The President’s Column By Sean Fallesen

It seemed slow while we were doing it, but the final numbers

say we had a pretty good distressed kit auction after all.

Thank you all for participating on both the donation and

purchasing end of things. After a couple years now of

essentially running through the stack, I actually went home

with 3 boxes of stuff we weren’t able to get to. Rest assured,

it you’ll see it again in December. (I wish I didn’t have to

see it until December…)

I’ve thought about this before, but this auction really brought

it into focus again. Sometimes there’s something – or

several somethings – in the auction that we just know are

worth a lot. At times we’ll start the bidding higher to reflect

this. Sometimes it still doesn’t advance much and someone

goes home with a fantastic deal on a rare or brand-new kit.

Understood, that’s a part of kit auctions. Heck, I’ve had my

share of amazing deals on things that other people just don’t

want. For example, I’ve picked up a few resin ship kits for

about 25% or less of their retail value at the Ship Modelers Association’s raffle, as I and the

fellow selling them were the only two people at that meeting who had/have any interest in the

subjects, while everyone else is a wooden sailing ship fan.

No, what I’m really unsettled about are things like the railroad cars. Things that don’t fit our

club’s typical interests and for which few, if any, of us know – or would have any interest in

paying – an appropriate price for. I knew it would take a long time, and they would sell very

slowly and cheaply, if at all, if we took them one at a time. Hence, I grouped them a bit

aggressively – but I feel pretty guilty about it. I know they were worth far more than we asked,

and deserved better attention than I gave them. I do not begrudge those who purchased the

railroad items we auctioned off. I am certain you got a fantastic deal, and congratulate you on

your acquisitions. I just feel like I disrespected the donor and the products. I don’t know that

there’s any good answer to this, but I just wanted to express my feelings about it.

The President’s Column

I hope everyone enjoys our guest speaker this month. I will not be there myself, as I will be

halfway around the world working at an orphanage in Uganda. No, seriously, that’s where I’ll

be. One of the things we’re supposed to do is tell the kids about ourselves, our families, and our

hobbies… well, since they asked for it… guess I need to pack a couple kits and supplies to take

along. You know, to show the kids what I do. Yeah, that’s what they’re for…

Have a great meeting. Sorry I will miss it. Tell me all about it when I get back!

News Flash Bob Penikas reports at the June meeting of the B-17 Combat Crew Members and Wingmen’s

Organization a historical military Stars and Stripes was presented at the meeting. Well I’ll let

Bob tell you here.

At last Sunday's B-17 Combat Crew Members & Wingmen's Organization meeting: these two fellows displayed a flag that was on one of the fuel (oiler) ships off Iwo Jima the day our flag was raised on Mt Suribachi in WWII. The fellow on the left realized the importance of the day and asked if he could have the ships flag when it was lowered and on its way to storage for the night. He saved the flag after the war and just recently brought it out for showing. BP

DKA Distressed Kit Auction Thanks to everyone that helped at the DKA and of course to the buyers for making it happen in

the first place. I believe the club netted $533 not bad as our stash is down a bit. If you have

anything that you would like to donate the next DKA will be in December. Bring your stuff to

the meeting to be dropped off. Even half built stuff is good to bid on and thanks.

USA Edition

I’ll try to stay on track with modeling related material in this editorial, however I sometimes need

to address the next crisis in our state which seems to happen all-too frequently out here, like rising

gas prices double the nation average in an attempt to try and get us out of our cars. In reality I

am the Editor and that’s the fun part of putting this thing together every month. My choices and

my layout along with top notch photography from our members makes this a fairly good digital

fish wrap if I may say so. Let’s see what’s inside:

We start here with our National Bird the Bald Eagle since it is

July and the 4th was just celebrated and you can find this bird’s

image everywhere on US documents, monuments, flags and

banners if you look close enough. The first time I saw these

magnificent creatures was on a February business trip to Wanona

Minnesota on the banks of the Mississippi River. We had driven

down from Minneapolis through Red Wing Minnesota on Hwy

61 to our customers manufacturing facilities. There at Wabasha

Minnesota we saw many nests with eagles flying in and out and

also just standing on parts of the frozen Mississippi. I will never

forget that snapshot in my mind. It gave me a good feeling that

we picked the right bird as our National symbol.

