The president of the Coalition of African-American Pastors (CAAP) says that the Obama administration's assertion that single-sex bathrooms are discriminating against gender-confused individuals in much the same way that blacks experienced discrimination in the United States is a "gross insult" to all who fought for equality for African-Americans.

Chief Justice Roy Moore of the Alabama Supreme Court issued an order Wednesday that prohibits probate courts from granting marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
In an interview with Breitbart News, Rev. Bill Owens said that, should the Supreme Court decide in favor of same-sex marriage, he envisions another civil rights movement of Christians of various churches and massive civil disobedience.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- After seeing our segment with the CHP about front-tinted windows, an ABC30 viewer wanted to know: can I tint my front windows if I have a doctor note?
"This comes up quite often," said Sgt. Brian Pennings with the California Highway Patrol. "If that is your case, that's fine, but you have to have your note from your doctor."
"But the vehicle code is also very specific and says that that shade shall be removable," Penning said. "You have to be able to take it off, and it shall not be used during the hours of darkness."
So does that give you the ability to go have tint applied to your front windows with a doctor's note? "The answer simply is no," he said.
Pennings gave the following example: if you're married and your wife has a skin condition and a doctor's note, she can put the shade up. But when you get into the car, the doctor's note is not for you, so you have to remove it.
"It's usually applied either by static, or they're applied by suction cup," Pennings said of the types of removable shades that would work.
"You cannot have a film applied to your window that cannot be readily removed."

Home > About > Campus Facilities
Seven main buildings serve the academic, residential and spiritual needs of the 80-acre Summit campus. The administration works diligently to ensure a safe environment for the college community. Infrastructural upgrades and technological improvements are attended to annually.
The Eric A. Hornby Memorial Academic Building: This building houses several campus facilities: the majority of the college's administrative and faculty offices, including the President, Dean of Education, Dean of Graduate Studies, Dean of Students, Director of Finance, Omega Global, Distance Education, and Enrolment Services; seven classrooms; the college bookstore; and a student lounge.
In the Spring of 2010, the college completed a building program that added the Revival and Learning Centre to the newly renovated Academic Building providing new classrooms and faculty offices. New administration offices were added to the east wing in 2018.
The L. T. Holdcroft Residence: Constructed in 2001, this four-story building can house 140 students (70 double rooms) spread over three floors. Each room has two single beds, built in desks, chairs, and a walk-in closet. A full washroom is shared between two rooms. These three floors also have designated prayer rooms, laundry rooms with coin operated washers and dryers, and lounges equipped with a gas fireplace. The 3rd and 4th floor lounges have full kitchen facilities (i.e., stove, fridge and microwave). The lower level houses the offices of the Campus Pastors, a board room and a 160-seat cafeteria which opens onto a large patio. A TV room with amphitheater seating, a games room equipped with ping pong and pool tables, as well as rooms for storage are also located on this level
The Mary Ellen Anderson Memorial Chapel: Constructed in 1986, the 350-seat chapel features a stained-glass window. The chapel contains storage rooms adjacent to the platform and a sound room. The basement houses faculty offices, a classroom seating forty, a music lab, recording studio and seven music practice rooms. The chapel was completely refurbished in 2010. Air-conditioning, new lighting, sound and media technology was installed in 2018.
The Lorne Philip Hudson Memorial Library: Constructed in 1988, the library houses a collection which now totals more than 100,000 items, including books, CDs, newspapers, magazines journals, musical scores and DVDs. The library also has an extensive archival collection of items pertaining to the college and the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. The library includes a digital database of its collection, with remote access, and several public access computers. The Library hosts its own web site (library.summitpacific.ca), including access to the library database and to electronic books, journals, newsletters, audio recordings, videos and reference web sites. The library exterior was completely refurbished in 2013. Extensive renovations to the interior added new book stacks and improved study areas for student research in 2017. The Graduate Studies department received the Roger J. Stronstad library of over 900 theological texts. Additionally, hundreds of English literature classics were donated by Roger
The William J. Friesen Residence: This four-suite apartment contains three three-bedroom apartments, one two-bedroom apartment and a common laundry room. Depending on individual needs either married or single students may be housed in the suites.
The Vernon R. Morrison Residence: This sixteen-unit apartment contains nine one-bedroom and seven two-bedroom suites. Although smaller than the standard size, the second bedroom in the two-bedroom suite is adequate as a child's room or as a study. The building also has a laundry room and individual storage lockers. Depending on individual needs, either married or single students may be housed in the suites. Extensive renovations with new windows were completed in 2017.
The Phil and Jennie Gaglardi Memorial Gymnasium: This building doubles as a college size gymnasium with room for spectators and an auditorium seating up to 600 people. College banquets are held in the gym at Christmas and Graduation. It also houses a fitness room and washroom/shower facilities. Significant upgrades were completed in 2013 and 2016.

When she's not studying, inventing, or experimenting, Ghoulia is most likely to be found enraptured by a comic book or writing and drawing her own.
She is in particular a fan of Dead Fast and regularly cosplays as her OC, Ms.
Ghoulia can be very unhappy with Cleo often though because of her intelligence.
Examples are in webisodes "Copy Canine" and when Cleo tells Clawdeen to copy from Ghoulia, or when Cleo steals her science project in "Mad Science Fair".
The two have been the closest of friends ever since, Ghoulia being one of the few to enjoy Cleo's complete trust.
Other than Cleo, Ghoulia favors the company of other zombies, with Sloman "Slo Mo" Mortavitch and Don of the Dead being her main zombie friends.
The only positive thing/good thing about this movie were the blue Supra and the red Skyline at the end..
In the English version of the cartoon series, Ghoulia's vocal effects are provided by Audu Paden.
In the music video for the Fright Song, there are several character analogues who received creative interpretation by the video crew.

Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy said he gathered from his father, late Justice Chukwudifu Oputa, that the Supreme Court's judgements are not always without blemish.
Late Oputa was judge of the apex court between 1984 to 1989.
Charly Boy spoke of the insight into the rulings of Supreme Court the deceased shared with him while leading a protest against the court's verdict that ousted Emeka Ihedioha in Owerri on Wednesday.
He said, "We are here because of the progress of Imo, especially the youths who have people like me. The Supreme Court judges made a mistake and what we are doing here is to say there has been a miscarriage of justice. We are pleading with the justices that they should please reverse themselves on Imo."

