Replica in Scale: August 2014
http://replicainscale.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 10, 2014. A Day of Dogs and Cats; Uh-Oh, Long Ago and Far Away, A Hellcat, A Nifty Boat, and A Bunch of Other Stuff! In town outside of the tiny one offered in the Monogram Air Power. Set Lindberg issued a small series of poorly-done Luftwaffe. Subjects in the scale and people snapped them up as fast as they could find them. Any kit was better than no kit at all. All of the "good" scale modeling periodicals came out of Great Britain back then, with America's Scale Modeler. We don't know ei...

Replica in Scale: September 2013
http://replicainscale.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 22, 2013. An Amazing Delta, Some 80s T-Birds, a Hog, and A Famous Flight Deck. It's All in the Way You See It. If whatever it is happens to be your hobby. One), a Hobby Boss FJ-4B, an Eduard Albatros DV, 1/110th-scale Revell. That I started in 1976, and two Fw190s. They've accumulated over the past 30 years or so and will all eventually be completed. Maybe. So here's The Big Question of the day: Why do. Does it soothe your soul? Does working on a model make you feel better? There was a ...

Replica in Scale: Flying!, Something Out of the Ordinary, Pirates, Hold That Tiger!, Charlie in Kentucky, and Some Scary Days
http://replicainscale.blogspot.com/2015/08/flying-something-out-of-ordinary.html
Sunday, August 9, 2015. Something Out of the Ordinary, Pirates, Hold That Tiger! Charlie in Kentucky, and Some Scary Days. You'd never know it just by looking, but in theory this project is one heavily related to scale modeling, so scale modeling is what we're going to talk about today, or at least we're going to talk about one aspect of it- -getting better at doing it. To put in the time to become a good modeler. That's right- -change the whole way you look at the hobby. What if we built up a pair of 25...

Replica in Scale: March 2015
http://replicainscale.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 22, 2015. That Modular Thing Again, Hogs, A Ragged Hun, Tommy's Lightning, Two More From Biak, and a Voodoo or Two. So What's the Point? I used to know a guy a long time ago, back in the 60s, who was working on a 72nd-scale F-4 of some sort. (For the purpose of understanding this essay it's important for us to remember that, back in those days, there were only a handful of choices if you wanted to build a Phantom. Stretch out a bit and try something that's a little more difficult than they ...

Replica in Scale: March 2014
http://replicainscale.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 17, 2014. Snoopers and Rag Draggers, Joe on The 'Canal, The 38th, Thankin' Frank, and Some Spooks. Heading Off a Relief Tube Entry at the Pass. Sometimes we do really bone-headed things around here; the Best Laid Plans, etc. Read it before you might want to read it again, because we corrected the photo captions which, in our minds, precludes any necessity for putting an additional correction here. Many thanks (and sincere apologies! To John Horne for pointing out our errors! Unfortunately, ...

Replica in Scale: An Enigma, An Unusual Voodoo, Georgia Hogs, Able Mabel, Bugsuckers in the Corps, Oopsie, and Some Mystery Meat
http://replicainscale.blogspot.com/2015/07/an-enigma-unusual-voodoo-georgia-hogs.html
Saturday, July 4, 2015. An Enigma, An Unusual Voodoo, Georgia Hogs, Able Mabel, Bugsuckers in the Corps, Oopsie, and Some Mystery Meat. A Very Long Time Ago. And go on to other things. With any luck we'll get you. Thinking about the old models in your own lives. At that point in things I was one for one (if we don't count that very first 109) and ready for another challenge, albeit something a little simpler to build than that botched-up Texan. That followed it into my "collection". There were two game-c...

Replica in Scale: November 2013
http://replicainscale.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 19, 2013. This Is Only A Test. A Ghost in the Machine. To cut straight to the chase, I tried to start another blog installment about a week ago and have been getting error messages off the blog software every time I've done it. Normally these sorts of things go away on their own, but it's been a while and this particular (and new, and darned annoying) problem hasn't gone anywhere, which means it's time to try to figure things out. Wednesday, November 6, 2013. Just Tell 'Em How to Do It.

Replica in Scale: May 2014
http://replicainscale.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 25, 2014. More FJs, Dancing With Mister B, Son of Superfort, A Neat Conversion, Stuff You Didn't Know You Had, and Some RAM Birds. Of course, nobody notices it at first, and some very respected people write reviews, kit in hand, and state that it is accurate in terms of scale dimensions, which in essence means that people who said they measured the kit couldn't possibly have done that. Yikes! What can we do with our wonderful new Me109G-6 then? Anybody has ever done, and almost all of us use ...

Replica in Scale: April 2014
http://replicainscale.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 28, 2014. An F-5, Far East Haulers, Some Vigis, and They Weren't All Warplanes. When Is It Obsolete? Agree with, mostly, is the notion that the new wunderkit that just came out has immediately made everything that came before obsolete and not worth having. Let's discuss a couple of cases in point. We could go stay on this topic forever, citing Hasegawa vs. Tamiya A6Ms, Eduard Spitfires. And the beat goes on. Lockheed's F-4 and F-5 photo recon variants of the P-38 Lightning. Post-War Japan w...
