Week 1, 2015 - Minimalism
Measure twice, mark with precision, cut once. This is just the tool to mark with precision.
How small is the coded wire tag put into the nose of each juvenile lake trout? Very small! A mass marking trailer operator holds up tag on the end of a rod. It is smaller than the head of a needle.

On August 26, 1954, two US Navy AD-6 Skyraiders crashed into Mount St. Helena in Napa County, California, killing both pilots.
The planes and pilots were from Attack Squadron 195 (VA-195), which at the time was based at NAS Moffett Field. AD-6 135254 was piloted by LCDR Hubert L. Worrell, and AD-6 135264 was piloted by LTJG Roger W. Tillson, Jr.
According to the US Navy aircraft accident report, the flight, which had filed a VFR (visual flight rules) flight plan, entered overcast as it approached a mountain ridge significantly higher than its cruising altitude. Both pilots started to climb, but both aircraft struck the mountain approximately 800 feet below the peak.

VA-195, 1950s (Wikipedia):
Built in 1923, this Renaissance Revival-style twenty-story skyscraper was designed by George B. Post and Sons to house the Buffalo Statler Hotel, part of the Statler Hotel chain that was headquartered in Buffalo. The second permanent hotel that the Statler family built in Buffalo, the building replaced an earlier hotel that stood on the site, housed in the former Millard Fillmore mansion, known as the Castle Inn, and an earlier flagship Statler Hotel, which was built in 1907, and located at the southeast corner of Swan Street and Washington Street in a building that was heavily influenced by the nearby Guaranty Building. Ellsworth Milton Statler, whom owned the business, had started in the hospitality industry with a restaurant in the basement of the Ellicott Square building in 1896, expanding with a 2,000-room temporary hotel at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, and a 2,200 room hotel at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, which were so successful that Statler, a former bellhop, decided to re-enter the Hotel business permanently. The present building was the flagship hotel for the chain, which was based in Buffalo, but had hotels all around the United States, which featured amenities that are commonly expected today, including private bathrooms, telephones in each room, and free stationery and newspapers, and were priced at a moderate cost for more average travelers, rather than being targeted at wealthy clientele. Statler also wanted to attract the city’s elite to his establishment, and thus bought the nearby Iroquois Hotel, a longstanding center of social life for Buffalo’s elite and business class, in 1923, and closed it a day after his new hotel opened. Arguably, the original Hotel Statler was more architecturally significant, as it was one of the largest ever Art Nouveau buildings constructed in the United States, and featured a far more unique and distinctive interior and exterior, as well as being the first hotel to have all the innovative features that Statler became known for. Like the similarly significant Larkin Building, however, the original Statler Hotel Buffalo was demolished in 1968 to make way for a “shovel-ready” development site, with no regard for the non-monetary value of the building. Private development never materialized on the site, and it sat as a barren parking lot until a baseball stadium and plaza were built on the site in the late 20th Century.
The building features a tripartite composition, with a four-story base, which extends to the rear (east) of the tower along Genesee Street and Mohawk Street to Franklin Street, which contains many of the hotel’s major public spaces, including meeting rooms, ballrooms, lobbies, and retail spaces. Above the base rises a tower, twenty stories tall and E-shaped, with two light wells on the western side of the building that extend deep into the block to the east, with a largely unadorned red brick-clad section between the sill line of the windows on the sixth floor to the sill line of the windows on the eighteenth floor, forming the “shaft” of the composition. At the top is a more richly detailed three-story section of the building, forming the “capital” of the composition, drawing the eye upwards and emphasizing the verticality of the building. The first floor is clad in stone with rustication, with the second and third floors sharing large window bays with decorative surrounds, which include decorative keystones, broken pediments with cartouches, triple arched window openings flanked by doric pilasters and recessed niches on the western facade, paired arched windows facing Niagara Square, separated by doric pilasters, and smaller windows at the east end of the building along Franklin Street and Mohawk Street. Above the arched window bays are low-slope roofs enclosed by decorative balustrades, with smaller window openings on the fourth floor featuring decorative stone trim, with the window bays around the perimeter of the base of the tower portion of the building being flanked by doric pilasters, with an architrave with triglyphs and decorative reliefs above the pilasters, and a cornice featuring modillions running around the sill line of the fifth floor windows, marking the base of the transition from the base to the shaft. The fifth floor features windows with decorative surrounds and keystones with busts, and is topped with a cornice, which is the last strong horizontal datum before the building becomes an unadorned brick shaft for the next twelve floors. The building features double-hung and fixed windows, some of which are original, and others of which are replacements, with two-over-two windows being predominant between the sixth and eighteenth floors. On the eighteenth floor, the sill line of the windows is a line of stone belt coursing, with decorative window trim at the window openings, and a cornice with dentils above the windows, originally extending further out from the facade, but having been chiseled away due to structural issues in the late 20th Century. The nineteenth and twentieth floors feature decorative trim once again, with the outermost bays of the individual north and south facades, as well as the west facade, featuring single windows flanked by doric pilasters with decorative window trim, including busts on the keystones, and the middle bays being recessed, flanked by ionic pilasters, with copper spandrel panels. The top of the twentieth floor windows is a line of belt coursing, above which are a few courses of brick, with decorative reliefs above the doric pilasters on the east and west facades, which sits below the building’s cornice, which features brackets, and runs around the base of the brick parapet that encloses the building’s low-slope roof. Atop the parapet above the doric pilasters are decorative urns. The rear of the building also features a large circulation tower, housing the building’s main stairways and elevators, which features a largely unadorned facade with four oxeye openings with stone trim at the top, with this being the least detailed section of the building’s exterior.