If you have been keeping track Foster Rash presented his Part 1

of Gunfight at the OK Corral in the May edition and now the saga continues with Part 2, The Life

and Legend of Wyatt Earp. Foster has a great style of writing that makes you want to see what

happens next. Next up is a photo essay from Mike Budzeika on the IPMS Santa Rosa show. This

is the old Petaluma show reincarnated in Santa Rosa with a new venue. Your editor reports with

the Insane Modeling Posse at the Region 8 and final IPMS Ontario Minicon contest show after

30 years as they have decided to close their doors. The competition was always very tough at

this event. Turn on your A/C, get yourself an Arnold Palmer (no there’s no booze in it but there

should be) and peruse the newsletter. TH

Contest Table By Darnell Pocinich

It’s July and Independence Day has come and gone. I hope all you members have retained all

your modeling fingers after celebrating a safe and sane holiday. Around our home in Fullerton

the night of the 4th sounded like a pre-invasion bombardment was in full swing – lots of bombs

bursting in mid-air and rockets’ red glare.

This month the monthly model contest theme is “Run Silent, Run Deep” -- a salute to the world’s

silent services. This theme translates to building a submarine or some other related undersea

craft. Many movies have highlighted the exploits of the undersea boats over the last 100 years.

Anyone know why some refer to them as “pig boats”? Why not build up a sub in any scale you

choose to flood the contest tables on the 17th. Good luck to all!!! Dive! Dive! Dive! Build!

Build! Build!

In August the contest theme is “Cruiser Challenge”. This will pit the car dudes against the ship

types. Build up a favorite automotive subject or a over-the-bounding-main cruiser-class warship

to compete for the theme award honors as best cruiser.

Over the last five (5) months the contest entries have been well constructed and broad in scope.

Keep up the great work. Our club members enjoy what they see on the contest tables. The vote

counts for many entries are incredibly close, so please remember to vote for your favorite models

each month. DP

Painting N Scale track By Terry Huber I am putting together a small vignette using N Scale train track and structures. I am testing out

various elements that would eventually wind up on my N Scale San Luis & Rio Grande railroad

layout that I am planning. Yes the SL&RG is a working railroad based out of Alamosa CO.

The SL&RG is part of the larger conglomerate of Iowa Pacific that owns other railroad names

as well.

http://www.iowapacific.com/

The section of the old Rio Grande I am modeling is shown as the bright blue section south of

Pueblo CO here on this map. Eventually Union Pacific (UP) bought the Southern Pacific

railroad in 1996 which at the time was just acquired by the D&RGW a few years earlier and

most of the old Rio Grande lines are now UP. At Antonito the narrow gauge railroads of the

Cumbres & Toltec along with the Durango Silverton lines still exist today as Heritage railroads.

Painting N Scale track So for this simple vignette I am using Atlas brand track which I have assembled together for the

main sections of the setting of which will eventually be an Engine House that holds SD90MAC43

locomotives along with a SD45 restoration in progress. The idea here is to take the shiny Atlas

track and try to make it look worn and weathered like real rail sections.

I started out by mixing 3 parts of Model Master (MM) Rust No. 1785 with 1 part each of MM

Flat Black No. 1749 and MM Raw Umber No. 2006. This turns out to be a pretty good rust

looking coat for the rails. I airbrushed the rails on the inside an outside of each rail. Next up I

dry brushed heavy the outside ties as well as just inside the ties next to the rails with MM RLM

66 German Gray and then finished off with Mr. Hobby Green Brown No. H402 aqueous mostly

down the middle of the tracks. After everything dried I lightly sanded the top of the rails with a

Fine sanding stick. There you have my take on weathered rails.

At left we have at the bottom of the

photo the Atlas track out of the

package, and then the airbrushed rust

color in the middle, and then the final

dry brushed and sanded section at top

just below the paints I used.

