Repair shop begs to report 12.16.08

	Greetings all; I have gone back and repaired the lost images to the Eduard Camel Combo build. There is still one broken for now but the kit build images are all back.

Re: Repair shop begs to report 12.16.08

	I had started this one long ago for this build-- but ran into some issues. First-- I made a boo boo with Eduard's painting instructions. I assumed that the darker shaded color on the instructions was the darker of the two colors in the scheme-- when in actuality it wasn't. Unfortunately, I had already decaled it when I discovered this-- so Lufbery's scheme is the exact reverse of what I have depicted. Soon after that- it fell off the washer where it was perched after a rather vigorous spin cycle. SO...until this past weekend it sat unfinished. We had a power outage this weekend from the ice storm and I spent the day Saturday fixing the broken pieces and then rigging and adding the fiddly bits. Nonetheless-- thanks to the generous end date on this GB, it's done. Not my best work-- but not bad for my first biplane I guess. I am amazed at how small these were compared to the WWII birds I usually build! Mike

	Stephen- Smart looking Camel, love the woodgrain effects! Jeeves- Outstanding little Nieuport! Can't see any evidence of her tumble in the photos. Your build really makes me want to move my Bebe up the list in the build pile! I added your finished build to page 1, thanks for being a part of it! Frank

Don't beat yourself up over these issues. I have seen far worse attempts of this scheme. The cool thing is it is decently done and you finished. Next time things will go a bit easier. Model On!

	Nicely done Stephen. I completed an eduard 1/48 Nieuport 17 myself fro this GB and I'm very impressed with your results. Did you have trouble with the interplane V-struts the way I did? Mine refused to attach flushly and I ended up with an unsatisfactory result.

Re: Knights of the Sky WWI GB 9/29/2007 to 12/31/2008

	Daywalker-- thanks for having me-- it is definitely a step out of my comfort zone. Might have to pick up another WWI bird for the next build-- I have a Revell Sopwith in the stash but I am not sure that one would be so enjoyable... Stephen-- Thanks for your comments. Seeing your work-- it means a lot. There are others I am anxious to try out-- always liked the look of a Spad XIII... Mike

	Mike, That really did turn out nice, so don't beat yourself up. Stephen, Your work continues to amaze me. Thanks for the links, and I did write down the directions on the fabric process this time. One quick question, how are you putting together those multi-photo pictures in your postings? They look great, and take up less space than typical photos. Scott

Greetings Scotty

I use a light green image and cut and paste them inplace with an imaging program. "Microsoft Pictureit!" is mostly what I use. I like the multiple image block but most people want the finished build to be a bit higher in resolution.

So with that. . . . drum roll please!

	With pleasure Stephen! Another stunning example of a not-often-modeled subject. Love the weathering on this one, very authentic looking. Thanks for another awe-inspiring piece of work. Gents, that makes 34 completed builds here. Is this amazing, or what? Frank

	Stephen, Wonderful work once again! Just out of curiosity, have you heard any comments about Eduard decals for the DH2 Weekend kit that I just finished? The white used to make the decals appear to be faded came off in spots when I set them in place with Micro Sol. The decals were not damaged, the top color just came off in random spots. Scott