Inside, the building features many original semi-public spaces that have been partially preserved from the original period of construction and function as a hotel. These include the “palm room”, the main lobby that is themed after a tropical garden, which sits just outside the hotel’s main dining room, a two-story space with a vaulted ceiling, decorative archways, paired arched second-story openings with balustrades and columns, arched windows above the dining room entrance, an entrance portico at the dining room with ionic columns, a decorative cornice, a broken pediment with a cartouche, and a decorative balustrade atop the portico, and a fountain surrounded by greco-roman statues. There is also the Terrace Room, which features a decorative beam ceiling, ionic columns, and a section of the ceiling that is vaulted, the golden ballroom, formerly the hotel’s main dining room, which features a cantilevered second-story balcony with ionic columns featuring capitals and accents clad in gold leaf, decorative trim and panels clad in gold leaf, a wooden parquet floor, and a vaulted ceiling, and a room in the mezzanine with well-preserved carved wood paneling and black marble fireplace surrounds. Other spaces, including the lounge, tea room, cafeteria, swimming pool, and turkish baths, have not been preserved in as intact of a condition.
The hotel began to see a decline in occupancy with the onset of the Great Depression, with several of its 1,100 rooms regularly sitting vacant. As a result, it began to see portions of its interior converted into office space, which accelerated after the opening of the WBEN TV studio in the building. The Statler hotel chain was bought out by Hilton in 1954, which continued to use the Statler brand on hotels that the chain had already built, but eventually phased it out. The hotel finally shuttered in 1984, with the building being renamed the Statler Towers. The building became largely vacant, with only the lower floors being occupied, with the highest occupancy being in the street-facing retail spaces. In the 2000s, the building was slated for conversion into a hotel and condominium, but this proved unsuccessful when the entity that owned the building went bankrupt, leading to a foreclosure and the building being threatened with demolition. Preservationists worked hard to save the building, leading to it being auctioned to a developer in 2010, whom started to stabilize the structure and address its deferred maintenance, reopening the event spaces on the lower floors in 2011, with plans to eventually renovate the rest of the building with an incremental, multi-phased approach. After that developer died, the building was sold to another developer, whom has announced plans to convert the base into a combination of parking, meeting and event space, amenity space, and retail space, with 600 apartments on the upper levels, with work being well underway in 2022.
18 REASONS WHY WE ALL LOVE COX
Seniors
Club legend Greg Barras sat nervously in his house at Albury as word quickly spread that his club record of 18 goals was in jeopardy. Lee Cox under the beautiful Autumn sun treated the fans to a marking and goal scoring frenzy. Cox had a near perfect game, equalling the club record, and even found time to give off four more goals to team mates in better positions.
For the first time this season Hepburn was able to score the first goal of the match, usually slow starters, the Burras showed no signs of being lethargic and had eight goals on the board by quarter time. At the main break 20 goals had been amassed with Cox kicking half of them. Cox’s sidekick, Andy McKay unusually flew under the radar, (as was Cox’s dominance) but “ Hollywood” was still close to best on ground honours with his 7 goals , superb high marking and pin point passing to Cox on the lead.
Creswick had a day they would rather forget, but to their credit, they never gave up and had some young players who had very good games. As usually is with an uneven scoreline, most of the play was forward of the centre square, in saying that Hepburn’s backline had to concentrate harder, but when the opportunity arose, Trevor Johnson, Allan Ware and coompany mopped up and created opportunities for their team mates. Daniel Smith’s big frame also posed problems for the opposition. Smith played a very versatile game, using his body to great affect so his fleet footed allies in Baker, Rees, and the James boys could get their hands on the ball.
Brian O’ Halloran, the former star rover of the 1970’s is a proud man. His oldest son Tim is doing well in his first coaching gig at Reserves level. Next in line Dan becoming a seasoned performer, but the youngest of the clan, Liam, has settled in nicely into Shane Robertson’s structure, bobbing up linking play, and showing maturity well above his years.
Next week Hepburn takes on the big improver Gordon at the Laurie Sullivan Reserve which should be a match worth watching.
Final Scores: HEPBURN 36-12-228 defeated CRESWICK 3-4-22
Goals: L. Cox 18, A. McKay 7, D. O’Halloran 3, J. James 3, J. King 2, R. Gundry, T. Johnson, D. James
Best: L. Cox, A. McKay, D. Smith, D. Rees, A. Baker, D. O’ Halloran
UNDER 18’s
For two and a half quarters Hepburn matched Creswick, but were blown away in the end by one of the premiership favorites. The highlight reel was pretty small, but Joe Malone would have featured prominently having a blinder of a game in the middle. His strong work in tight and then classy skills to finish something his younger team mates can learn from.
Tom Conroy battled hard in the ruck, certainly holding his own and Lucas Bossinger put in his best game to date. The small brigade of under 15 players who fill in each week again performed well, with Jackson Carrick and Billy Johns being rewarded kicking goals. Next week is a big game as the boys should aim to have their second win for the season.
Final Scores: HEPBURN 5-3-33 lost to CRESWICK 20-14-134
Goals: J. Malone 2, K. Frost, J. Carrick, B. Johns
Best: J. Malone, J. Liversidge, K. Frost, M. Allison, L. Bossinger, T. Conroy