At right is the weathered section. Try some

different colors yourself for different types of

weathering. It seemed so easy to do and the

results looked great! TH

The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp

The Building Boom Continues

by Foster Rash In May’s IPMS OC newsletter I related how the story of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral had

sparked a building boom in my HO train layout town of Tecopa Springs. I ended the story with

Wyatt Earp fleeing Arizona Territory a wanted man in connection with five vigilante killings.

How did such a man become the super hero lawman we think we know?

And the building boom continues in Tecopa Springs!

Wyatt Earp was born in Illinois in 1848 and following the Civil War, his family moved to San

Bernardino, CA. His older brother Virgil found work as a stage coach driver with Wyatt riding

shotgun. By 1866 Wyatt was a teamster transporting supplies for the construction of the Union

Pacific railroad and became a skilled gambler. His parents moved

to Missouri where his father became a policeman and got Wyatt a

job on the force. Wyatt married but when his pregnant wife died

of typhoid, he went into a downward spiral and had a series of

legal problems. In 1870 he was accused of misappropriating

county funds. He fled to Illinois and worked in a brothel with his

brother Morgan. Wyatt was a big man, over six feet tall, worked

as a bouncer for his brother and was arrested several times for

"Keeping and being found in a house of ill-fame." Later in life,

Wyatt claimed to have been a buffalo hunter with Bat Masterson

during this period but court records place him in Illinois.


July 2015

20 | P a g e

The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp Accompanied by prostitute Sally Heckel, he moved to Wichita where his brother James operated

a brothel. Men outnumbered women 20 to 1 on the frontier and prostitution, though illegal, was

accepted. Historians estimate up to 20% of frontier women were sporting ladies. When James

relocated the family business to the boomtown of Dodge City, Wyatt went with him and began a

relationship with prostitute Mattie Blaylock. He supplemented his income from prostitution by

dealing faro at the Long Branch Saloon and as a part-time deputy sheriff during the cattle drive

season.

Mattie Blaylock

While living in Dodge City he became friends with deputy sheriff

Bat Masterson and gambler Doc Holliday. Holiday once helped

Wyatt out of a bad situation with an overwhelming number of

cowboys and Earp credited him

with saving his life.

Doc Holliday

In 1879, Virgil Earp was the Deputy U.S. Marshal for the southern

Arizona Territory with Brother Morgan as his deputy. Wyatt,

Blaylock and another prostitute known as "Big Nose Kate",

Brother James and wife Bessie,

and Doc Holliday all left Kansas for the opportunities in Arizona.

Wyatt stated that "In 1879 Dodge was beginning to lose much of the

snap which had given it a charm to men of reckless blood, and I

decided to move to Tombstone, which was just building up a

reputation." Wyatt took up his old ways as a gambler and part-time

lawman.


July 2015

21 | P a g e

The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp Following the OK Corral gunfight and vendetta, Wyatt fled to Trinidad, CO where his friend Bat

Masterson was Deputy U.S. Marshal and owned a saloon. Wyatt worked as a faro dealer for

Masterson. Wyatt left his house in Tombstone to Mattie Blaylock, where she continued to work

as a prostitute and died of opium addiction in 1888. Josephine "Sadie" Marcus returned to her

family in San Francisco. She rejoined Wyatt in 1883 and remained with him for the rest of his

life. Wyatt and Josie, as Josephine preferred to be called, (although Wyatt often called her Sadie)

travelled through western boomtowns operating saloons and brothels. Wyatt continued to

gamble, acquired ownership in mines and other business deals and amassed a small fortune.

San Diego was a boomtown in 1887. The Santa Fe RR was laying track south through Temecula

Canyon and a rail connection would make San Diego a major west coast port. Wyatt and Josie

moved to San Diego and invested in the booming real estate market there. He eventually

owned four saloons and gambling halls and one, The Oyster Bar at 835

5th, had a lavish brothel upstairs. George's on Fifth restaurant now

occupies that site in San Diego's trendy Gaslamp District.