Start spring with this light but delicious baked gnocchi recipe. Gnocchi alone does not have a ton of flavor, so make sure to salt and pepper and be generous with the cheese. Don't have bacon? Sausage or spinach is a good alternative. We used store-bought potato gnocchi, but homemade or sweet potato gnocchi would also be great!
Baked Gnocchi Recipe
Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Servings: 4
32 ounces Packaged Gnocchi
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Butter
2 tablespoons Flour
¾ cup Milk
¾ cup Cream
Salt and Pepper, to taste
1 ½ cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
½ cup Parmesan Cheese, shredded
4 strips Bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 cups Frozen Peas, thawed
¼ cup Chives, chopped
Cook the gnocchi: Preheat the oven to 350F. Cook the packaged gnocchi according to package directions (this often means pouring the gnocchi into boiling water and cooking until they float to the surface, drain and set aside).
Make the sauce: In a medium saucepan, cook the butter and garlic together over medium heat until garlic just begins to brown. Whisk in the flour and cook until thickened and flour begins to turn golden.
Gradually pour in the milk and cream and whisk until the mixture is smooth and thickened. Remove from heat.
Toss together the mozzarella and Parmesan. Add ½ cup of the cheese mixture to the garlic cream sauce and stir until melted and smooth. Add the cooked gnocchi and stir to coat. Stir in the crumbled bacon and thawed peas.
Assemble the casserole: Grease an 8-by-8-inch casserole dish. Add gnocchi mixture to the dish. Top with remaining cheese and bake for about 20 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned and bubbly.
Sprinkle top with chives and serve.

Team sports improve mental health of kids exposed to adversity
Click Here to Manage Email Alerts
Research published in JAMA Pediatrics suggests that children exposed to adverse childhood events, or ACEs, who participated in team sports as adolescents may be less likely to have diagnosed depression, anxiety or current depressive symptoms as adults.
"Some of the pathways between team sports participation and improved adult mental health were through improved feelings of self-esteem, social acceptance and connectedness to school," study researcher Molly C. Easterlin, MD, a fellow in the National Clinician Scholars Program at the University of California, Los Angeles, told Infectious Diseases in Children. "Therefore, these factors may be resilience-building. These results suggest that children affected by ACEs may benefit from participating in team sports and other programs that provide psychosocial support."
The researchers analyzed data from 9,668 people included in two waves (1994-1995 and 2008) of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. Participants were included in the analysis if they reported ACE exposure, including physical and sexual abuse, emotional neglect, parental alcohol misuse, parental incarceration and living with a single parent.
Nearly half (49.3%) of participants reported exposure to one or more ACEs, and 21.3% reported exposure to two or more, the researchers said.
To account for the possibility that children who participate in team sports are inherently different from those who do not, the researchers weighted their analyses for participation in team sports based on propensity scores. They found that those who participated in team sports as a teenager were significantly less likely to be diagnosed with depression (16.8% vs. 22%; adjusted OR = 0.76; 95% CI, 0.59-0.97) and anxiety (11.8% vs. 16.8%; aOR = 0.7; 95% CI, 0.56-0.89). Adults who played team sports as teenagers also were less likely to have current depressive symptoms compared with those exposed to ACEs but did not play team sports as teenagers, but this finding was not statistically significant in fully adjusted analyses (21.9% vs. 27.5%; aOR = 0.85; 95% CI, 0.71-1.01).
Easterlin and colleagues found no differences in mental health outcomes by sex in relation to team sports participation and mental health. However, boys were less likely to have depression (aOR = 0.67; 95% CI, 0.46-0.99), anxiety (aOR = 0.66; 95% CI, 0.45-0.96) and depressive symptoms (aOR = 0.75; 95% CI, 0.56-0.99), whereas girls were less likely to receive an anxiety diagnosis only (aOR = 0.73; 95% CI, 0.54-0.98).
Easterlin said that based on these findings, pediatricians may want to recommend team sports participation for patients exposed to ACEs to support their long-term mental health.
"For patients less inclined to play team sports, pediatricians and other health care professionals could recommend school or community programs that target feelings of self-esteem, social acceptance and connection to school," she said. "Additionally, more broadly, pediatricians and other health care professionals should use this information to advocate for making team sports programs at the school and community level accessible to all children, equitable and strong." – by Katherine Bortz

Our dear student Jay takes over today's blog and talks
a bit not only about her experience here at EC DC but also about her travels along the East Coast. She's been with us for a few months already, but sadly her time here is almost at an end. This is her long slow goodbye.
Read some of her thoughts below:
Haven't you ever dreamed about traveling east of America? Starting from the IVY districts, down to the most visited place New York, then the heart of the United States, Washington D.C., to Miami's breathtaking coast line, you can get a variety of experiences being in the East.
Washington D.C., the first city that I lived in out of my country, is the most amazing city that I have ever spent time in. Many parks creating a relaxing environment, free admission to museums and historical sites for all people and the Happy Hour drew me more into this city. Beautiful architectures on each street make me think I am in a gigantic public exhibition; thus, you have no time to feel bored while you stay in here. In addition, wherever your steps touch, large or small green spaces will be there, sometimes when the weather is sunny, I usually go there and enjoy sitting on a bench, doing my homework after finishing school.
The irresistible offers from many restaurants, the happy hour, is not only a wonderful time to build a good relationship with your friends but also it is good chance to practice your English skills at EC English Washington by chatting with people who you haven't met before, gathering around a table eating delicious food, isn't it nice?
Many kinds of transportation help you to travel to different cities. I decided to go to New York as the first city for tour during the Memorial Day adding a day more. There were flight, train, bus and car to get there; since most people ride a bus because of their reasonable price and good quality, I chose a bus which took 4 hours but it was worth the ride.
In afternoon of that day I arrived, I went to the MOMA, the Museum Of Modern Art, which I was longing to visit in my itinerary. It was a first time to see real pieces of many artists of the past who are still famous; moreover, I watched them in front of my eyes and felt every touch and curves which never be noticed in pictures on your textbooks.
I also took a ferry tour to see a Statue of Liberty and visited top of the rock to see twilight beyond the building forest and magnificent night view of this city. It was really meaningful for me because it was the only chance that I could have while living in east investing small amounts of time in each trip.

Received 31 August 2019; Accepted 19 November 2019; Issue published 01 February 2020
To compensate for the shortcomings of quasi-static law in anti-fatigue analysis of foundry crane metal structures, the fatigue life evaluation method of foundry crane metal structure considering load dynamic response and crack closure effect is proposed. In line with the theory of mechanical vibration, a dynamic model of crane structure during the working cycle is constructed, and dynamic coefficients under diverse actions are analysed. Calculation models of the internal force dynamic change process of dangerous cross-sections and a simulation model of first principal stress-time history are established by using the steel structure design criteria, which is utilised to extract the change of first principal stress of danger points over time. Then, the double-parameter stress spectrum is obtained by the rain flow counting method. The fatigue life calculation formula is corrected by introducing a crack closure parameter that can be calculated by the stress ratio and the effective stress ratio. Under the finite element model imported into Msc. Patran, crack propagation analysis is performed by the growth method in the fatigue integration module Msc. Fatigue. Taking the metal structure of a 100/40t-28.5m foundry crane with track offset as an example, the accuracy of calculation results and the feasibility and applicability of the proposed method are verified by theoretical calculation and finite element simulation, which provide a theoretical basis for improvement of the fatigue resistance design of foundry cranes.

