I'll see if I can work up something about aftermarket that is bare bones basic...gotta keep those fundementals fresh in our minds. Remember if you have a question about something covered in the newsletter, just drop me a note, I'll answer the question by email and in the newsletter.

GErald, I really enjoy getting your newsletters and learning, been back to the hobby for a year after a 25 year absence! So I am a newbie.... but, my suggestions would be..

types of AM.. resin, PE, types of PE, metal, etc. Not HOW to use them technique wise, but how/when... resin tires are good for a/c, metal barrels neato for armor, and you really need PE rails for ships. Where should a newbie/rookie start in the AM world?

"novel" tips, such as the one you sent (3 enews ago?) about using those light thingies as navigation lights.

I learned from your sanding stick newsletter, took me a bit to figure out all the grits, what to use for what, etc

Thanks again for your efforts!

What your asking for is a monumentous undertaking...however someone is already on it. I learned just yesterday of a person who is doing just that. Once the project is complete, it will be the go to source for color/paint information. I don't want to steal anyones thunder so I will wait until it happens, then pass along the information.

The differences in brands of paint. With all the various brands out there, a pamphlet telling us what brands have the better range for (German armor, modern armor, WW2 planes, cars, etc.), or which brands are better for air brushing, hand brushing, or also come in spray cans.

Cover which brands are compatible or not compatible. Does a specific brand produce paint that is more glossy, flatter, less of a sheen, etc.

The last one was about Polishing Sticks, kind of mundane stuff but some found it useful. I have a couple of topics related to my products but I need input from you guys...I try to cover everything from the basics to the difficult with modeling. So what topic would be of assistance to you?
