We went on a walk today around Georgian York - details below.
Starting at the Assembly Rooms at 10.30am for coffee before starting a tour of central York with Darrell Buttery, who has made a particular study of the luxury goods trade in 18th century York. the tour will look at the surprising amount of evidence which survives, particularly in shop fronts. On the way, Darrell will talk about many of the businesses which thrived and the characters who ran them.
This event has been organised by the York & East Yorkshire Volunteer Fundraising Committee to help raise money for the Art Fund.
It proved very interesting and made us look at our beautiful city anew.
This picture set shows how to glue together a foam turtledeck on a ProCub. After gluing, cover with fabric. You may need to use spacers on the top joint by the cabin for best fit. Add tabs and pins after assembly to join/remove from airplane.

World Health Assembly 2011: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation organized a meeting on ending Polio.
Public health officials from almost 200 nations are meeting in Geneva May 16-24, trying to devise strategies to address the many health problems that shorten life and diminish its quality for millions of people.
U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius is leading the U.S. delegation of about 25 to the World Health Assembly, which is the annual gathering for member states of the World Health Organization (WHO).
A major focus of the meeting will be WHO's first Global Status Report on Noncommunicable Diseases which found that diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and diabetes cause the greatest number of deaths each year – 63 percent of all deaths worldwide in 2008.

17 representatives from 10 local banks in the ETCs (namely Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Mongolia) came to London to get training in advanced financial modelling.
The training is funded by the ETC Fund under the €0.5 million Medium Sized Co-financing Facility ("MCFF" or "Facility") TC Framework for ETCs, approved by the November 2011 Assembly. Is it a pilot, previously the Bank hired consultants to go to a country to meet/train local bankers.

We ran to the hardware store and got some tailor's sheers to cut the fabric into 10 pieces. The cloth originally came as a single 2-yard piece, 53" wide. You can adjust the tiling and can order as many yards as you'd like.

Nuremberg held great significance during the Nazi Germany period. Because of the city's relevance to the Holy Roman Empire and its position in the center of Germany, the Nazi Party chose the city to be the site of huge Nazi Party conventions–the Nuremberg rallies. The rallies were held annually from 1927 to 1938 in Nuremberg. After Hitler's rise to power in 1933 the Nuremberg rallies became huge state propaganda events, a center of anti-Semitism and other Nazi ideals. At the 1935 rally, Hitler specifically ordered the Reichstag to convene at Nuremberg to pass the anti-Semitic Nuremberg Laws which revoked German citizenship for all Jews. A number of premises were constructed solely for these assemblies, some of which were not finished. Today many examples of Nazi architecture can still be seen in the city. The city was also the home of the Nazi propagandist Julius Streicher, the publisher of Der Stürmer.

The kit and its assembly:
Ah, Egypt, land of the pyramids, the pharaos ...and a suitable home for what-if aircraft. The idea for this rather subtle whif came when I found pictures of Egyptian Avro Lancaster bombers, which had been in use during the 50ies with little success. Somehow I found their simple livery with black undersides, a high waterline and Medium Sea Grey upper sides, plus the green and white insignia, pretty attractive, though. And when I remembered that I had an Airfix Mosquito NF XIX in store and found out that the type had never been in Egyptian service, the whif project was born.
What started as a simple livery variant quickly turned into more when I considered different engines (since I plan to use the Mossie’s Marlins for another whif conversion in the far future...). I found a pair of Hercules engines from a Matchbox Wellington, together with parts of the engine nacelles and the flame damper exhaust. A perfect match for a night fighter! The resulting problem, though, were the Mossie's engine nacelles, which are much too slender for radials. Further search in the junk yard turned up engine nacelles from an Italeri B-25 - they are designed to fit under the wings and the diameter is a perfect match to the Hercules engines.
As a side note: this whif conversion is not as fantastic as one might think. Even though AFAIK no Mosquito ever carried radial engines, not even for trials or as a protytype, the I.Ae. 24 ‘Calquin’ from Argentina, a light bomber patterned after the Mosquito in 1947 as a domestic development, carried radials, but less powerful Pratt & Whitney R-1830-G ‘Twin Wasp’ engines.
The biggest consequential conversion work included the integration of the new nacelles onto the wings, which turned out to be more problematic than expected. While mounting the nacelles wet rather straightforward (just the front part of the original nacelle top sides had to be cut back and), the radials were too high to mount the flush with the wings' upper sides - I had to add a bulge on top of the wing. Fortunately I was able to implant parts from the Wellington nacelles, but the result looks rather bulky now. This is not a Mosquito anymore, rather a bumblebee...
Some NC putty sculpting was necessary around the nacelles, and the radiator air intakes in the wing roots were cut back and closed with halves from styrene tubes - simple solution. The rest was rather basic work, most of the Mosquito kit remained OOB.
As a match and a visual countre-balance, I added a fin fillet, a simple piece of styrene. It adds to the overall, more massive look - without this, the Mosquito looked quite head-heavy.
Desaster struck, though: after mounting the nacelles in place I tested the landing gear, and it was too far back - maybe by 5mm. This does not sound much, but it was more than enough to make the Mossie look rather odd! So, I had to fix this problem through major surgery and a re-design of the land gear wells and covers, moving everything forward. This was an unpleasant task, since I was more or less ready for painting... Hmpf. Anyway, the landing gear is now in a relative position to the wing leading edge (under the main spar) where the real Merlin Mosquito would have it, so the effort was worthwhile.
Another proplem occured when I wanted to use the B-25 propellers. They not only turned out to be too large, the axis' diameter would also not fit the Matchbox engines... So, after fruitless attempts to convert some of the Airfix parts, I decided to donate parts from the extra box: Hamilton Standard aftermarket propellers from Quickboost. These are actually intended for a 1:72 B-24, but they were perfect in shape and size, and the solution without spinners reduced the front bulk impression.