If you own a small business in New York, or you are a homeowner with a nanny, the law requires that you obtain workers compensation insurance. Although there are a few industries that are exempt from this requirement, it is mandated that most businesses have this type of coverage. If your business is found in violation of this requirement, you could be subject to an assessment from the New York State Workers Compensation Board of Compliance. In addition, you could also face criminal charges under some circumstances.
Unfortunately, small business owners with innocent intentions can still receive violation notices from the New York State Workers Compensation Board of Compliance. For example, the New York Department of Labor (DOL) may conduct an assessment into an unrelated issue and discover that you don't have workers compensation insurance. The Workers Compensation Board does not consider your intentions when issuing penalties. The violation notices are based on facts, which is why sometimes small business owners who didn't know they needed workers compensation insurance can still face penalties.
In the past few years, there has been a significant increase in violation notices issued to small businesses and homeowners across the New York from the Workers Compensation Board of Compliance. This has resulted in homeowners and small business owners having to pay thousands of dollars in fines. If you get a notification from the New York State Workers Compensation Board for not having workers compensation insurance coverage for your workers, it is vital to contact an experienced attorney for confidential guidance on the best course of action. Our law firm has extensive experience helping small businesses and homeowners with a nanny save thousands of dollars in penalties. We can help you fight the penalty so you can continue to focus on your business or home.
It is important to note that when you ignore a notification letter from the New York Workers Compensation Board, there could be serious consequences. The Workers Compensation Board of Compliance is diligent in its attempts to collect violation payments. If left unpaid, your penalty could be released to a collection agency or attorney to seek judgement in favor of the Workers Compensation Board. When this occurs, the Workers Compensation Board has the power to take steps to enforce the judgement. As a result, a lien could be placed on your property and a hold on your bank accounts. In addition, you could also face higher insurance premiums for years and face thousands of dollars in fines. If the required payment for a penalty goes to default, it could accumulate interest. Don't let this happen to you. Contact our law office today. We can help protect your assets and business.
What is a Judgement?
A legal judgement resolves all unsettled issues, which terminates the claim, and it is the official decision of the law. At this point, the New York Workers Compensation Board can freeze your bank accounts and put a lien on your property. This will have a negative impact on your credit score, and it could hinder your ability to work with other vendors.
What is a Stop Work Order?
According to Workers Compensation Article 141-b, a business could be issued a Stop Work Order that requires the business to cease all activities if there isn't workers compensation coverage or if there is an outstanding payment owed to the Workers Compensation Board. In addition, a receipt of a Stop Work Order could lead to your business being banned from any New York State, municipal, or public works subcontract or contract for one year. If the violation is a felony, debarment could last for five years.
What if You Recently Closed Your Business?
This will depend on various circumstances. We advise you to contact our law office to speak with one of our Workers Compensation defense attorneys.
Steps to Take When You Have Been Issued a Workers Compensation Notice
After you receive a notification letter from the New York State Workers Compensation Board, you should immediately contact an experienced New York State Workers Compensation lawyer. While you can represent yourself during this time, it could have a negative impact on your business and yourself. There are many small business owners who attempt to start the process on their own and find themselves unprepared to carry it out, which is why it is important to let an experienced attorney help.
Next, you should begin to gather all the required documents. These documents typically include payroll and tax records, which can be extremely helpful with your defense. To find out more about how our attorneys can help you, contact us today.

Meng "Egg" Type VII U-Boat
Farnarkle posted a topic in Ready for Inspection - MaritimeHello All, I normally do not venture into the briny side of modelling but made an exception as a 'no pressure try out some more weathering techniques" build. The kit appealed as It is a rapid build snap together kit that has very good fit and engineering. Anyway it was fun to do as something very different for me. Thanks for looking, Happy Modelling, oh by the way, some exceptional stuff here on this thread..... Might have to have a bit of a further go these briny things. Ian
So, Christmas came and went, and as requested, a new U-Boat kit was left. Good old Santa. I'd completed (debatable) a Revell 05015 1/72 Type VIIc earlier in the year. Despite struggling through the endless painting/weathering, I'd committed to, much to my surprise I wanted more. It was my first plastic model for over 20 years but with a bit of patience, my first attempt at weathering ended to my liking. I'd also added quite a bit of DIY detailing which I particularly enjoyed. So, on to the Type IX. It's a big un at 1063mm (nearly 43") long. I wanted to go to town on the detail with this one so I bought most of RCSubs.cz photo etch sets including the 105mm deck gun. I didn't buy the hand rail kit as I prefer the DIY approach with these with copper and brass wire. This is the first time I've even seen PE so I was quite surprised just how thin it is. I was equally surprised by the small size of some of the hundreds of parts. The deck sections also looked more daunting now that they were on the table. More on that later. Well, that's my project intro. I've taken plenty of pictures so I'll start blogging to bring the build up to date. Please feel free to comment along the way. Be as critical as you like..........your genuine thoughts and advice are valued. Andy.
Hobbyboss 1/350 Type VIIC U-Boat
Bill.B posted a topic in Ready for Inspection - MaritimeHaving been impressed by the Hobbyboss 1/350 scale Type IXC U-Boat, which features somewhere in the depths of this section, I've had a go at their Type VIIC sub to the same scale. This time I've made a waterline version using a small 'Coastal Kits' base which is about spot on scale wise. The model itself is built OOB and employs the supplied photo etch parts, and again I've used human hair for the aerial wires and superglue for the insulators. Overall I'm quite pleased, but the flag leaves a lot to be desired so I'm looking at ways of producing a more scale like item. Two Pence piece gives an idea of size.
Eduard German Submarine Type VIIc/41. (53228)
Shar2 posted a topic in AftermarketGerman Submarine Type VIIc/41 Eduard 1:350 The Revell 1:350 Type VIIc/41 kit, reviewed HERE, is very nice out of the box, but, as with all things model related it can still benefit from some finer details and who else but Eduard would come to the detail mad modeller? (53228) The single sheet set combines a selection of new and replacement parts to give you U-Boat that extra zing, even in this scale. The sheet contains, new deck sections for the fore peak and right aft, new hatches for the rest of the deck, along with fittings for the foreplanes and propeller shaft A frames. There are new intakes for around the hull, plus propeller guards/aerial supports on the aft deck. The tower receives new decks for the 20mm cannons and winter garden deck for the 37mm cannon. The interior of the conning section receives new boarding on the sides as well as a new DF aerial and a complete replacement for the search radar array. The 20mm and 37 mm cannon also get extra details, some replacing kit details that are rather clunky and some new. The biggest improvement over the kit parts has to be the railings though, both for the tower structure and the hull. Conclusion Eduard just can't help themselves with providing detail sets for almost every kit that has been released. This small, but perfectly formed set is just perfect though for bringing a finesse that the kit parts can't hope to emulate. Don't forget your magnifiers when you start to use the PE though as most are extremely small in this scale. Review sample courtesy of
U96 1/72 Type VII U-Boat (Revell 05015)
AndyPG posted a topic in Ready for Inspection - MaritimeHi All, This is my version of U96 completed late last year. Thought it was about time I presented it for inspection. No PE used but all handrails and other additional fine detailing made from soldered copper and brass wire. Free flood vents opened up. Rigging is Dacron. Case constructed from 3mm glass stuck together with black polyurethane sealant and framed with painted aluminium angle. Light weathering and rust. My first attempt at fine scale and weathering. Sits on our lounge mantle piece (for now) Here's a link to my present project.
Revell Type VIIC/41 U-Boat. 1:350Type VIIC/41 U-Boat Revell 1:350 Type VIIC/41 was a slightly modified version of the successful VIIC and had basically the same engine layout and power. Armament was the same with 5 torpedo tubes (4 at the bow and one at the stern). The biggest difference was that these boats had a stronger pressure hull giving them more depth to evade attack under (operational 120m and crush depth at 250m against VIIC's 100/200). They also had lighter machinery to compensate for the added steel in the hull making them actually slightly lighter than the VIIC. All the type VIIC/41 boats from U-1271 onwards had the mine fittings deleted. The Model The model comes in the new, glossy, but otherwise standard Revell end opening box with a picture of a submarine at sea on the front. Inside there is one large sprue, one small sprue and the two hull halves and deck, all in a medium grey styrene. The moulding on all parts is nicely done, with the vent holes and other detail on the hulls looking really nice. Being a submarine, construction is pretty simple as can be seen by the number of sprues. The build starts with the two hull halves being joined together followed by the deck. The foreplanes are then attached, as are the prop shafts, with integrally moulded fairing and A frame supports, then the propellers themselves. The sternplanes are then fitted, along with the rudders and rudder frame. The tower is assembled from two halves, the command deck, 20mm gun deck and the 37mm gun deck. The foreward periscope is then fitted, followed by the two piece 37mm cannon, and the two twin 20mm cannon are fitted. The main attack periscope is the attached, along with the railings around the 20mm gun deck and the 37mm bandstand. The tower is then glued to the deck, as are the fore and aft mounted guard rails and the snorkel in the raised position. The model is then affixed to the display stand. Decals The single sheet of decals provides markings for U998 and U1004, which also includes the ensign, (without swastika). The decals are nicely produced win good register and slightly matt. The paint schemes though, shows them with the yellow stripe on the tower depicting that they were being used in the training squadron. Leave this off if you want to depict her as an operational boat. Conclusion This is a very nice model of an late U-Boat from a time when Germany was improving all their U-Boat forces. The diminutive size of the completed model means it won't take up much space in the cabinet. Revell model kits are available from all good toy and model retailers. For further information visit

