"Study identifies link between kidney stones in children and atherosclerosis"
Using my machine lathe as a marking guide. The gauge would measure each top marker and I'd use the tool rest to scribe a corresponding line along the face of the handle. This left perfectly straight, evenly spaced marks for the next step.

Painting and markings:
Well, building the kit was not a true challenge, and the paint scheme I chose was also not truly demanding. However, I wanted something different from the Austrian Saab 105s' bare metal finish and also not a dull all-grey air superiority scheme. I eventually stumbled upon a scheme found on some Austrian helicopters, Shorts Skyvans and the Pilatus PC-7 trainers.
Basically, the pattern consists of a deep, dark forest green and an greyish olive drab, which almost appears like a brown, RAL 6020 (Chromoxydgrün) and RAL 7013 (Braungrau). RAL 7013 is the Austrian Army’s standard color, used on many ground vehicles, too.
For the dark green I used Humbrol 195, which is the authentic tone, and RAL 7013 was approached through a rough 1:1:1 mix of Humbrol 29 (Dark Earth), 155 (Olive Drab) and 66 (Olive Drab, too), based on some pictures of Austrian aircraft in good light.
Originally, the scheme is a uniform, all over RAL 7013 with RAL 6020 only added to the upper sides, But for my build I found this to be a little boring, so I added a personal twist. The pattern on the upper surfaces was roughly adapted from an Austrian Skyvan, but I painted the underwing surfaces in aluminum, so that the model would not appear too murky and dull (Revell 91).
A late addition were the orange wing and fin tips – originally taken from the T-4 decal sheet, but application went sour and I had to scrape them off again and replace them with painted alternatives (Humbrol 18, plus a thin coat with Humbrol 209, dayglow orange). Anyway, these marking suit the aircraft’ trainer role well and are a nice contrast to the red-and-white roundels.
The cockpit was painted in neutral grey, while the landing gear and the air intakes became white – very conservative.
The markings were kept simple, puzzled together from various sources, the 4th Jet Squadron is fiction. The Austrian roundels come from a TL Modellbau sheet, the tactical code consists of single, black letters from TL Modellbau, too.
The current Austrian practice for the 4-digit codes is quite complex, and the four-digit-code is based on a variety of aircraft information; the 1st digit (Arabic number) is associated with a max. TOW class, the second (a letter) denotes the type’s main purpose. The roundel divides the code, and the 3rd letter is allocated to a specific aircraft type (I re-used “S”, formerly used on Saab 91D trainers until 1993) and the last letter is a consecutive, individual identifier.
Stencils were mostly taken from the T-4 OOB sheet or gathered from the scrap box, e .g. from German Tornado and T-33 sheets (for dual language markings). The silver trim at the flaps and the fin’s rudder were created with generic decal stripes in various widths in silver. Similar, wider strips in black were used to create the de-icers on the fin’s and wings' leading edges.
Finally, the kit was sealed with matt acrylic varnish (Italeri).
Mark the strip board with a permanent marker where the holes are to be cut. Then use a spot-face cutter to make 70 cuts, and the scalpel to make 4.

