1:48 scale Curtiss Kittyhawk Mk. Ia (AMT). Mods to the kit include scratchbuilt replacement pilot’s head cushion, gun sight and canopy rails, added antenna mounting bracket on fin, and transverse landing gear struts and inner gear door actuators. After- market items include Ultracast resin seat, exhausts and wheels, Squadron vacuform sliding canopy, Eduard/Brassin British 500 lb. bomb, and Master Model ring and bead sight. Decals are from Tally Ho, Eagle Strike and Aeromaster, the latter providing the individual plane markings. They got the color of the map wrong (orange instead of red), so the decals were scanned, everything besides the orange deleted, the orange changed to red, and inkjet decals were printed to overlay the Aeromaster decals. Markings are for a Kittyhawk Ia from the very last batch of export P-40Es: it has several features that would become standard on the P-40K including the enlarged fin and the flared exhausts. The model replicates the personal mount of South African pilot DB Hauptfleisch, CO of No. 2 Squadron SAAF, North Africa, 1942. Page 6 Show-and-Tell Gallery Another of Jamie Michaels’ groups of figures from the Caen/Iron Kingdoms fantasy universe (Privateer Press). All were assembled OOB and painted with Vallejo and Polly Scale acrylics, Citadel Metallics, and Vallejo washes. Top left: The Heretic, one of the five Defiers; top right: Skin and Moans (Grymkin); bottom left/right: Rattler and Frightmare (Grymkins). Page 7 Show-and-Tell Gallery (continued) John Walker’s 1:35 scale Sturmpanzer IV “Brummbär” (late) (Tamiya), built OOB, painted with Tamiya acrylics, and weathered with AKI brown wash, pastels, weathering powders and pencil lead. Figures are from the kit and were painted with Vallejo acrylics. Decals are from the kit. Markings are for the 219th Assault Tank Battalion, Eastern Front, Spring 1945. Introduced into service in 1943, the Sturmpanzer was a development of the Panzer IV tank designed to provide direct infantry fire support, especially in urban areas. It used a Panzer IV chassis with the upper hull and turret replaced by a new casemate-style armored superstructure housing a new gun, the 15 cm. Sturmhaubitze 43 L/12 developed by Skoda. Thirty-eight rounds, with separate propellant cartridges, could be carried. The combined weight of shell and cartridge was nearly 100 lbs, which made the work of the loader arduous, especially if the gun was elevated to a high angle. The Sturmpanzer was nicknamed “Brummbär” (German for “grouch”) by Allied intelligence, but the Germans didn’t use the name, instead referring to it casually as “Stupa,” a contraction of Sturmpanzer.

    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.

Moore Master of Arts Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures September 2017 Title: Inside the Boy Inside the Robot: Mobile Suit Gundam and Interiority Mobile Suit Gundam (1979-1980) is an iconic series in the genre of television anime featuring giant fighting robots, embedded in a system of conventions developed across decades of media aimed at boys that emphasizes action and combat. In this thesis, I argue that Gundam foregrounds the interiority of its main character Amuro, challenging conventions governing the boy protagonist. Using Peter Verstraten's principles of film narratology and Thomas Lamarre’s theory of limited animation, I find in Gundam's narrative strategies sophisticated techniques developed to portray his inner life.

  • Gundam: Universal Century
    Gundam: Universal Century Well, here you are at the longest-running universe in the Gundam franchise. What a horrid place to live indeed- space Nazis, colony drops, human experimentation, treaty disputes, a return to the guillotine and more all await you here. This runs from 0079 (the events of Mobile Suit Gundam) all the way to 0153 (the events of Victory Gundam) roughly give or take a year or two. You think war never changes, Jumper? War changes all the time- it’s the men that fight the wars that never change. Anyways, enough faux-philosophical drabble- +1000 CP -you’re a Jumper; you know what to do here. Good luck. Part I- Time Period Of course, being the longest fiction universe written in Gundam there’s a lot of works here to choose from. Roll a d8, or pay 50 CP to pick your poison. Any of the series mentioned on the number may be chosen. 1- Mobile Suit Gundam (Includes MS-IGLOO): The original series, following the actions of Amuro Ray- Newtype, MS builder and ‘White Devil’. The original one anyways, before a certain girl stole his title. His enemy is the Federation of Zeon, most especially its masked ace The Crimson Comet- Char Aznable. Their rivalry shall shape the UC in the coming years. This period also includes MS-IGLOO, which focuses on the actions people tried to take during important events of the One Year War. The series is mostly Zeon-focused, and features many of its pilots and prototype MS. (Earth Federation, Zeon) 2- Gundam Interquel Stories (08th MS Team, War in the Pocket, Stardust Memories): In-between the major installments of Gundam and Zeta, the events of these 3 series happened.

Les différentes dimensions : Page 7 4. Importance dans la culture populaire : Page 15 2 1 : Naissance de Mobile Suit Gundam et explications Mobile Suit Gundam (Kidō Senshi Gandamu en Japonais) ou Gundam plus couramment est une franchise d’animation Japonaise créée par Yoshiyuki Tomino et Hajime Yatate pour le studio d’animation Sunrise en 1979. Elle appartient au genre « Mecha », restant assez classique dans son thème de science-fiction mais est très innovatrice de par sa volonté du réalisme, aussi bien à travers sa narration qu’à ses éléments technologiques. Malgré des débuts difficiles, Gundam à réussi à se faire un nom en 1980 jusqu’à nos jours. Aujourd’hui, la franchise comporte une trentaine de séries, d’OAV (Original Animation Video) et de films. Mais aussi une dizaine de mangas, de romans, de jeux-vidéos et même de parodies (SD Gundam). En 1979, les japonais voyaient débarquer sur leurs écrans une nouvelle série de science- fiction nommée Kidô Senshi Gundam (appelée plus communément Mobile Suit Gundam). Dans cette série il y avait des mechas, mais pour la première fois depuis des années, le rôle de ces robots n'est pas super important. Ici, ces monstres de métal ne sont pas indestructibles, ils ne sont pas des armes ultimes et sont encore moins destinés à sauver le monde d'une menace extra-terreste (par exemple). Pour la première fois dans une série d'animation de science-fiction avec des mechas, les personnages jouent un rôle déterminant dans une guerre qui fait rage.