The Oyster Bar was located at 835 5th St., San Diego

While in San Diego he "lived large" and began investing in and racing

horses. But when the San Diego real estate bubble burst, Earp lost

much of his fortune.

Wyatt and Josie moved to San Francisco in 1891 so that she could be

closer to her family. He took a job as a security guard for

newspaperman William Randolph Hearst's family. Earp was unknown

outside of Arizona at the time, but Hearst printed stories in his

newspaper touting Wyatt Earp as the man who brought law and order to the Wild West. In 1896

the World Championship Fitzsimmons vs. Sharkey boxing match was scheduled in San

Francisco. Owing to his recent celebrity as the man who tamed the Wild West, Earp was asked

to referee. Fitzsimmons was favored 3 to 1 and was winning when Wyatt stopped the bout, ruling

that Fitzsimmons had hit Sharkey below the belt, and awarded the fight to Sharkey.


July 2015

22 | P a g e

The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp It was widely believed that there had been no foul and newspapers alleged a conspiracy among

the boxing promoters and Earp to fix the fight. To escape the notoriety, Wyatt and Josie left San

Francisco for the Alaskan gold rush.

Earp opened The Dexter, a gambling house and saloon, in Nome to "mine the miners" as he put

it. It was the first two story building in town and the second floor had "clubrooms" for

prostitution. He was a partner in the Second Class Saloon, also in Nome. Model railroaders may

be familiar with the Grandt Line HO scale model of the establishment with the colorful false

front.

The Second Class Saloon, Nome

Wyatt and Josie returned from Alaska with $80,000,

(equivalent of over $2 million today). In 1902, they

moved to the silver boomtown of Tonopah, Nevada,

invested in mines and opened the Northern Saloon.

Wyatt and Josie at home in Vidal, California

When Tonopah's gold strike waned, they moved to Goldfield,

another boomtown, where his brother Virgil and his wife were

living. In 1906 he invested in gold and copper discoveries near

the desert town of Vidal, CA. To avoid the heat, he and Josie

spent the summer months in Los Angeles. While living in Los

Angeles, Earp became an unpaid "consultant" on silent cowboy

movies. Basically, he liked to hang out at the movie lots and tell tall tales to whoever would listen.

John Wayne had been an extra and prop boy on Tom Mix westerns.

Movie Cowboy Tom Mix

Wayne said he became acquainted with Earp, who was good

friends with Mix, and credited Earp with the persona Wayne

created in his own films. "I often thought of Wyatt Earp when

I played a film character. There's a guy that actually did what

I'm trying to do," said Wayne. When Wyatt died in 1929,

cowboy actors William S Hart and Tom Mix were

pallbearers. But at the time of his death, Wyatt was still better

known for the Fitzimmons-Sharkey prize fight scandal than

for his actions as a lawman. Josie, who was Jewish, had him

buried in the Marcus family plot at the Jewish cemetery in

Colma, CA. Wyatt and Josie had no children as she was

sterile, possibly due to venereal disease. Josie claimed she

and Wyatt had been married at sea by the ship's captain, so

when Josephine died in 1944, she was buried next to Wyatt.

The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp Wyatt Earp was a hustler who lived on the fringe of respectable

society and his closest companions were gamblers and prostitutes.

He was always looking to make money without working too hard

for it; when the money stopped coming in or his problems became

too great, he would pull up stakes and move on to the next

boomtown. A good biography is Wyatt Earp: A Vigilante Life by

Andrew Isenberg.

So how did Wyatt Earp gain a reputation as a super hero lawman?

In a word, Hollywood! Turn of the century Americans were

fascinated by the Wild West. Many, such as Teddy Roosevelt

went west to see for themselves, others read sensational western

paperback novels. Thomas Edison is credited with producing the

first "western" movie in 1899 with a silent short film Cripple Creek Bar-Room.