Hobbyboss 1/350 DKM Type IX-C U-Boat
Bill.B posted a topic in Ready for Inspection - MaritimeHello maritime builders. I've been slowly getting back into this hobby this year and this is my very first attempt at maritime modelling so I know there'll be plenty of mistakes, but I wanted to do it to learn new skills and techniques. As described in the 'Work in progress' thread, this Hobbyboss kit is really excellent for its size and cost and is a very quick build. The kit has been built OOTB with the only exception being the VLF aerials. These were added because they're a prominent feature on the full size craft, although finding a suitable scale size medium proved a bit troublesome. In the end my darling partner came to the rescue and donated some of her very fine hair which happened to be near enough scale in thickness. The hair was fixed in place with medium CA glue and the insulators were simply blobs of thick CA. The hair was painted in German Grey and the insulators in Red Brown. I'm fairly happy with the end result and I had intended to place the sub on a 'North Sea' diorama, but chickened out as making dioramas is a whole new skill that I need to learn at a later date. Anyway, modelling at this scale with Mr. Magoo eyes and sausage fingers has tested my patience somewhat (especially the PE and aerial wires), but it's certainly kept me entertained! BTW, as ever, constructive criticism is more than welcome and I must say a big thank you to Tobby on this forum as it was his U-boat presentation that inspired me to have a go.
Hobbyboss 1/350 DKM Type IX-C U-Boat
Bill.B posted a topic in Work in Progress - MaritimeHaving been inspired by Tobby the Hun's 1/350 U-Boat diorama I decided to have a go myself as I've always had a keen interest in Wolfpack subs. As the title suggests I've bought the Hobbyboss type IX (it cost less than a tenner!) and when it arrived on my building board I immediately realised that I should have bought a larger scale because a 1/350 sub is very small (less than 9" long!) for my ageing, arthritic, sausage fingers, but never mind, I like a challenge. Either that or I'm mad! The parts are extremely well detailed considering it's diminutive size and I wonder why some of the larger AFV's seem so crude by comparison. Cost I suppose? Anyway, I didn't take any pictures of the sprues and PE as there really aren't many parts to show so I've waited until the two main structures have been assembled and primed. The PE parts for the various hand rails were a real challenge to shape and adhere in place, but so far I think I've managed to do a half decent job. Next task is the basic colour scheme and marrying the conning tower to the sub. Small details like the guns, antennae and aerial wires will be assembled afterwards. To assist in handling during painting I've tack glued some scrap sprue to the two main parts as the PE is very fragile and vulnerable to being clobbered. BTW, this is my first sea going craft since I built the little Airfix Mayflower when I was a youngster back in the 60's so it's long overdue! To be continued.....
Eduard German 88mm Submarine Main Gun. 1:48
Shar2 posted a topic in AftermarketGerman 88mm Submarine Main Gun 1:48 Eduard Brassin 648-327 Having made resin aftermarket guns for the big Revell 1:72 submarines, Eduard-Brassin have started to release a scaled up version of the 88mm main gun for the huge Trumpeter 1:48 Type VIIc U-Boat. The set is contained in the standard cardboard box used by Brassin, with the parts well protected by foam blocks. The guns parts, even in this scale are quite small, but are really well detailed with plenty of small fragile parts, so take care when removing from the moulding blocks and cleaning them up. U-Boat 88mm gun - [648327]. Unlike some sets where only the barrel of a gun is changed, this pack contains not only the barrel, but the whole mounting. The resin parts include the pedestal, mount, breech bock, barrel mounted rangefinder and optical sights, elevation quadrant, elevation and turning wheel fittings, the elevation and traversing wheels, fittings for the rangefinder, and the prominent crew waist supports. There is a tampion and clamp to be fitted to the muzzle, which is missing the cable that could be seen attached to the tampion and wrapped around the barrel and connected to the gun mounting, although the instructions do give you the length and size of the wire required to make it and how it is wrapped around the barrel. The same is done for the breech cover and what looks like a telephone cable attached to the mounting. As always, check your references as from June 1943 the Atlantic-boats had landed the deck gun. Only in the Mediterranean and the Northern Sea boats kept their guns for a few months longer. In July 1944 some of the VIIc boats from the 8th Flotilla in Konigsberg got their guns back for the patrols in the Baltic Sea against the Russians. A number of Captains were also allowed to re-fit the deck gun when operating in the Indian Ocean. From the quick bit of research I have done, it looks like U-552 kept the gun long after it should have been landed. Conclusion This is a fabulous model in its own right. The detail is superb, as we have come to expect from Brassin and It's great to see this prominent gun being released as it gives modellers the chance to improve on the kit details, The resin is superbly moulded with some very fine detail and will look great mounted on this impressive submarine kit, or even on its own as a vignette.