Hot on the heels of the latest crime figures that show GMP has the lowest level of crime for a decade, senior officers and staff got together over the last two days to identify how to provide an even better service for people in Greater Manchester.
The event was held at Lancashire County Cricket Club ground and brought together examples of the good work that is taking place. Chief Constable Peter Fahy spoke about how the current changes can mean a new era in policing.
Amongst the speakers was Inspector Damian O’Reilly of Gorton Neighbourhood Policing Team who spoke of his passion about making the area he grew up in a safer place. He also spoke of his pride in following in the footsteps of his grandfather who held the rank of inspector in Manchester City Police in the 1930s.
Chief Constable Peter Fahy said, “These two days have been an investment in the officers and staff who can really make things happen and make a difference in our communities. In an organisation as big and complex as GMP working round the clock it is crucial that staff can get together to be updated on current developments and have a clear plan for the future. Ensuring they understand their responsibility and sharing good practice is crucial to keeping our streets safe.”

I wanted the step down to the flange to have a nice curve/angle. To mark the distance I made a small marking tool (which I used to mark the total width with as well). The steel wire is bent 180 degrees and then pushed into the hole in the wood. That way it doesn't rip the foam but creates a nice dent instead.

Markings: Sea Control Squadron 21 (VS-21), Naval Air Field Atsugi, Japan, 2004
The Viking was designed in the late 1960s to replace the aging S-2 Tracker as the Navy’s carrier based, fixed wing anti-submarine aircraft. Incorporating the latest electronic and acoustic submarine hunting technology in an airframe powered by two highly efficient turbofan engines the S-3A greatly increased the Navy’s ability to locate and track Soviet nuclear submarines. The first Viking flew in January 1972 and so impressed the Navy that the first production contract was issued only three months later. Anti-submarine squadron 21 was the first to use the Viking operationally in 1974. The aircraft proved to be extremely safe, reliable, and versatile. In 1981, Lockheed began upgrading the existing Vikings to incorporate newer electronic systems and the ability to fire the Harpoon anti-ship missile. Eventually all anti-submarine equipment was removed and the Viking focused anti-surface warfare, strike missions, and aerial refueling duties.
Service History
Built by Lockheed Aircraft, Burbank, California and delivered to the Navy in 1978 as the 184th of 187 Vikings built. The detailed service history of this aircraft is not currently available, however a few details are known. The aircraft was assigned to Sea Control Squadron 31 (VS-31) aboard the USS Eisenhower during Operation Desert Shield. Later it was transferred to Sea Control Squadron 21 (VS-21) at Naval Air Field Atsugi, Japan and deployed aboard the USS Kitty Hawk. The striking paint scheme on this aircraft was designed in 2004 for the disestablishment of VS-21. The aircraft was placed in storage at Davis-Monthan AFB in 2005. In 2006 the National Museum of Naval Aviation placed it on loan to the Pima Air and Space Museum.

The most famous of these aircraft is an S-3 Viking nicknamed "Navy One". Navy One is the call sign of any United States Navy aircraft carrying the President of the United States.
There has been only one U.S. Navy aircraft to bear this designation. An S-3 Viking, assigned to the "Blue Wolves" of VS-35, transported President George W. Bush to the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln stationed off the coast of San Diego, California on May 1, 2003. The pilot was Commander Skip Lussier, then the Executive Officer of VS-35, and the flight officer was Lieutenant Ryan Phillips.
That S-3, that served as "Navy One", was retired from service and placed on display at the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Florida on July 17, 2003.

Painting and markings:
The captured aircraft theme was settled from the start, but I wanted to offer more than just a “rebadging” with RAF roundels on an IJN green/grey airframe. In order to add some visual spice, my idea became to present an irregular "one-aircraft-made-from-two-wrecks" finish, with parts in differing tones and even some primed or bare metal areas.
