Hi, Cough, Cough kraaa-haak All;

How much ventilation is cough cough cough cough cough cough kwaar - ach-ach spit, is enough?

Personally I think a lot, thats why I have to use my oxygen bottle kweeer-ack spit all the time!

For most things for me an open window does fine, though I use a spray booth for airbrushing and tend to use Zip kicker only in the spray booth. I also put it in old empty Revell Contacta bottle (the plastic one with the needle applicator) to cut down further on fumes.

Cough Cough cough kwerak spit cough cough. I think ventalation should be enough to ensure a unadulterated supply of air to the lungs. (excuse me while I butt my cigarette out....Kwweerack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack, haaarck spit.

All the ack ack ack spit best

The Good Herr Doktor Von Humbrol liked a lot of ventilation when he worked on his showstoppers (IPMS Bognor Grand Champion 1923-1938); that is why he often modeled in the nude!

Herr E, can you confirm that it was the Herr Doktors unfortunate skin condition which gave rise to the term "scratch building"?

Let me see if I'm clear here:

Eating paint is *. . ."bad for you"?

There's just got to be a better way to get my brush to come to a point. . .

Am still attempting to measure the molarity of the entire workroom and will report findings later in this thread.

ps. Is this an opening for the Coyote Ugly joke?
The Two-Bagger? Paper or Plastic?

Karl Otto;

No, that was something he caught from Madame Dymphnova while in the Ukraine in 1919 when he visited Nestor Makhno.

He used a cream for that condition otherwise the flaky bits used to gum up his seams.

In 1939 he renounced nude modeling upon hearing that Lavrenty Beria was practising the art. His skin condition cleared up shortly afterwards. Alas however he never won an IPMS Bognor Grand Champion Award from that time onwards.

The Good Herr Doktor always asserted that the renowned fifth columnist and mistress of disguise Dymphna could always be identified by the strange rash she had shaped like a map of Tasmania. Doktor Von Humbrol believed that this rash was the source of his affliction.

It may be possible that this is where the term "scratch-building" came from, however the Good Herr Doktor shared his shameful secret with only a few trusted friends; Professor Count Guido Italeri, and Patrick "The Megaphone" O'Belcher being primary amongst these. Of course Dymphna, always on the lookout to sully The Good Herr Doktor's name, may have been responsible.......

HTH

Just thought I'd drop you a line to say that Great Aunt Dymphna is now back from her around the world cruise to celebrate her 106th birthday. This has been paid for from the dividends from her shares in the Teeny Tiny Parts Co, which is bouyant after its recent successful sale of the Glencoe Institute.

p.s. Great Aunt Dymphna is most excited about the latest range that Teeny Tiny will be bringing out soon. Apparently they have been experimenting in the world of nanotechnology! Soon they will be offering (to the discerning modeller, of course) 1/72 scale RAF pilots uniform buttons (with embossed insignia), Spark plugs, Fokker fabric eyelets, clevis pins and split pins for airframe rigging and eventually a range of fully working pilots watches.

Curse You Dymphna!!! >:

Is there no end to your perfidy!!!!

Teeny Tiny Parts Corporation Grrrrr!!!! >

106th Bbirthday my eye! The old trollope is 112 if she's a day! Why just ask Edward the Seventh!

I just hope her 19 year odl gigolo tires of her soon!

Embossed RAF pilots buttons? Its an AMS diasaster!

Thank the Lord for the Modellers Organisational Diagnostic E-cademy of Liberia and The Good Herr Doktor Von Humbrol I say!

All the Best

Neil

PS: Dymphna: World cruise? Balderdash! We know about your extended sojourn in the Presidential Palace in Bagdhad. Cough up the dough or we turn over the tapes and spy satelite photos!

You have been warned!

My dear young Mr Neil_E,

Need I remind you and at some embarssment to myself that you too where once a student of mine when you did the hippie trail from London to Sydney? The day you rolled into my palace forecourt in your 5 color lozenge painted Kombi. Proclaiming that you where there to become the best AMS builder in the world. How my heart glowed that day. But I should of known then that you would one day turn on me.

You begged to study under me. You so wanted to master the art of AMS. You even made a windsock pump in 1/144th scale. Or the many happy hours you had making rivets in said scale for those horrid kits of WWII planes.

I will never forget the day I found THAT photo in your wallet. A photo of Herr Doktor Humbrol. How that face made me feel sick. I just wanted to smash all your Tiny Parts. But no I took pity on you and played along. I even let you build in 1/48th scale. How that size hurt my old eyes.

You think I didnt know about your spying? Well I did. Our nights of wild model making passion changed when I found that photo. i couldnt look at your tiny parts from then on.*

One day I shall get you back. You and your Modellers Organisational Diagnostic E-cademy of Liberia. You have been warned.

RLWP · 19 February 2003, 10:14 AM

Aunty,
come away from that naughty computer. You know how it upsets you so.

Now, lets have a nice cup of tea and maybe a biscuit, and then we'll have a nice little chat about those interesting pictures and documents you got from that terrible Mr Hussein. I'm sure we can find someone who would like to buy them. Then, maybe you could go on another nice cruise, perhaps purchase another modelling institute.

Yes, I know dear, such a frightening moustache.

Karl Otto · 19 February 2003, 10:24 AM

Herr E, I have studied at length the satelite picture you were kind enough to send me and have ony two questions. Which way up should it be? And what is the chap in the latex balaclava holding in his left hand?

Dymphna, how nice to hear from you after all these years. Every time it rains I am reminded of you by the static discharge from the metal plate in my left buttock. Did you ever get that stain out of your Wilton shag pile?