Showdown in the street

By the 1920's, Hollywood was making western

melodramas by the score. Stuart Lake was an author of

western novels and screenplays who was introduced to

Wyatt by Bat Masterson. Masterson suggested that Earp

might have some stories to tell about his experiences on the

frontier. Wyatt was interested in writing his biography but died early in the collaborating process

with Lake. Josephine wanted Lake to tell "a nice clean story" and insisted that no mention could

be made of Wyatt's involvement in gambling or prostitution. At one point she threatened to sue

Lake for defamation. That left Lake with only Wyatt's occasional exploits in law enforcement

on which to base a book. Capitalizing on public interest at the time in crime-fighter Elliot Ness

("The Untouchables"), Lake embellished and fabricated a portrayal of Earp as a dedicated, perfect

lawman who, like Ness, could do no wrong and single-handedly cleaned up towns full of cowboy

gangsters. One of the most enduring concoctions in this fictional whitewashed biography, was

that of the Buntline Special. The Buntline Special was a pistol with a 12" barrel that Lake claimed

was specially made for Earp to pistol whip criminals.

The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp Lake's portrayal of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral established Wyatt Earp as the most fearless

lawman in the Old West.

Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal was published in 1931 and became a best-seller. The misleading

title sets the tone for the book, because Wyatt Earp had never been a marshal, he had never been

more than a part-time deputy. It is ironic that Virgil Earp was portrayed as Wyatt's side-kick

when it was actually Virgil who spent his entire life in law enforcement as a sheriff and U.S.

Marshal and gave Wyatt jobs. After recovering from the ambush in Tombstone, Virgil took a job

as a guard for the Southern Pacific railroad and later became a policeman in Colton, CA.

Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal

Lake wrote a screenplay for a movie based on the book but Josie

pressured the producers to remove Wyatt's name. Josie feared

publicity might bring the skeletons out of the closet. When a

remake of film was made in 1939 starring Randolph Scott, the

studio was able to reach a settlement with Josie. Since then, Wyatt

Earp has inspired numerous movies

and television programs about

lawmen and outlaws in the Old West.

The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp After Josephine's death in 1944, Lake wrote another book about Wyatt Earp titled My Darling

Clementine. Director John Ford developed it into the movie of the same name starring Henry

Fonda as Wyatt, Victor Mature was cast as Doc Holliday and Linda Darnell played the Josie

character, a Mexican prostitute called "Chihuahua."

Henry Fonda as Wyatt

Burt Lancaster portrayed Wyatt as a heroic lawman in Gunfight

at the O.K. Corral (1957). Rhonda Fleming played the Josie

character "Laura," as a glamorous lady gambler. Kirk Douglas

played Doc Holliday.

Dozens of TV westerns were cranked out in the 1950s. The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp,

Gunsmoke, Bat Masterson, Tombstone Territory and Johnny Ringo were all inspired by the Wyatt

Earp legend. By 1959 there were 30 Westerns on TV and everything I thought I knew about the

Wild West, I learned from movies and TV!

Stuart Lake wrote for the television series The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp (1955-61) with

Hugh O'Brien in the title role and Randy Stuart played his girlfriend, a Tombstone saloon and

"hotel" owner, Nellie.

The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp Hour of the Gun (1967), attempted to be more historically accurate than prior portrayals of the

OK Corral fight but Jason Robards was a bit old for the Holliday role. Roger Ebert praised the

film as one of James Garner's best performances.

It's a fact that movie cowboy Tom Mix and Wyatt Earp were

friends (Mix was a pallbearer at Wyatt's funeral) in 1920's Los

Angeles. But everything else about this movie is a complete

fabrication. Earp and Mix team up to solve a murder at a

Hollywood brothel for the rich and famous. Along the way they expose Hollywood sleaze, flirt

with flappers, tangle with gangsters and corrupt police, drive some beautiful classic cars, fly an

airplane and attend the Academy Awards! This fantasy comedy-

drama, directed by Blake

Edwards of Pink Panther fame,

is a cross between Rockford

Files and Moonlighting.

their actual names rather than pseudonyms.

Kurt Russell played Wyatt, Sam Elliot as Virgil in

Doc Holliday was reportedly something of a well-

educated smart-ass. Val Kilmer played that character to the hilt in Tombstone.

Holliday: "Maybe poker's just not your game, Ike. I know, let's have a

spelling contest."

