I just received my first order of minis from Blackhat. I bought them from their USA distributer Scale Creep. I ordered an assortment of figures, several...
I have a question on Eric's paper ships. How is the Saratoga suppose to go together? Does it fit on the Eagle hull and you color in the white area, or ?? Does...
Hi Bob, There are two deck layouts in the file; one for the Eagle and one for the Saratoga. The Saratoga has a different hull shape because I was just larking...
Ah ha - the sides of the Saratoga flare out to fill the Eagle hull. Obvious to you but it was not obvious to me until I looked at your pictures! Thanks anyway,...
OK, we have a 600 ton ship moving at 50 miles and hour through air. What would my turning radius be? How quickly can I stop? I know the last can be computed...
Greetings All, Okay, yet another Dumb Rookie Question for any of the model builders on this list. ---- I am attempting to scratch build a ship in 1:72 scale...
Use a cloth pattern maker (looks like a spiky wheel on a stick) available at most fabric stores, wally worlds and hobby lobby in the cloth section. [Non-text...
Years ago, in the 1960's and 1970's, I knew some people that made some great scratchbuilt armor (AFV's) that used grains of sugar for rivets. No kidding. I...
Check www.walthers.com, these are THE model railroading people and they have tons of rivets in HO (which would be closest to 72nd) scale, and probably in O and...
As I've moved the timeline of Hive Queen and Country's back story around one thing that has bothered me is the robbery of glory from historical figures, such...
On walther's page, or at your FNRRS (Friendly neighborhood Railroad store) check out Micro Engineering This company is out of Fenton Missouri and currently has...
Take it in stride. Technology advances in fits and starts. There is a mostly unsubstantiated story of a man flying an aircraft some twenty years earlier in...
... And Welch's name gets an asterisk, too - "* and survive". Several late WW2 fighters were quite capable of going supersonic in a dive - but they weren't...
There may well have been some undocumented 'survivors' as well - but in combat conditions there was no one there to tell them about it. P-38s were well known...
Compressibility isn't the same thing. Wind tunnel tests proved that neither P-38's nor P-47's were capable of going faster than the onset of compressibility....

Like other people said I wouldn't worry about it. On a similar line as the Chuck Yeager thread the Wright brothers were almost certainly not the first people...
... And it was quite some time before the Wright brothers even announced to the world of their acheivment. Between Kittyhawk and their announcment others...
... possible that a pilot who hit such speeds might regain control of his plane before augering in. This did happen occasionally but there was no one to...
I have just added to the photo album some pictures of my efforts with squirmydad's (Eric's) paper ships. They are in the file called "Bob's Flying Circus". The...
Just a tip for those doing paper models... A very light touch of colour matched paint along the folks and cut edges of a paper or card model does wonders for...
Nice Pics! Mike: What I use, and recommend, is a fine tipped calligraphy pen in a brown or black color. It makes 'edging' very easy. Good idea! I'm used to...
Greetings Joe and All, Thanks for the idea. Along those same lines --- at the local crafts store I was eyeballing some tiny paper hole punches that I presume ...
I was finally able to get more done on the ship. I had been waiting for a tool to return to my shop. My father was a master craftsman and owned a wonderful...
Very nice, I used to be able to paint, arthritis in my right hand (too many power tools) really killed my ability to hold a small paint brush, or a pencil for...
I'm sort of shotgunning this out to various groups that would have an interest in this vessel: Cerberus is one of the last of her kind and sits decaying but...