The bane of modern aircraft type: dull livery options. I wanted a realistic paint scheme for this aircraft, suitable for a tactical mission and for the late Nineties tine frame – but the TUDM offers only very limited options. At first I considered the late A-4PTM scheme (either SEA style or a subdued two-tone green/brown scheme) with low-viz markings, but eventually settled for a simple all-grey scheme, inspired by the TUDM’s F-18Ds that arrived in the model’s time frame, too. These were dedicated all-weather strike aircraft and were initially painted overall FS 36118 (USAF Gunship Grey) with low-viz markings. This is very dull and simple, but I nevertheless adopted it for the recce Kfir because it does not distract from the odd nose, and it suits the tactical recce mission profile well.
The basic paint became Humbrol 125, which is a rather bluish interpretation of the tone, and the retrofitted new nose was set apart with FS 36118 from ModelMaster. The cockpit interior was painted in Medium Gull Grey (Humbrol 140) and landing gear as well as the air intakes were painted in bright white (Revell 301) – they really stand out on the dark and uniform airframe! To reduce the contrast a little I took the Gunship Grey over to the inner intake lips and the shock cones - some Kfirs have these intake areas painted all-white, making them stand out blatantly! The outside of the intake lips was painted black, as well as the small nose radome and the antenna bumps under the cockpit.
The interior color of the camera compartment is uncertain, but I painted it in anthracite (Revell 06), while the rotating camera mount became light grey, so that it would be more visible from the outside.
The model received an overall light ink washing to emphasize the engraved surface details as well as some post-shading and weathering through dry-brushing with various shades of medium grey. The markings/decals were puzzled together from a Begemot MiG-29 sheet (national and tactical markings) and the Kfir’s OOB stencils, which had to be – because they are in Hebrew in the Revell kit – partly replaced with low-viz alternatives from leftover Italeri Kfir sheets. The camera window received frames made with 1mm black decal strips. Finally, the model was sealed with matt acrylic varnish.
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.

Marking the end of an era.
I started working for Fidelity on August 1, 2001; yesterday we were informed that our department is closing and our employment will end on March 9, 2009. When I started working there, I was almost 31 years old, living with my boyfriend. As I end working there, I'm a 38 year old wife (of the former boyfriend) and mother of two. I've become known - in the department, at least - for the vast numbers of pictures (printed in black & white on plain white paper, for the most part) taped up in my office. I always put the most recent one on the door. After the picture has been on the door for awhile, I move it into the office - onto the side or front of the filing cabinet or to the overhead cabinets or onto the side of the bookshelf (to the left of the doorway, not visible above).
The above is actually the fourth office I've had during my employment, but the one I've had for the longest.
Who knows, at this point, where I'll be next. Whether I'll have an office. Where my employer will be located (will I still go downtown? out to the suburbs? will I take the el or drive? will my commute be shorter or longer?). Whether I'll have a window. Whether I'll feel ok about papering the furniture with dozens of pictures of my family, mostly my daughters.
There's no severance. My company's health insurance covers all four of us. I started my job search yesterday.

"Practical tips to help parents spot children’s foot problems"
I painted the markings in Blazing Orange over Blood Red, and my white Kabal Symbol is Skull White over Codex Grey. I find that "undercoating" the freehand details like this makes it easier to get decent coverage with the strong colours for the final markings.