Eduard German Submarine Flags. 1:72 and 1:48
Shar2 posted a topic in AftermarketGerman Submarine Flags Eduard 1:72 and 1:48 Quite a few maritime kits these days provide a selection of flags and pennants that are printed on paper. These can look ok, but generally always have a tired well worn look, like they've been left in the sun for a few months. Eduard have now added to their collection of etched flags with these two sets in pre-painted steel, which seems to have superseded the etched brass previously used for these sort of things. 53196 – 1:48 U-Boat Flags. This set only contains one ensign, handily printed on both sides, but a good selection of pennants, twenty eight in total for U552. Each pennant has a different number on it; each number depicts the tonnage the submarine sunk on that cruise. The flag and pennants each have an eyelet on the top and bottom corner for you to thread your rigging line through. 53198 – 1:72 U-Boat Flags. This set is similar to the 1/48 scale, in that it too is made from etched steel and the flags printed on either side. This does include two ensigns, one red pennant showing an aircraft having been shot down, one black pennant with the number of ships sunk, four pennants with different tonnages on them and one white pennant with Tanker written on it. There are also five Admirals flags, each depicting the different Admirals of the submarines home Division. Conclusion These are very nice and easy to use sets which would add a dash of colour on your big submarines. How you get the wavy flapping effect is entirely up to you, but it may take a bit of experimentation to get the desired effect. Fortunately the steel used is thin enough to manipulate and get a good effect. Review sample courtesy of
Eduard German Type VIIc U-Boat Etch sets. 1:48
Shar2 posted a topic in AftermarketGerman Type VIIc U-Boat Etch sets 1:48 Eduard Having updated the Revell 1:72 Type VIIc U-Boats, Eduard have now turned their sights onto the huge Trumpeter 1:48 kit, releasing three sets of etched brass, to update the conning tower, upper and lower hull. The hull sets in particular will require quite a bit of surgery to be carried out on the kit to allow the etched parts to fit, but with plenty of care and patience they will make quite a difference to the finished model. 53191 – Part 1, Upper Hull: This large single sheet set contains parts of the main deck, namely the quarterdeck and extreme foredeck. Each deck is fitted out with numerous hatches with separate hinge plates, bollard covers, rear wire spreaders have new support feet, hawse pipes front and rear, new gun mount foot plates, bow mounted wire cutter and support feet, although the rear support arm needs to be made of 56mm x 1.5mm rod. The handrails have new clamps and the guard rails new cable eyes. The main 88mm gun is fitted with a whole load of new fittings. There are a lot more fittings on the sheet, but there doesn't appear to be any mention of them on the instructions, which is rather bizarre. 53192 Part 2, Conning Tower: Although the easiest to use, this single sheet set definitely has the most parts, contained in the smaller, glued sleeve, the set is used to add detail, not only to the tower, but also the AA weapons. The single 20mm Flak 38 gun receives new fittings for the mount as well as the guns itself, with new sights, supports, traversing wheels, brackets and spent casing bags. The decks of the tower are provided with new opening panels. The shelving/seating around the inside of the tower are replaced, as is the housing containing the DF array, whilst the lifering has a new holder. The set also includes the footrests that are fitted to the lower parts of the guardrails. There are numerous hatches for both the inside and outside of the tower, plus the access hatch is fitted with a new locking wheel and latch handle. All the hand rails are provided with new attachment points 53195 – Part 3 Lower Hull: Comes in a zip lock bag with one sheet of etched brass. This set contains two replacement free flooding and venting areas for the aft lower hull between the propeller shafts. Rather than just scabbing the panels onto the kit, it'll be better to remove the areas, using the etched panels as a guide, thinning down the edges then fitting the panels from the outside. The set also includes quite a selection of hull vents and intakes, which once again will need the areas of the kit to be removed, plus access hatches on the ballast tanks. There are also additional plates to be fitted on the dive planes, rudder and proper A frames. Conclusion Whilst the huge Type VIIc is an amazing kit there are some things that really can't be moulded using standard techniques, even in this scale, and it this is where the etched brass comes in. The finesse it provides to a finished model can really make it shine. These sets can, when used correctly do just that for this stunning model, just be careful with the cutting out of the kit parts.