Billy Clanton: "You're so drunk, you can't hit nothin'. In fact, you're

probably seeing double!"

Holliday: "I have two guns, one for each of ya."

Kevin Costner as Wyatt Earp

Kevin Costner played the title role in

Wyatt Earp (1994) which is perhaps the

most factual movie portrayal of his time in

Tombstone and alludes to some of Wyatt's

unsavory aspects. Mattie Blaylock is

portrayed as a prostitute but Josie is

depicted as showgirl. Film ends with

Wyatt and Josie heading for Alaska.

Modeling the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral

OK Corral after the fire OK Corral today

Once I built the corral, I had to model The Gunfight. I compressed the scene by eliminating

vacant lots and many structures (The 1886 Sanborn Fire Insurance map of Tombstone shows 21

structures in the same block as the O.K. Corral). I scratch built Fly's Lodging House, and Bauer's

Butcher Shop but I needed a few generic Old West buildings to fill out the scene. While I was

striving to accurately model the structures significant to the gunfight, I was not trying to build an

exact model of Tombstone; some of the structures are generic just to create an Old West

boomtown atmosphere. I bought some pre-owned plastic structures and did a little rework to

backdate and upgrade them with Grandt Line windows and other details.

The gunfighters are 18mm white metal gaming figures available from Blue Moon

http://www.bluemoonmanufacturing.com/index.php?cat_id=69. Most of the other figures

around town are inexpensive plastic from Micro Mark that have been altered with a little putty

and paint for an Old West appearance. Other figures are from Woodland Scenics. Wagons and

stagecoach were built from

Jordan Highway Miniatures kits.

In the course of my research I found a photo of the original Long Branch Saloon in Dodge City

and photos of the Long Branch set from the Gunsmoke TV show.

IPMS Santa Rosa Hobby Expo 2015

Photos by Mike Budzeika

Comments by your Editor So this is the new contest venue for the IPMS

Sonoma County along with IPMS Mt. Diablo at the

Wells Fargo Center for the Performing Arts in Santa

Rosa CA. This was the first show at this location on June 13th where the clubs traditionally held

the contest in Petaluma CA. My personal memory from the Petaluma show was the wonderful

and plentiful raffle on deck which I had won several kits and along with everyone else the car

home was so packed you could not see out of the windows. Also the great way they blend other

modeling clubs and their subjects to present at the show such as R/C vehicles and boats, all scales

of model trains, Bot builders, small working engines, Star Wars and other Sci-Fi movie props and

costumed players. So this time a few of the members of the IPMS South Orange County Insane

Modeling Posse made the trip north to the show and Mike took the pictures. Look for Mark

Glidden, David Frederick and Mike Budzeika’s models in this mini-essay. (Ed.)

I was told that the show was pretty good

although the skylights in the facility with

their Death Ray of sunlight might be good for photography maybe not-so-much for the models

so folks were concerned about melted plastic under the ray. Although nothing happened with

regards to melted models but if you have labored for 40-100 hours on a project of course your

concerned. I am sure The Insane Modeling Posse is already planning the return trip for next

year. (Ed.)

Club Opportunity Special Announcement IPMS Orange County has been approached by a very significant and reputable local

organization, Lyon Air Museum, for some assistance. The museum is largely staffed by

volunteers, including many military veterans, who donate their time and experience to help

educate the public about America’s military aviation heritage. I think this opportunity is very

exciting and provides a means of both individual participants, and the Club, to receive some

recognition for the high quality of work we do.

The museum, located at Orange County Airport, has undertaken an ambitious program to

expand and improve historical exhibits about military aviation history. Along with the

impressive collection of airworthy historic aircraft at the museum, these exhibits will serve as

an integral part of the educational experience afforded to visitors and group tours at the facility.

IPMS has been asked for help in providing completed models that will be key elements in

permanent exhibits currently under development and planned for the future. These displays

reflect various eras of military aviation history. The Curator for Exhibits at the museum has

been kind enough to share their well thought out and researched Master Plan for these exhibits

with me. Portions of this I can share with you, and I can assure you that their plan is very

achievable and would reflect well upon anyone who participates.

