Skype has conference call capacity.. Now I dont know how much it would cost for access from foreign countries but it would have to be cheaper than using a landline phone. I know my uncle uses it to talk to his friend in Tokyo.

 My Skype name is Deeyankeeintexas

But then there is Stickam too.. that is video conferencing and using mics..

Hey Roy, Dee is checking it out for ya! If there is a way to do it , trust me she can find it. She is an internet queen for sure. The only thing that worries me a bit is for fellows that still may be using a dial-up connection. That may be the only issue I am aware of.

Have you used this before?  Also does it cost anything?  Need to make sure that it's free for everyone.

 Well you can see the wingspan is longer than the width of the hardy plank and those are 8 inch boards. Godzilla! Was out on the porch painting in the dark last spring. It has probably grown since then LOL!

Oh heck! Who knows what I was thinking at that hour!?Laugh [(-D] I know I was focused on the lack of windows on the side of the school, though there may have been another structure right next to it in the past negating any sunlight.

Thanks Roy! Trying to engineer an engine mount of some sorts. Apart from just trying to glue it to the fuse sides. Which I'm not beyond doing , just seems a bit undignified to my engine. Hey if it works, I would do it. Looking forward to buttoning up the fuse finally. At that point I think I will pull the 'bag out of the hangar and finish it. Just would like to get to a good stopping point on the Corsair. Roy we need pics of your beast!

Hiya, Bill! Good to hear from ya! And ya brought pictures...Cool [8D]

lemme see....

The only thing I fully recognize is the A11 as well. Truth be told, I couldn't even guess what that might be. But I'll take a stab at the others...

I know that the Knights Templar were pretty much all over Europe and beyond during the Middle Ages. I'm pretty sure being that given that as close as they were to Rome (relatively speaking) I'm gonna guess that those crests on the front of the buildings are somehow related?

 

Of course, this is just a wild stab in the dark...Confused [%-)]

Warmest regards,

Roger

OK me 'arties!! Here's a test. This is the public school in Acquaviva Collecroce and this is the west side in the setting sun, pic taken a week ago by yours truly.

What do the symbols mean? what is the year the school was built?

Richie, thats looking good.  I was just adding the final touches to my pit. 

Tomorrow I'll add a gloss coat and a wash and a little dry brush to give it some depth and break up the inter. green.

Got the framework painted and washed for a bit of depth. I'm happy with the way it turned out, sure beats bare sides. Here's a pic. Enjoy!