CMK Type IX U-Boat Weapon Conversion Set. 1:72
Shar2 posted a topic in AftermarketType IX U-Boat Conversion Set 1:72 CMK This is the second of two sets to be released by CMK for use with the Revell Type IXc U-Boat. Rather than just another weapon set, this contains parts to backdate the kit to a time when the Type IX's were armed with a single 105mm cannon and a quad 20mm Flak Vierling. As with the previous set, each mounting is made from grey resin, twenty parts for the 105mm and thirty one parts for the quad 20mm mount, the gun barrels themselves are, once again, made of turned brass, which really does help with the look. There is also a sheet of etch brass that provides items such as the hand wheels and support brackets. N72020 – The build begins with the 105mm cannon with the pedestal fitted to the deck mounting plate, followed by the three piece breech section and the metal barrel. The sight fixture and ballistic controls are then attached to the upper breech section, whilst the locking jack is fitted between the underside of the breech section and the inner pedestal, this can be left off if you are using the gun crew in a diorama display. The port and starboard hand controls are attached and fitted with the PE hand wheels. Lastly the port and starboard gun crew rests and their respective supports are fitted. The quad 20mm Flak Vierling build also begins with the deck plate, spare ammunition cartridge storage racks and central pedestal. The centrally positioned controls are fitted to the rear of the pedestal, along with the seat supports and seats. Each side of the mounting is made up of the rotating part, two gun breeches, two metal barrels and two ammunition cartridges. When both are assembled they are fitted to their respective sides of the pedestal, followed by the spare cartridges in their racks and the foot pedals used for firing. The three piece gun shield is then attached and strengthened with a piece of 0.4mm wire that the modeller has to provide. Conclusion This set should give the Revell Type IXc kit a real boost, as any submarine modeller will need to have at least two to build an early and late marquee. As usual the moulding quality is superb, and what flash there si si really fined and will mostly come off without use of a blade. Once assembled and painted they will really look good on the completed submarine. Very highly recommended. Review samples courtesy of
CMK Type IX U-Boat Weapons Set. 1:72
Shar2 posted a topic in AftermarketType IX U-Boat Weapons Set 1:72 CMK Having released a selection of U-Boat interiors for the Revell Type IX U-Boat, CMK have now released a pair of weapons sets. The first of these is to replace the kit weapons and consists of two twin 20mm cannon and a single 37mm cannon. Each mounting is made from grey resin, eight parts for the 37mm and ten parts for each 20mm mount, but, unlike some other sets, the gun barrels themselves are made of turned brass, which is an excellent move in my view. There is also a sheet of etch brass that provides items such as the hand wheels and support brackets, plus a micro saw to cut the resin parts from their moulding blocks.. N72018 – Each mounting is made up from multiple parts and in this scale, some of them are really rather small. The single 37mm cannon construction begins with the assembly of the mounting, where the base fixing is fitted with the pedestal, which, in turn, is fitted with the seat support structure, training hand wheel on the port side, and the two seat mounts. The starboard side is fitted with a second control beam with another training hand wheel and an elevation hand wheel. The trunnion mount is then fitted to the top of the pedestal, followed by the trunnion cover and two sights. The cannon is made up from a resin breech section, into which the brass barrel is fitted. The breech is then fitted with the ammunition chute and expended cartridges chute. The completed cannon assembly is then fitted to the trunnion mount and finished off with the attachment of the gun shield. With the two 20mm cannon mounts, assembly begins with the twin breech section being fitted with the brass barrels, ammunition cartridges, expended cartridge bag, shoulder harness, trunnion and a PE fitting to the starboard gun. The single piece pedestal is fitted with the training hand wheel and spare cartridge cradle, complete with spare cartridges. The cannon mounting is fitted with the counter weight assembly before the gun assembly is attached and the whole lot fitted to the pedestal. Conclusion It's great to see CMK releasing more items for the Type IX U-Boat, and these weapons are so much more detailed than the kit parts they really are a must have for the serious modeller. Very highly recommended. Review samples courtesy of
Revell U-Boat Crew. 1:72
Shar2 posted a topic in Figure ReviewsU-Boat Crew Revell 1:72 First included in the second release of the 1:72 Type VIIc "Wolfpack" this set of vinyl figures will make a nice addition to any 1:72 vessel, whether it be a U-Boat or S-Boat. The real problem lies in the fact that they are moulded in blue vinyl. This makes the detail on the figures quite soft and not as sharp as a resin or injection moulded figure would be. The other problem is that the vinyl really doesn't take paint well. The modeller will need to give them a really good wash in warm soapy water to remove any mould release agent, and then give them a coat of acrylic primer before adding the top coat and detail paints. Although you get fifty crew figures in the pack, there are only fifteen different poses. This will limit the number you can add to your model to either those on patrol, or those returning from patrol. Admittedly if your are building a diorama, a lot more of the pack can be utilised. One very minor point is that one group of officers are moulded with their collars open, this was generally only a privilege given to senior staff officers, not their subordinates. Overall though a useful set, just a shame they used an awful material to paint easily. or
Revell German Type IXc/40 U-Boat. 1:72German Type IXc/40 U-Boat 1:72 Revell History The Type IX U-boat was designed by Germany in 1935 and 1936 as a large ocean-going submarine for sustained operations far from the home support facilities. Type IX boats were briefly used for patrols off the eastern United States in an attempt to disrupt the stream of troops and supplies bound for Europe. The extended range came at the cost of longer dive times and decreased manoeuvrability, which is why the smaller Type VII was produced in greater numbers and used for the bulk of operations. To improve the dive times some Type IXc/40s had their foredeck cut down, whether this was actually successful is open to debate. Another innovation included on this sub-type, was the installation of a snorkel mast, allowing the boat to run its diesel engines to charge the batteries whilst the boat was at periscope depth. German Type IXc/40 submarines were slightly larger than the original Type IXc. U-190 had a displacement of 1,144 tonnes (1,126 long tons) when at the surface and 1,257 tonnes (1,237 long tons) while submerged. The U-boat had a total length of 76.76 m (251 ft 10 in), a pressure hull length of 58.75 m (192 ft 9 in), a beam of 6.86 m (22 ft 6 in), a height of 9.60 m (31 ft 6 in), and a draught of 4.67 m (15 ft 4 in). The submarine was powered by two MAN M 9 V 40/46 supercharged four-stroke, nine-cylinder diesel engines producing a total of 4,400 metric horsepower (3,240 kW; 4,340 shp) for use while surfaced, two Siemens-Schuckert 2 GU 345/34 double-acting electric motors producing a total of 1,000 shaft horsepower (1,010 PS; 750 kW) for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two 1.92 m (6 ft) propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to 230 metres (750 ft). The submarine had a maximum surface speed of 18.3 knots (33.9 km/h; 21.1 mph) and a maximum submerged speed of 7.3 knots (13.5 km/h; 8.4 mph). When submerged, it could operate for 63 nautical miles (117 km; 72 mi) at 4 knots (7.4 km/h; 4.6 mph); when surfaced, she could travel 13,850 nautical miles (25,650 km; 15,940 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph). U-190 was fitted with six 53.3 cm (21 in) torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and two at the stern), 22 torpedoes, one 10.5 cm (4.13 in) SK C/32 naval gun, 180 rounds, and a 3.7 cm (1.5 in) as well as a 2 cm (0.79 in) anti-aircraft gun. The boat had a complement of forty-eight. The Model As with Revells earlier kit of the Type IXc/40 this kit comes in a large, sturdy top opening box with an artistic impression of U-190 under the surface being depth charged. Inside, under a cardboard shelf there are the four parts that make up the hull and a poly bag containing seven sprues of light grey styrene and 3 deck pieces. There is also a small decal sheet, and a reel of black cotton included. The new style instruction booklet is very nice and overdue change from Revell. Printed in colour on better stock than previous, seemingly recycled stuff, they are nice and clear, with the added benefit that the print doesn't come off onto your hands. The moulding of all parts is pretty clean, although there is evidence of flash around some parts, albeit minimal and only a few moulding pips. Detail looks to be very well done with the associated hull openings shown as quite deep indentations and plenty of rivets for even the most fastidious modeller to count. It is a shame that the flood vents and openings in the hull haven't been moulded open and a representative pressure hull included, but this may be due to the fact that the kit isn't aimed at just the "professional" modeller, but all levels, thus some shortcuts have been taken. That said I'm sure that the aftermarket companies will come up with something that will really enhance the finished model and for the more experienced to go to town on it. That said, the details on all the parts does look really good and with some careful painting and weathering it should be made into a great and certainly impressively large model. The only real difficulty to be seen is the attachment of the stern section to the main hull section as the break isn't on a natural hull line, although the dry fitting does show that it shouldn't require too much filler, just be careful not to remove the rivets and plate lines when sanding. Construction begins with the assembly of the foreward tubes out of the main bulkhead with the tube openings, three sub-decks and two longitudinal bulkheads. The aft tubes are constructed from the tube bulkhead, a two part internal bulkhead and the deckhead. The foreward tubes are then sandwiched between the main hull halves along with two strengthening bulkheads about one third and two thirds of the length and the snorkel mast trough. The aft tubes are then fitted between the two aft hull parts with a bulkhead near the hull joint position. The two hull sections are then joined together and the seam carefully filled and sanded. At this point the snorkel mast sub-assembly is also built up. This consists of two halves for the mast with the filter/float fitted to the top. There is a long stand which can be assembled at this point to help with the rest of the build. With the hull turned upside down the three piece sonar dome is attached to the front of the keel whilst the two piece foreplanes, bow doors, which can be posed either open or closed and the boats anchor are fitted. Moving aft, a pair of two part prop shaft fairings are fitted, one per side adjacent to the rear of the keel, followed by the prop shafts, A frame supports and props. The stern torpedo doors can then be attached, again either open or closed. The two piece stern planes are then attached, with the two rudders and their support frame being the last to be fitted. With the hull upright the three deck sections are fitted and the joins carefully filled and sanded to prevent any loss of detail, although they are fitted at natural joins this time so there shouldn't be too much to do. The two 20mm cannon mounts are then assembled out of the base, two part pedestal and traversing hand wheel. The cannon themselves are then built up with the twin barrels, ammunition cartridges, gun mount, elevating mount, shoulder rests and pintle attached. Next in the sequence is the assembly of the twin 37mm mounting. This consists of the two barrels, two piece pedestal/base, splinter shield and associated mounting beams, two seat mounts, seats and two pairs of hand wheels, making up a nicely detailed unit. The build then moves onto the large tower. The upper tower halves are joined together and a panel fitted to the starboard side. The command deck and 37mm mounting deck are fitted to the two piece lower tower section. The upper tower can then be fitted to the lower and the upper and lower winter garden decks attached. There are a number of panels to be fitted to the inside of the forward upper tower, including the radar stowage and compass shelf. Further details such as the conning tower hatch, with locking wheel and the voice tubes and spray coaming are added forward whilst the rear deck supports are added aft. Staying aft of the tower there are five racks fitted each containing a life raft, along with two access ladders and the individual ladder rungs up the starboard side of the tower. Two sections of handrail are attached around the 20mm gun deck and three sections of guardrail are fitted around the 37mm gun deck, with the flag staff in the centre of the upper tower railing. The tower is completed with the fitting of the two piece periscope housing, into which the two periscopes are slotted and between which there is a two piece lookout rail. The radar, with individual di-poles is fitted to the housing on the port side, a number of smaller items and finally, the three gun mounts assembled earlier in the build. The whole assembly is then affixed into position on the main deck. Construction of the sub is completed with the fitting of the hand rails around the tower on the main deck, the fore and aft deck hatches, access panels, bollards, engine exhausts and rear aerial supports. The aerials are to be made out of the cotton provided, but it may be better to use something that doesn't look quite so furry. Fortunately in this kit Revell have provided the isolation fixings for the aerials foreward where it splits from one to three. Decals The single smallish decal sheet has markings for U-190 from before she was captured with the Kriegsmarine ensign and after, with the Canadian Ensign. There are also identification decals for the stand which fit into their respective indentations. The decals look like they have been printed by Cartograph, if my knowledge of serial letter is anything to go by. They are very nicely printed and quite thin, especially when compared with previous Revell printed sheets. Whilst there is a fair amount of carrier film between the letters it is thin enough that should allow them to sit well once your favourite softening and setting solutions have been used. Conclusion Revell have quite a collection of large scale submarines and this version of the Type IX fits in perfectly. It is a well designed and fairly easy kit to put together, with the only problem being its sheer size. Whilst not perfect, it will make a good base for those that wish to super detail their kits and the likes of Master Barrels, Eduard and even Pontos will soon have update sets for it. Now Revell, how about some British boats in this scale? Very highly recommended. or