Specifically, they are looking for skilled modelers to build models of specific aircraft (and some

ships) that will help tell the story of particular campaigns or events in military aviation history.

Models within a display will have a consistent scale. These models will serve as important

elements of planned exhibits, along with historical artifacts, photos, illustrations and text

designed to educate viewers about specific aviation history topics. Though the museum already

has a number of completed displays, they have others in development. For the displays under

development, some models are already completed, but there are others still to be made. A

preliminary list of the models needed for near-term exhibit projects is attached at the end of this

document for your consideration.


July 2015

Club Opportunity

Some basic answers to your questions:

- The models built will become the property of the museum and will not be returned to the

builder.

- The museum will display the models in professional level display cases, along with

graphics, story boards, memorabilia, etc.

- Modelers will receive credit for their individual work in the display, along with IPMS/OC

as an organization.

- The museum is willing to either provide the kits (they already have a number of them) or

reimburse the modeler for the cost new kits purchased for the project and expenses for

paint, decals, etc. (requires prior approval).

- The museum will not compensate modelers for time required to do this work; it is on a

volunteer only basis.

- The majority of the models are “out-of-the-box” type of builds, but with a high quality of fit

and finish and using appropriate weathering. Specific requirements for each model will be

coordinated with the museum Curator.

- A few of the models will require some modification by means of either scratch building or

using a resin conversion set.

- The models will generally not require a base. In select cases, dioramas may be appropriate,

although space for this type of display is very limited.

- Though there are no set deadlines, there is a priority to get some models done sooner rather

than later. The museum Curator has reasonable expectations regarding time required for

building a high quality model. The emphasis is on quality over schedule.

- The museum is willing to consider models you have already completed for inclusion in an

exhibit, as long as they fulfill identified needs and meet museum quality standards. The

Curator will also consider suggestions for alternative models that could serve the same

purpose in an exhibit.

Additionally, there are opportunities for IPMS/OC Members to assist in doing research on

individual aircraft, color schemes and squadron/personal markings of certain aircraft. This

research may be done using your own libraries and sources and/or it may also utilize the

archives of Lyon Air Museum or The American Aviation Historical Society, based in

Huntington Beach.

Club Opportunity

I would like to think that this opportunity can be used as the first step toward an on-going

relationship between our club and Lyon Air Museum. If IPMS can make a meaningful

contribution to historical exhibits, there may be other ways for our organization to contribute to

the museum’s mission, including participation in museum special events and/or temporary,

theme-oriented displays. Success of this activity will also provide a unique opportunity to

promote awareness of our organization and greater appreciation for the value of scale modeling

as an educational resource.

IPMS members interested in supporting this project should coordinate their participation

through IPMS. Members should not contact the museum directly. For the time being our

member Nat Richards will be serving as the coordinator of this project from the IPMS/OC end

of the equation. If you would like more information, have questions, or would like to volunteer

to participate, please speak to Nat. He can be reached by telephone at 949-631-7142 or via e-

mail at: [email protected]

4. A chapter covering Squadrons & Deployments takes looks at every squadron that flew

the Demon with paint schemes and markings illustrated by photographs and color

artwork developed specifically for this publication. Every deployment made by these

squadrons is covered with a brief unit history of each. Many rare and never-before-

published color photographs of Demons are also included in this section and throughout

the book.

5. Demon Details is the most extensive detail chapter ever included in a Detail & Scale

publication illustrating the Demon with scores of detail photographs. All of the photos

are in color, and almost all were taken specifically for this publication to provide the best

and most complete coverage possible in this detailed look at the aircraft.

6. Detail & Scale’s usual Modeler’s Section that discusses, reviews, and illustrates the scale

models of the Demon.

Other features of the book include four-view scale drawings in color and original and highly

detailed artwork illustrating the cockpit details and the two types of ejection seats, all of which

were created specifically for this publication. There is also a look at the restoration process for

the Demon on display at the National Museum of Naval Aviation.
