Return to RMS

My wife incautiously signed us up for a new ISP and I no longer have a Usenet account. It's taken me a few weeks to discover that I can get back to RMS via Google Groups! It's surprising how much I've missed you lot.

Last year, I only managed to make one model and I completed that on

31st December so that I wouldn't have to admit that I'd let a whole year go by without finishing a model. This year, I got stuck in early and I'm now working on three kits. They're all Gloster Meteors and I fear that they're the start of one of Enzo's obsessions.

So far, I'm half way through an Xtrakit Meteor F8, almost finished a Matchbox Meteor NF14 with the nose shortened and up to my neck in a Meteor PR10 conversion of another Matchbox kit. I'm already looking ahead to the Airfix F8 as the basis of a FR9 conversion and the Xtrakit F4 and T7. I'm also trying to decide what to do with the Frog/ Novo F4s in the loft. Either this will be the year of the Meteor or I'll be so sick of the damn' thing that most of these never get built. At the moment, the PR10 is using a lot of filler. Between my clumsy work with a razor saw, the roughness of the Aeroclub conversion parts and the vague fit of the Matchbox parts, it's becoming the most- filled model I can remember making.

Is there a cure for these obsessions Enzo?

No... I'm afraid not. You're doomed. Just like the rest of us... :-D

Welcome back, Gordon. You may find that Google Groups is just far too clunky for your liking. If you decide you want to access usenet the old-fashioned way, through a newsreader, then you could get a free usenet account from

We grow on people. Congratulations on your Meteorfest. I used to get hooked on a subject and drag out every piece I had in the stash that related to it. Just don't follow my example and start all of them and only finish a few. :(

Welcome back, Gordon.Sorry, there is no cure. It could be worse, though.I recently received a very odd Russian round wing glider kit in resin. A google search turned up a color photo. That lead me to take a look at the Sword V-173 and I like what I saw. Next came the Sack thingy and now I'm looking for a Hasegawa Flying Flapjack. Is an obsession for round wings even in the books? I even have data and original patents for a Da Vinci airscrew-equipped DH.4 project planned near here in Stinson Beach back in the early 1920s. The wood and fabric airscrew still exist in the rafters of the shed that once was the hanger.My intention is to do five round wing aircraft and/or projects to enter as a collection some time next year.Like I said "no cure".Cheers,Tom=A0> Is there a cure for these obsessions Enzo?> >