I gave the model an overall coat of aluminum (with Red Stars added, this would have made another interesting whif!) and started adding cloudy shades of IJN Green (ModelMaster and Tamiya) and sections with RAF Dark Green to the upper surfaces, and light grey underneath, with the aluminum underneath shining through here and there. One engine was furthermore painted in a shaggy Japanese primer red brown. I furthermore added overpainted IJN markings with U.S. olive drab for some more contrast, even though would later be at least partly hidden under decals.
The cockpit was painted in a greenish yellow primer (trying to simulate a typical “bamboo” shade that was used in some late-war IJN cockpits), while the landing gear and the flaps’ interior was painted in dull aluminum (Humbrol 56).
A black ink washing was applied for more weathering and contrast. the yellow leading edge markings were created with decal material. RAF roundels came from the scrap box, the “FE 269” code was created with single white 3mm letters. The “ATAIU-SEA” titles were painted with a thin brush and white acrylic paint, and sanded down a bit once dry, for a weathered look.
Finally, the kit received a mixed coat of semi-gloss and matt acrylic varnish.
Painting and markings:
I used the Macedonian Su-25s as design benchmark, and the choice for this operator was slightly supported by the fact that I had decals for all four Frogfoot in store from a Balkan Models decal sheet. The corresponding information sheet also provided inspiration for the scheme (every aircraft was different) and the respective colors, even though I rather relied on pictures of the aircraft than model paint suggestions.
Defining the colors was not easy, since all Macedonian Su-25 look VERY weathered on any picture I could find, just around the nose sections some of the original tones can be guesstimated. Using this information, plus experience with Soviet/Russian tactical aircraft cammo and pictures of more modern Macedonian equipment (e. g. Mi-24s in a very stylish wrap-around splinter scheme) I eventually settled on the following five tones as basic colors:
- Humbrol 168 (RAF Hemp)
- Humbrol 98 (Chocolate Brown)
- Humbrol 150 (Forest Green)
- Humbrol 195 (RAL 6020 Dunkelgrün)
- Humbrol 115 (Russian Underside Blue)
With the irregular, patchy pattern, the Zlin's outlines blur well. After a light black ink wash some weathering on the upper surfaces was done, for a sun-bleached look.
As mentioned above, markings come primarily from a Su-25 Balkan Models decal sheet. The tactical code was puzzled together from single black digits (TL Modellbau, 4mm size), though, and "MAF" was added in the same typeface on the fuselage flanks, inspired by contenmporary Macedonian helicopters. Some stencils were taken from the Hobby Boss OOB sheet.
Disaster struck, though, when I sealed the kit with matt acrylic varnish from Revell. I should have stuck to the Italeri product from the start, and had to pay my carelessness with milky shadows all over the kit. I tried to rub the stuff away with alcohol thinner, but many stains remained and I had to make a lot of repairs and new shadings, so that the final result seen in the beauty pics is not as crisp as I hoped it to be. Anyway, work was quickly done, thanks to the kit's small size, and the decals were not damaged at all during the whole post-treatment. Whew!
Painting and markings:
Hmmm, not totally happy with the finish. This was supposed to become a simple Hinterhalt (Ambush) paint scheme in Dark Yellow, Olive Green and Red Brown, but I did so much weathering that not much from the scheme can be recognized…
Painting was straightforward, though – I used Humbrol 94 and 173 as well as Modelmaster’s RAL 6003 as basic colors. The scheme’s benchmark is the official Tiger B scheme.
The basic colors received mottles in green on the yellow and yellow on the green and brown, and then the thing was thoroughly weathered with a black ink wash, dry-brushing, some aquarelle paint to simulate dust, and finally some pigments that simulate mud.
The tracks are made from soft vinyl, and also received a paint treatment in order to get rid of that shiny vinyl look: at first, with a mix of black and silver, which was immediately wiped off again, and later with a second, similar turn with silver and dark brown. The mud was added just before the whole running gear was mounted as one of the final assembly stages, and final retouches were made with acrylic umbra paint.
Alas, I think I overdid it – much of the formidable and very attractive paint scheme was lost, even though the yucky, brownish finish now also works fine and looks like rough duty?

