I think that we all take this art thing too seriously.Why cant we just enjoy what we do and let it go at that.In the end it really doesnt matter, just be creative and follow your instincts. If doors seem to open to you easily then I beleive that you are on the right trail.If you do art only for money or ego or recognition you are bound to be disappointed. Art is none of that. I beleive that art is that little creative voice in all of us .Artists are just people who have had the courarge to try,to risk being a beginner again,to conquer the fear of failure.Art gives us permission to be children again and see the world in a different light. Anyway thats my story and i am sticking with it. Now goodnite from this 63 year old artist/child.Cheers! John.

Here it is folks that last class I had developed specifically for our topic here. I wanted to preface this with member JohnReid's comment from the previous class. My response is Bravo! We shouldn't take our selves too seriously. The links provided here are meant for your enjoyment,. If you can gain anything from them, I hope its that modelers rise to the level that is comfortable to them and then make a concious choice to stay put or move on. Being here at our little corner of the 'drome' Everyone can pose questions and find answers. Now I'm off to continue my field studies in the mating habits of the fullbreasted coed. Model on!!!

Okay here is my question........when will we see publication of this research? I hope it is just a photo book as I would rather not have it cluttered up with words. Do you need any profiles of these "coeds."

Now I usually just work off photos but in this case I would rather take a more "hands on" approach and make a careful study of the subjects in person.

WILL WORK FOR FREE B)

Ditto, wingstrut. I'd like to know when this opus magnus will be coming out. Should include mucho "how-tos" for those of us with Alzheimers.

Anyway, model on

Thanx for the offer gents but there are certain requirements that may ...prevent you from partaking. This particular venue would probably be unfit for publication of said findings. (Someone would push the 'daddy button'.) I wouldn't want to put our glorious, semi-omni-potent/present lord high imperious webmaster to any heartache or consternation over the presentation of said findings. Also as I must keep the subjects free of ummm contamination. I'm afraid I'm must be the only one to be 'hands on' as it were. Their tremendously skidish when not imbibing fruictose and aclohol. But I can tell you that I have decided to continue the study beyond the coed stage. My baseline of 100 subjects will expand to 300 including the not so full breasted category coeds and I'm going to expand the studies in another area, that is beyond the continental United States. I feel its important to view the international venues as well. Though donations are accepted to help in the operations as it were.

Model on!!!!!

[StephenLawson]

Now on to the subject. I propose that we each leave some 'how to basics' here for future generations of stringbag modelers. While there are several good soft cover monographs on the subject of modeling in general. Most of you have heard me blather on about what I do for about two years now. Shirley, you have found some ways beyond my comprehension. Lets begin.

When practicing the DURAS method of rigging multiplane aircraft always work at applying you adhesives from the upper surface of the top wing and bottom surface of the lower wings. doing this eliminates you having to work in the bay areas and scraping excess glue away from the struts and set rigging lines. The listed surfaces being free from obstructionscan be trimmed and scrapped freely. Touch up and dull coat as a last step.

Just a refresher for a fellow modeler in Germany

[topgun56]

Really difficult getting my cordless drill between the wings for the proper hole alignment.

As for other subject..."Girls Gone Wild" already been there.

Dear Prof Lawson;

My Dear Old Roo Matilda has problems when she tries to glue with CA very small after market PE parts to her models. The CA and the part usually get stuck in her fur, leading to me having to cut it out of her fur for her. This explains why dear Matilda is looking a bit tatty.

I keep telling her not to worry about expensive after market bits but she insists on trying to use them.

How can I get her to see some reason?

Can she build a show stopper without PE?

And what about multi-media kits? - should they be included in OOB categories or Enhanced categories at competitions?

PS: Are the co-eds you're meeting the same ones you were 'chatting' to prior to your recent interlude with Dr Marinus? B) h34r:

[StephenLawson]

Greetings Neil_E; Your 'Roo' needs help is it? Me thinks that there be a bit of transference here. Lets call it like it is mate. We are all friends here. The truth is it is you thats having the rum go at PE. In the day light of truth you just need amplified vision. An optivisor is just the ticket to help your "Roo" see what needs doing. You have to admit that the 'Roo' wax you are so fond of has to be the culprit with Matti's Knappy fur delimma. Lay off the wax tin and with in days Matti will be as right as rain! As for the coeds well, I showed a few of my premier subjects from the 'bikini swim team at the Ursula Andress school of future sex symbols' your pros on the subject. We all had a good laugh! Keep em flying down under old man!

With my luck, if I could get half a man it'd be the half that eats.

mutter mutter mutter... Don't say it Stephen. Don't say it... remember this is a website where young ones and Ginger come to learn about WWI modeling... Ahem, why yes ACC Cadet I can see where that would be a real detrimate.

Stephen, perhaps your tongue would come untied if I cut 'n pasted to your 301 thread(?)

Let me say that It was my evil twin! He is locked away in his cage modeling a 1/48 Pfalz D.VIII even as we speak. I have forbidden him from further writing forays. Now back to my field studies!!!

Actually, I told myself I wasn't gonna touch this thread, but, hey!