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.
Sundial marking the grave of Helen McGregor Paterson, wife of Walter, died 28 Apr 1842. Designed by their grand-daughter, Diana, incorporating 2 cog wheels from Walter Paterson's reaping machine, erected 1936.
“Overlooking Mount Barker on the eastern side, just off the Wellington road and not far from the soldiers' memorial hospital, stands a lonely sundial on the hillside in a clump of trees. . . it marks the grave . . . of a pioneer — Mrs. Walter Paterson, laid to rest away back 98 years ago. . . It is his wife that the sundial commemorates.” [Mount Barker Courier 12 Dec 1940]
“Walter Paterson was working on a reaping machine model at the same time as Ridley, who completed his machine (pushed from the rear by the horses) first. Paterson's model, completed soon afterwards, was of side draught gear, the same as used today.” [Mount Barker Courier 12 Dec 1940]
“It is conceded that Ridley BUILT the first reaper, yet there is good reason to believe that the Walter Paterson who buried his wife on the Mount Barker hillside so many years ago played a major part in the development of this agricultural achievement. Walter Paterson, a blacksmith by trade, soon after landing in the Colony settled at Mount Barker, where, only a few months later, his young wife Helen died after the birth of a son. . . And that brings us back to the quaint sundial memorial under the gum trees. Helen Paterson died in childbirth, but her son, John, lived to be 80. At the close of his life, he was worried that his mother's grave on the hillside might be forgotten, and extracted a promise from his family that they would erect a permanent monument over the site. And not long after John died, the family carried out his wishes. The design of the proposed tombstone was left entirely in the hands of Miss Diana Paterson, John's niece, and a granddaughter, of course, of old Walter and Helen. Diana was also aware — as were all the Patersons— that her grandfather may have had equal claims to fame with Ridley; but it was sheer inspiration which prompted her to plan the memorial as it is today. For, you see, whether the old blacksmith's machine was the first in the field or not the fact remains that he BUILT a reaper. It lay rusting for years in a shed on the Paterson property, until Diana brought it back into the light of day. Now. resurrected, it lives forever in Helen McGregor Paterson's memorial stone — an old-fashioned sundial monument in a paddock on a hill overlooking Mount Barker. The circular concrete base of the memorial is firmly bonded by the huge iron crown-wheel of Walter Paterson's threshing machine — which may well have been Australia's first workable reaper. Iron spokes and other metal parts bind and strengthen the stone column, while a smaller cog-wheel is set firmly on top of the pillar supporting the sundial.” [Advertiser 12 Jan 1952]
“PATERSON.—On the 28th April, at " Yunkunga," near Mount Barker, Walter Paterson, aged 83. A colonist of 55 years.” [Mount Barker Courier 4 May 1894]
“Walter Paterson . . . was a son of Mr. John Paterson, farmer, of Banffshire, Scotland, and was born on April 1, 1811. He married Miss Helen McGregor, in June, 1833, and followed farming until towards the end of 1838, when he sailed with his family for South Australia in the ship Resource, arriving at Holdfast Bay in January, 1839. On landing he went to work for Mr. Hack, of Echunga, as a builder. . . In 1841 he joined Mr. Thomas Lambert in the purchase of 40 acres at Green Bank, near Mount Barker, and by dint of much hard work succeeded in getting a snug home. At this time he had the misfortune to lose his wife, who died on October 18, 1842, leaving him with five little children. In his spare time, between seeding and harvest, he built a threshing machine, the first in the colony. It was all of wood, even to the cog wheels, and for several years did its work well. He also built a bullock-dray, plough, harrows, and in fact made everything required on the farm. . . After this he bought the windmill midway between Mount Barker and Hahndorf, and worked it himself for a number of years. When Ridley's first reaping machine was sent to Mount Barker Mr. Walter Paterson saw it, and started at once to build the first reaping machine used in the Mount Barker district, making everything himself except the wheels. . . As years rolled on the firm took up Bungaroola and Yunkunga land . . . leased country in Hall's Creek, Bugle Ranges. He also purchased a farm in the Bremer, near Callington . . . Mount Attraction Station, near Hergott Springs. . . Taking up 1,000 acres at Clinton, Yorke's Peninsula, he worked it in conjunction with Yunkunga for the last fifteen years. . . a member of the Strathalbyn and Mount Barker District Councils. . . Agricultural Society of Mount Barker. . . Refraining from marrying a second time, he was a widower for fifty-two years. Four of his family are living — Helen, widow of the late Mr. John Paterson, of Victoria, and Kongal S.E.; William McGregor Paterson, J.P., of Dorset House, Hyde Park ; Annie, widow of the late Mr.F. Stone, J.P., of Parkendula, near Mount Barker; and John Paterson, of Clinton Centre, Y.P.” [Register 4 May 1894]
“On a short holiday to Mount Barker Mr. Roy M. Paterson, of Clarence Park, Adelaide, is a grandson of the late John Paterson whose father was Walter Paterson who built the first reaper subsequently used throughout the world. Mr. Roy Paterson had a copy of the deed made 100 years ago for the purchase of the land by Walter Paterson whereon the grave exists of his wife, Helen McGregor, the spot being in a paddock off the Wistow road where the memorial stone still stands in the form of a sundial. The copy of this 100 year old deed reads as follows: ‘Helen Paterson (nee McGregor) wife of Walter Paterson, was buried on Hill abutting on the road on the south side of Section 44G4 Hundred of Macclesfield. The burying ground was conveyed by deed March 14 1851: Thomas Lambert of the district of Mt. Barker in the province of South Australia, a farmer of the one part, and Walter Paterson of the same place of the other part. The burial ground is situated on the South side of the said section, near and bounded by the fence and road measuring from South to North across the centre of the grave (fenced in).” [Mount Barker Courier 15 Mar 1951]