Went off out, across the Solway, on a convoy of tractors, to check that the boundaries of the Royal Burgh of Annan remained intact. This is part of the tradition known as Riding the Marches. There is a huge stone out there, called The Alterstane that marks not only the boundary of the Royal Burgh but also lies on the border between Scotland and England.
Some years the stone is visble but this year it was buried beneath the shifting sands of the treacherous Solway Firth. Luckily we had the help of some local fishermen including Big Spike and George, who drove our tractor, and the location of the Alterstane was soon marked using a bit of a broken umbrella and a wee flag and the boundary was reported to be intact by Cornet Bob, his Lass and the Standard Bearer. She has a big flag.
The importance of marking the boundary cannot be underestimated as many years ago, even before Boboftheglen started the school, there was a nasty incursion into our territory. Some scallywags from a wee village across the water nipped across the sands and nicked the church bell from Dornock Kirk. I don't know if the bell was ever recovered but it just shows what young lads are capable of when they are on the electrc soup. Nowadays they just dae the raft race.
It was a lovely day and we were waving to a wee wumin who was in paddling on the English side and obviously wondering what we were all doing. We last heard her shouting, as she ran away "Tomo hide the bell -I told you they would be back for it "

Painting and markings:
The wrap-around paint scheme was another important factor to build this whif kit - it looks pretty cool and popped up several times in the late 60ies and the 70ies, e. g. on the USMC’s OV-10D prototypes, and on the US Navy’s AP-2Hs from VAH-21 in Vietnam.
The scheme was, AFAIK, made from three grey tones: FS 36118 (Gunship Grey), FS 36231 (Dark Gull Grey) and FS 36440 (Light Gull Grey), and these colors were prone to weathering and bleaching under the tropical East Asia climate, so that the Light Gull Grey appears almost like white. This was simulated with some black ink wash and dry-brushing all over the hull.
The interior was painted in Neutral Grey (FS 36173), while the landing gear was kept all-white.
The decals were puzzled together, but mostly from the Revell kit's decal sheet that offers a USAF machine and two USN machines, a blue and a grey one.
