The Last Meeting of IPMS Ragwing.

Posted by StephenLawson on Friday, October 8, 2004 7:32 PM

Greetings all for my first post here at FSM I would like to bring your attention to the Dangers of AMS. Dear forumites what follows is the most tragic example of Advanced Modelers Syndrome (AMS.) *I just found this article in our local Newspaper. *A local UPS driver made his usual stop at a home in a Denver suburb. *He noticed that there was a mountain of previous deliveries stacked outside the adjoining garage. *The driver also heard the sound of growling of a small canine in the garage. *Fearing the worst he called the local police, fire & rescue and animal control. *When they opened the garage the grisly sight before them was too bizarre for the local TV news people to broadcast. *Be Warned AMS is Dangerous!*I can hardly bear it...

Per an offline request....As to the composition of the pieces for the garage The major pieces should be immediately visible. The 1/28 Revell Fokker Dr.I with a Clerget engine, The Monogram Red Baron Dragster. The all but one of the skeletons are Monogram items (Lil Coffin & Rommel's Rod.) One of the skeletons is a Fujimi mechanic carved down using a dremel motor tool. The rest of the items are from the Fujimi garage set, local Rail-Road hobby shop, Verlinden Cardboard boxes with model company logos on them. Resin crates with Model company decals applied.

Well zokissima; Before I moved all but the most basic pieces (and with out any of the roofing) I simply dusted the interior with almond coloured paint. You take your spray can and hold it so when it expells out that the end of the spray allows the paint to float onto the surfaces...like real dust. Then I hit the larger individual pieces in a similar manner before mounting inside the box. This allowed for a more iniform covering overall.

Greetings all;
I had a request offline for the sculptor of the seated skeleton... it was me. I took a Fujimi mechanic and carved it up with a Dremel motor tool.

While all of you have been very kind, I had this on display at Caboose Hobbies here in Denver CO a couple years back. The Rail roaders are a grim lot.

I was told that it made them nervous...cause it looked like their garages or basements. Big Smile [:D]