1/125 Revell U47 with interior
sub-builder posted a topic in Ready for Inspection - MaritimeThis kit wasn't quite at the same standard as the other Revell kits i've had the pleasure of building. The hull seemed a bit bare and some parts seemed a little out of proportion. However after etching some of the major hull plates on I am happy with the result. The German submarine U-47 was a Type VIIB U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II.[2]She was laid down on 25 February 1937 at Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft in Kiel as yard number 582 and went into service on 17 December 1938 under the command of Günther Prien. During U-47 's career, she sank a total of 31 enemy vessels and damaged eight more.[5] She is also noted for the sinking of the British battleship HMS Royal Oak on 14 October 1939. U-47 ranks as one of the most successful German U-boats of World War II.

sub-builder posted a topic in Ready for Inspection - MaritimeGorgeous kit oozes quality and the detail is excellent. Tempted to fork out for their Gato class or do a Guppy build. Still not very good with photo etch but getting there slowly
My internet has been down for the last 3 weeks so i've had to wait to post pictures of one of the most fun builds i've ever made. This kit is fantastic, the detail is great and the flash minimal. Everything in the kit was quality and I thoroughly enjoyed building it. Painted with humbrol acrylic spray and revell acrylics.
CMK Type IX U-Boat Interior Sections Part 2. 1:72
Shar2 posted a topic in AftermarketType IX U-Boat Interior Sections Part 2 1:72 CMK Having recently reviewed five interior sections for the Revell 1:72 Type IX submarine, we have just received another two. As with the previous sets these two are moulded in grey resin and come complete with some etched parts and a micro saw for cutting the model sides open. Whilst the resin parts are beautifully moulded, there is quite a bit of cleaning up to do, especially from the moulding blocks for the larger parts. There are a lot of parts that make up each section and will make for some really well detailed sections, particularly with some care detail painting. The sections will need to be carefully marked out on the kit hull before cutting out, fortunately CMK have thought about this, and rather than just giving a set of measurements they have provided a template for each section that is cut out and laid over the hull. N720112 – Rear Torpedo Section and Crew Bunks. Although quite large this appears to have one of the smaller part counts of the series, containing just 23 parts. As with the forward torpedo area the set is provided with the rear sections of the torpedo tubes, although in this case there are only two tubes to assemble. Each tube is provided with a selection of ancillary equipment, such as the pipework, valves, air accumulators, along with PE hand wheels, firing levers and locking wheels of the tube doors. Unlike the forward torpedo section this one does not come with a torpedo, although one can be bought separately should you really need one. The port side wall of the torpedo handling area is also where some of the crew are accommodated on four bunks which require the modeller to make up the bunk supports with wire. Etched parts are included for the addition of various hand wheels, light fittings, valves and controls to the hull side and aft bulkhead. On the ceiling there is a single torpedo handling rail and its respective supports for the moving and loading of the torpedoes, but there aren't and chain winches, which will need to be scratch built. The aft bulkhead, if the section is to be used on its own, should have its access hatch closed, but if used with the next section along it is possible to have it posed open. If you're going to be using the torpedo loading kit that is available, then the hatch in the ceiling of the torpedo handling section can also be posed in the open position, giving the opportunity for a rather cool diorama scene. With all the sections and bulkheads assembled it makes for a strong rigid structure which will help with strengthening the cutaway hull. N72017 – Diesel Engine Section. This rather large set is for the main engine room, and whilst the basic construction of the port wall/deckhead, floor and two bulkheads mirrors the other compartments the amount of detail in this section is quite considerable. There are quite a few ancillary equipment parts fitted to the side wall/deckhead. These include control boxes, electrical boxes, pumps, light fittings and control hand wheels, in both resin and PE. The engine room floor is dominated by the single 9 cylinder diesel engine, which is a lovely moulding in itself, but is further enhanced by the fitter of the turbo supercharger unit, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, cooling jacket, and instrument panel, RPM gauge and numerous sections of pipework. Forward of the engine are further accessories, such as air accumulators, pumps, and more pipework. In fact there are two sets of these fittings, one for each engine, oh, and if you're wondering what happened to the second engine, this is available separately as CMK felt that it would obscure too much of the other detail should both be provided in the one set. Conclusion If you've bought the other sections that are available then these two are a must have. The details included are superb as per the previously reviewed items, but I am a little disappointed in that at least one torpedo could have been included in the rear section and the second engine included for the engine room, rather than having to spend even more money to add them. There is still one or two more interior sections that are to be released which will enable the modeller to open up the whole kit which will look really quite impressive. Very highly recommended.

