  • Sailplane & Towplane Scale Model Kits
    Sailplane & Towplane Advice You Can Trust Awesome Support Scale Model Kits Great Products February, 2011 Overview I have long been a fan of scale sailplane models. A nice sailplane model, like any work of art, is enjoyable to look at. Sailplanes are certainly elegant and efficient machines. When I look at a sailplane model, I see the lovely long wings, and the purpose built aerodynamically optimized fuselage, but I also see the history of that particular sailplane. Every sailplane type has an interesting history. There was a person, or group of people, or company that put their hearts and minds into the development of that particular sailplane. It may have been the descendent of many, similar (or quite different) sailplanes in a long line of sailplanes. I see all that when I look at a scale model sailplane. I also see the potential for adventures to come. I see the cross‐country soaring flights that await me in the future. I guess I’m passionate about sailplanes and sailplane models. You will notice that when you visit my Scale Models web pages. I have spent a lot of time documenting each model kit. There are photos of the model parts, a scan of every page of the assembly instructions, photos of finished model kits and photos of the full‐size sailplanes the model is patterned after. You will also find historical information about the sailplane type. I try to add value with model building and terminology tips and links to web sites with tips on building scale models. 1:32 Scale, Plastic Injection Molded, The largest, most detailed and best 1:32 and 1:48 Scale, Resin, Very Nice, Larger than most other kits Paul Remde • [email protected] • www.cumulus‐soaring.com • 1‐952‐445‐9033 • Minnesota, USA Page 1 of 4 1:48 Scale, Resin, Very Nice, Larger than most other kits 1:48 Scale, Resin, Nice, For experienced modelers 1:72 Scale, Plastic Injection Molded, Very small but very nice, Easy to build A Great Way to Promote Soaring Sailplane models are more than just fun to look at.

    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.

  • History of Airfix Plastic Model Kit Instruction Sheets
    History of Airfix Plastic Model Kit Instruction Sheets As a relative novice to collecting instruction sheets, I'm not sure as to the exact 'types' of instruction sheets (in the style of type 0, 1, 1a as with the header cards), but I know the style and format of the instructions has changed over the years. I am mainly concerned with the instruction sheets from boxed kits, less colourful than the header cards, but just as interesting to collect, and come in infinitely more styles and variants. I guess these sheets also have 'type' categories and perhaps someone could clue me in as to what they are, but here goes with my interpretation of instruction sheet types through the years. My first model was the Airfix Folland Gnat, bought for my 6th birthday by the older boy next door, who then took great delight in taking it back off me, building it and then handing me back the finished model (unpainted and with no decals applied!) but I loved it. The header card was never returned and I have been unable (so far) to get a replacement. I was hooked on models from then on and started buying my own (along with my bother whose model-making skills can only be described as abysmal!!). My early models included the Fairey Swordfish, Avro Anson, Armstrong Vickers Wellington and the Hawker P1127, the physical models of which have long since disappeared but for some strange reason, I carefully stored all the instructions in various empty Airfix model boxes. On cold winter evenings I would spent hours looking at these old instruction sheets, and with the aid of my copies of early Airfix catalogues, I would select, buy and then make models that I thought were interesting, if only to add to my instruction sheet collection.

We need to balance out the effort, so that while people volunteer to work the event, they also can find time to shop with the vendors, and view all the lovely models on display. This means limiting folks to working less than half the show time, so that they can spend the other half, well, NOT working. Otherwise next year, having been overburdened, folks will baulk at the idea of putting on a show. Seattle Chapter News So if you want this Show to continue, if you want to have fun helping people out, while at the same time enjoying a great day at the region’s largest scale model contest and show, please sign up for a task slot or two at one of these areas: Registration or Raffle (both provide a seat In This Issue to sit on), Hosting, or Judging.

Drawings 79 2. Objects 85 3. Buildings 91 Introduction: The Nature of the Real Rhett Russo The challenges associated with depicting the real have played an important role in cinema, literature, art, sculpture, and philosophy, but have yet to be fully exploited by architecture. Nonetheless architecture shares many of the same ontological predicaments with these other arts—the introduction of iron, the invention of photography, and the Industrial Revolution are a few examples of crucial developments, which have significantly challenged classicist doctrine. The realist painting of the 1850s, in particular works by Gustave Courbet, confront the viewer with the realities of labor in a new way. With Courbet, reality is presented through the tensed body of the kneeling peasant in Sifting Wheat (1854) or the brokenhearted embodiment of the Wounded Man (1854). Similarly, the emaciated travelers depicted in the Raft of the Medusa (1818–19) emerged from Gericault’s careful practice of painting dead corpses—and seizing the opportunity to speculate on the aesthetics of historical events. These unusual practices formed the core in the developing aesthetic category of the “real.” As Michael Fried has remarked, the content of realist painting presents a particular challenge for historians, due in part to the shift in emphasis toward depicting the “everyday,” but also Rhett Russo Rhett Russo because its resultant strangeness dislodged it from the framework at the moment of its crew’s rescue.