Even though this was supposed to become a late WWII IJA fighter, I did neither want the stereotype NMF look nor the classic green/grey livery or a respective mottled scheme. What I finally settled upon, though, took a long while to manifest, and it looks ...odd.
I wanted a camouflage scheme, but none of the more exotic real world options was fine for me; there had been fighters with black upper surfaces, bright blue ones, or blue mottle on top of NMF. But all this did not convince me, and I eventually created an experimental scheme. And the paint was supposed to look heavily worn, as if the paint had been applied directly onto the bare metal, without primer, so that it chips and flakes off easily.
The tones were supposed to be suitable for high altitudes, but not the classic IJA colors - nothing even close. eventuelly I came up with an all-around turquoise green (ModelMaster Fulcrum Grey Green) plus a pale grey-green (ModelMaster RAF Dark Slate Grey) as contrast for the upper sides. Sick combination, yes, esp. with the Aluminum shining through, which was applied first as a kind of acrylic primer. The camouflage paint was carefully brushed on top of that, with panel-wise strokes from back to front. Tedious, but effective.
The black tail was applied similarly, it is a free interpretation of real IJA markings; for instance, the 244th Sentai arcraft bore all-red tail sections. Black is an uncommon color, but since I wanted to create fictional squadron markings, too, this was a suitable concept. And it looks cool and mysterious...
The cockpit interior was painted with Aodake Iro (Modelmaster), the section behind the pilot's seat and where the sliding canopy moves on the outside, were painted with IJA Dark Green - just an odd idea. In front of the cockpit a black anti glare panel was added. The landing gear and the respective wells were painted with Steel Metallizer (just to set them apart from the lighter Aluminum all around). The propeller was painted in reddish brown tones, the spinner in Humbrol 160 and the blades in 173.
After this basic painting the kit received a black ink wash, and decals were applied. These were taken from various aftermarket sheets, including generic, white and yellow sheet for the Home Defence markings on wings and fuselage, the white fuselage trim or the yellow ID markings on the wings' leading edges.
As next step the complete kit was carefully wet-sanded, primarily from front to back, so that more of the aluminum primer showed through, the decals (esp. the Hinomaru) were worn out and the camouflage paint on top lost some of its hard edges.
The sanding residues had to be cleaned away thoroughly (with a soft toothbrush and lots of water), and then, repairs, e .g. where the bare plastic came through, as well as extra effects with dry-painted, lighter camouflage tones were done. Final cosmetics also include oil and dirt stains with Tamiya"Smoke", also applied by brush.
Once everything was dry and clean (despite the kit's look), everything was sealed under a coat of varnish - a 3:1 mix of matt and gloss Revell Acrylics.
A complex and lengthy painting process, but I think the effort paid out because the procedure mimicks the structure and look of a worn paint job instead of trying to look like it when you paint a cammo scheme and add metal effects "on top". This works for small chips, but not for the flaked look I had been looking for.

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.
Two new marking tools invented for the layout of complex roofs and stairs. I invented the squares out of despairation. Over the past 14 years my carpentry company has framed hundreds of houses with irregular (forced) hips and valleys. There is not much help for irregular hips and valleys in the marketplace. The math is time consuming and payroll adds up when there are 5 guys standing on the ceiling joists waiting for that hip to be leaned up. Time savings on a roof or a stair could be hours per house. Quickly select a roof pitch by pitch or degree. Select a common pitch, a common hip or valley, octagonal hip or valley. Most importantly irregular hips and valleys. The EZ squares will easily replace the traditional framing square. Much more about the squares on the ezsquared website.