CMK Type IX U-Boat Interior Sections. 1:72
Shar2 posted a topic in AftermarketType IX U-Boat Interior Sections 1:72 CMK Soon after Revell released their 1:72 kit of the Type VIIc U-Boat, CMK produced several interior sections for it so that modellers could build a cutaway model, adding quite a bit of interest to the finished article. Well, now they've done the same for the 1:72 Type IX U-Boat kit. The five sections we have been sent, (there are others), are all moulded in grey resin and come complete with some etched parts and a micro saw for cutting the model sides open. Whilst the resin parts are beautifully moulded, there is quite a bit of cleaning up to do, especially from the moulding blocks for the larger parts. There are a lot of parts that go up to make up each section, yet the modeller is still required to provide some wire or plastic rod to finish them off. All sections will need to be carefully marked out on the kit hull before cutting out, fortunately CMK have thought about this, and rather than just giving a set of measurements they have provided a template for each section that is cut out and laid over the hull. N72011 – Front Torpedo Section. Containing over 32 parts this is the biggest of all the sets and comprises basically three areas/zones. The torpedo loading area, showing the foreward bulkhead, the rear of four torpedo tubes, complete with all the ancillary pipework, air bottles and fittings. The floor of the torpedo handling area with a torpedo made up of two resin parts and completed with etched fins and propellers lying in a recess. The port side wall of the torpedo handling area is also where some of the crew are accommodated on six bunks which requires the modeller to make up the bunk supports with wire. Etched parts are included for the addition of various hand wheels, light fittings, valves and controls to the hull side and aft bulkhead. On the ceiling there are two rails and their respective supports for the moving and loading of the torpedoes, but there aren't and chain winches, which will need to be scratch built. The aft bulkhead, if the section is to be used on its own, should have its access hatch closed, but if used with the next section along it is possible to have it posed open. If you're going to be using the torpedo loading kit that is available, then the hatch in the ceiling of the torpedo handling section can also be posed in the open position, giving the opportunity for a rather cool diorama scene. With all the sections and bulkheads assembled it makes for a strong rigid structure which will help with strengthening the cutaway hull. N72014 – Command Section. The heart of any submarine is the command and control section and this is represented here by a single section between the two provided bulkheads. The centre floor section is quite sparse with only the periscope housing and access ladder to the control tower fitted. On the hull side however, it's a different matter, with a plethora of hand wheels, pipework, control boxes, lights, valves and claxon horns fitted. The floor adjacent to the rear bulkhead and side wall is slightly recessed. This is filled with more pipework and what looks like an air accumulator which is attached to a valve by a piece of wire provided by the modeller. The two bulkheads are fitted out with further hand wheels, valves and their access hatches, which as per the section above can be left open if two sections are joined together. N72015 – Foreward Crew Quarters. This is a very simple module, with on the floor, side wall, two bulkheads, and a couple of stacked lockers. One bulkhead is fitted with a hatch, whilst the other is fitted with a door, whilst the other details include more hand wheels, claxon horns, lights and a couple of pipes. N72016 – Captain's & Officers' Ward Room. Although stating that this is the wardroom it is also fitted with the enigma code room and radio room, both of which are normally enclosed with a curtain, which will need to be scratch built by the modeller. Within the floor, ceiling/sidewall and main bulkhead structure, you have bunks, stacked lockers, internal bulkhead, radio stack, enigma machine, stools, light fittings and claxon horns fitted. N72022 – Galley. This is naturally the smallest of all the compartments reviewed here, but it is full of equipment, showing how cramped the galley was and a wonder how they cooked anything for the crew of up to 56 men. Between the two bulkheads the floor is fitted with hotplates, ovens, sinks, and a host of associated pipework, hand wheels and fittings. On the ceiling/sidewall there are more hand wheels, air filter, tannoy speaker, and an unidentifiable fan housing like fixture. Conclusion The Revell 1:72 Type IX U-Boat was a very welcome release and there have been some fantastic builds seen on the internet and at shows, but these sets will allow the modeller to take it to the next level. If you have the courage to cut your kit open then these sets will make for an amazing looking model. You could go even further and enhance the sets with appropriate lighting and others in the series such as the torpedo loading and external sets. You will have some careful painting to carry out, but anyone who has the ability to use these sets shouldn't have a problem with that. Very highly recommended. Review samples courtesy of

BALIISM bamboo straws use only high quality bamboo harvested in the planned logging area of Bali, Indonesia. In Indonesia, bamboo has long been used as a building material. It is thick and strong, making it an ideal material for straws that can be washed and used over and over.
Bamboo is a material that grows faster than wood and has little environmental impact even when harvested. Even if the environmental impact is small, BALIISM is not only for product development, but for bamboo Management is also performed. After felling, it will be available again in normal 2-3 years.
Work begins with the selection of bamboo thickness that matches the size of the product.
However, the size of each one is slightly different due to the fact that it is made from 100% natural materials. Production with a fully automatic processing machine is fast, but there is a problem that quality variations tend to occur.
In order to produce high quality straws, everything from cutting the bamboo, which is the raw material, to filing the surface and cross section, is done carefully one by one by hand.
The inside is brushed with a special brush, and after cleaning and drying, the final inspection is completed.
Although it takes time and effort, this manufacturing method is adopted based on the desire to make use of the warmth peculiar to nature and high quality products.
When you have finished using it, bury it in the soil instead of throwing it away as burning garbage.
This product has made it possible to make things based on a recycle cycle. When Bamboo Straw is buried in the soil, it will eventually return to the soil and become fertilizer for growing plants.

2019, June 2 | A different Sunday
Given the calamitous event that hit the north-eastern slope of the Alps and the Dolomite areas last October, the company has chosen to support one of the affected areas: Arte Sella.
This small wonder of nature, a place where the mountain has been meeting contemporary art for over thirty years, has suffered considerable damage. Arte Sella is located in the heart of Trentino, an area where it's estimated that around 1.5 million cubic meters of plants have fallen to the ground and that there are 400 kilometers of forest roads that will need work.
As a gesture of good will and closeness to the area, the company will contribute financially to the restructuring of the park. The Alps and the Dolomites are one of the many UNESCO World Heritage sites in Italy that must be preserved in every way: doing business today must also be linked to preserving our natural surroundings through solid and meaningful gestures.
