The IPMS-Phils Bert Anido Chapter Cup is regurlay held every May in honor of Mr. Bert Anido a founding member of IPMS-Phils. entries are focused on PAF and AFP subjects later expanded to WW2 pacific. for more info. you could check our website at ipmsphilippines .com hope this helps.. mang ernie Reply Edit emjaetee Member since March 2004 From: Somewhere between near and far Posted by emjaetee on Monday, May 17, 2004 9:39 PM Thanks! that's so sweet of you. Measure it with a micrometer. Mark it with a grease pencil. Cut it with an ax. Reply Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Monday, May 17, 2004 9:25 PM Emjaetee, I came across this literature from Gunze Sangyo given to me by STC as to how to use most of their products. I thought you'll be interested in the use Mr. Retarder mild, so word for word here it is: Mr. Retarder Mild Mr. retrder Mild is an agent for retarding the drying of Mr. Color paints and eliminating lumps in brush painted surfaces. In addition, it alos greatly improves the eveness of the Mr. Color paint film and thus dramatically increase luster. Method of use: ( with a brush) 1. Add approx. 10% Mr. Retarder Mild to Mr. Color and mix in well. 2. Mr. Retarder Mild should be added after transferring Mr. Color to another container such as apaint dish. 3. Your brush strokes should all be in the same direction. Don't be concerned about any brush marks or lumps, as these will disappear. With an airbrush 1. Add approx 20% Mr. Retarder Mild to Mr. Color and mix in well. 2. One of Mr. Retarder Mild's special features is that it is effective in thinning Mr. Color Paints, while producing more luster than Mr. Thinner. However, adding more than 20% delays drying time longer than required, so if you want to thin Mr. Color more you should use Mr. Thinner. 3. The method for application is the same as for for regular spraying. However, take care, since the paint may start to dribble. Hope this helps you in handbrushing your models. To any IPMS Manila members who wants a copy, I'm bringing a copy on our next meet and you could probably have photocopied then.

Noel, Mang Ben, and most of those that have their insignia is from the IPMS-USA chapter, IPMS-Manila. IPMS-Philippines Bert Anido Chapter was established in the 60's... Bigman and Buck are from this one... They used to belong in IPMS-P-BAC, all of them, but like a fledgling learning to fly, IPMS-Manila was established. actually, there are other IPMS clubs present here... there's IPMS South Manila, IPMS fort(tama ba? no offense meant) and others i can not remember. These clubs are present to promote the hobby. they WORK TOGETHER to guide modellers throughout. for more info on their orgs, check out their websites.... http://www.ipmsphilippines.com for IPMS Philippines Bert Anido Chapter http://www.geocities.com/ipms_manila for IPMS Manila Happy modelling y'all! Cheers! Measure it with a micrometer. Mark it with a grease pencil. Cut it with an ax.

Sorry Ben Awww shucks. Well, thank you sir for the effort. By the way, is there any word if or when STC will re-stock their shelves with new 1/144 Shanghai Dragon aircrafts? Despite its proven to have fit problems I still have grown to love these little buggers. Details and panel lines are crisp and well done and if given a lot of attention during building, they really can be good looking when finished. Reply noel_carpio Member since January 2003 From: Philippines Posted by noel_carpio on Monday, May 17, 2004 6:56 PM Ron, Lil22beth, Welcome to FSM! Great to hear from all of you modelers out there. I am into ships as well. Just a bit burned out. I want to miss ships for a while. I have a couple of ships done and they are posted at Modelwarships.com. Yep, 1/350 Enterprise. Bismark, New jersey, Arizona, and a lot, lot more. So I started doing armor again after 5 years of pause in this category. But when I ended up finishing my Leopold and my M12, I guess armor would not excite me for now. Maybe I will go into choppers first before getting back to ships. A 1/32 Seaking would probably be the project for me. IPMS Manila has its upcoming "Desert Conflict in Plastic" (Desert Storm Theme) contest this September and the Seaking can get in.
