Pete, Where did you find copies for under $90? Do you have some links? Barry

$65 for that book is a steal. Take a look on bookfinder and see what sellers are asking for it. It is an amazingly hard to find book. Barry

At first, I thought it seemed a bit stupid myself to only ship to US. After some less than pleasant experiences, I now specify that I only ship to North America. A couple of bidders outside the US became very upset about how much postage would cost, and I only charge for the cost of shipping...

Wow Bill, that looks like its going to be great! I can't wait to see it in Boston. Barry

Happy Birthday Anders! Barry

Actually, he played bass. ;) Not much around here that's interesting historically to most people. There is a picturesque civil war era camp that was an active post up until a couple of years ago, when the university took it over. It was built to keep an eye on the newly arrived settlers...

the flatness of Vallejo varies between colors. Some are dead flat and others are satin while some have just the slightest hint of satin to them. Another alternative is to add a touch of Andrea paint to them which will usually flatten them out since Andreas are often too flat (for me anyway)...

Robert, I think HM issues 39 and 40 are worth grabbing for a couple of very nice articles by Peter Ferk and Greg diFranco on painting flats. They have made me want to try a couple myself. Barry

Yes, the place where they come together will cause problems. I always cut that part away. But when it gets old, a skin will form on the outside of the putty whick will also cause lumps (I think it's the yellow part that does this). I haven't found a way to get rid of this, so I just toss it...

Janne, It does seem to get tougher to knead when its old in my experience; But not tough enough be a real problem. The biggest problem I've had with old Duro, however, is the skin that develops on the surface. This causes lumps when you mix it. I have a friend who has some that is over 10...

Francesca, You're probably right about cheesecloth being a bit too irregular. The stockings might work well though. Barry

Francesca, This is a fantastic SBS. He's turning out great! I wonder if cheesecloth might work for the goal? It might be a bit small, but it might be worth checking into. Barry

I'd probably buy the individual heads. Personally, I would rather make the bridles myself though. The saddles might work fine, especially if you made them as generic as possible. For example, just the French light and heavy cav. saddles themselves, but not the saddlecloths. What I'd mostly...

They don't make that anymore? That's definitely my favorite. I'll have to visit all the local shops and buy it all up. :o Barry

It was damn fun, Pete. I'm pretty sure I'll be in Chicago this year - I can't wait! I think I'm hooked on the show thing. No World Expo for you? Barry

Well deserverved Bob! It is a great piece of work. I'm glad I got a chance to see it in person. Barry

Same here, just distilled water. They are pretty nice for airbrushing. Barry

Actually, It's based on a well known drawing. The name of the artist escapes me at the moment. I think I'll have to grab all three of these figs. He's one of my favorite sculptors. Barry

Count me in. I'll be arriving from the land of Zion Friday afternoon. Barry

Happy Birthday Pete! Barry
