President’s Message
Greetings,
It is getting closer. Modelzona is only a
month away. Get your kits built, dioramas
finished and weathering done. Time is
almost here to put those beauties on the
contest table and have some fun.
I want to give a big shout out to all of
those who coordinated, planned,
participated in, attended or otherwise
were part of the 3rd annual Scale
Modeling Clinic last month. This is a huge
undertaking by all those involved. Thanks
again to Bill Dunkle and Keith Pieper for
planning it. A lot of hard work went into
putting together a great event.
Jim Pearsall’s 1/144 Dragon SR-71
Personally, September was a big month. I
actually got to work on a model and finish
it. The 1/144 A-6 Intruder I started in
March but had to table from April-Sept.
due to moving, finally was completed. All
and all a good little Dragon kit but it sure
felt nice to finish something. That makes
two for the year. Half way to my goal.
The club Christmas party is just around
the corner. Make sure to see Mike
Mackowski or Ethan Dunsford if you
would like to help.
You keep building, Phoenix!

Moebius The Mummy Kit # 637
By April Hinderliter
The Mummy
I have always enjoyed seeing the look on my
husband’s face when he receives another review kit in the mail. This time the scene
played out a little differently. A strange gleam
came into his eyes and with a grin he called
me over to look. In his hands he held the
Moebius Mummy model with a striking resemblance to Boris Karloff. My husband suddenly felt the model slip from his grasp as I
began channeling the spirit of Daffy Duck,
jumping up and down yelling “Mine! Mine!
Mine!”. You have to understand, I’ve been a
model collector for years. I have always
been a “Universal Monster Kid” and enjoy all
things Universal Monsters. I knew this was
my chance to finally make the break and go
from model collector to model builder.
Boris Karloff was perfect for the part of the
Mummy. Even though he was seen in the “Mummy rags” for a few minutes in the beginning of the film, that face has stayed with kids of all ages throughout the years.
The image of the mummy opening his eyes and stepping from the sarcophagus to
grab the scroll of life has kept many lights on past bedtime. This story became the
gold standard for all mummy movies to come. A young prince or priest is cursed to
living death as a mummy for attempting to resurrect his forbidden love. He is awakened by reading a scroll and finds his long lost love reincarnated. The heroin must
face a fate worse than death, becoming a living mummy. Talk about gothic horror!
Somehow the women in the audience always have a sigh of regret when the mummy
is finally vanquished.
The Model
The first thing that came to my attention was the wonderful box art by famous monster
artist Basil Gogos, well known for his monster magazine cover art. This box art will
not go wasted, having a spot of honor in my Universal Monster collection. The kit
comes with a nice summary discussing the history of the movie with a tribute to Boris
THE CORSAIR

Karloff and Jack Pierce, the mastermind behind the Universal Monster makeup. It
gives us a little insight into the torture Boris had to endure for hours in the makeup
chair. I must say that this models likeness of Boris Karloff as the Mummy is uncanny.
The sculpture on the sarcophagus also has his sad, soulful eyes. The model itself depicts the mummy standing in his sarcophagus just before being brought to life. The
sarcophagus top is sitting next to the Mummy, propped up against a crumbling wall
covered in hieroglyphics, broken pillars and a scary Egyptian cobra ready to strike.
Painting and Assembly
The model kit came with detailed assembly
and painting instructions, making it very easy
for a new modeler. I must say I felt a little
intimidated when I saw the model came in 45
pieces, but with reassurance and guidance
from my husband, I began to build.
The instruction sheet had well illustrated pictures of the model, with instructions on what
to assemble first, so I began fitting and gluing the mummy. The arms went together
very nicely, then the body and head. I wanted my mummy to have as few seams noticeable as possible. I had a lot of fun scraping
the seams on the bandages on the arms and
side of the mummy. The head had some
seams also, but I tried to scratch back in
some of the detail of the hair. Not bad at all.
There were a few gaps at the neck and
shoulders which filled in nicely with Squadron white putty. I decided to go ahead and
add all of the separate bandages prior to painting. Others might want to paint first and
then add the painted bandages. It’s a judgment call. I thought I needed a break, so
decided to build the base.
The wall had already been put together in my kit. I scraped the seams on the sides of
the wall as well as I could and puttied the seam on the top of the wall, trying to get it to
looked like crumbled wall. You can still see my seam a little, but I’m still learning. The
sarcophagus was a little challenging, needing a second set of hands to glue it together. It’s a good thing my “modeling coach” was there. The bottom of the sarcophagus
was constructed with 10 pieces, being inlayed within one another. This may not be
challenging for a well seasoned model builder. The sarcophagus did need some putty
THE CORSAIR

to make it look like one carved stone piece. I am learning that putty is my friend. The
snake was built last. This too required a little putty, but most of the seams are hidden
underneath the snake, so I didn’t have to worry about that.
Next came the painting, my favorite part. I tried to stay as close to the painting instructions as possible, but I used some paints that we had on hand. I started with
what I thought might be the easiest in order to boost my confidence, the basecoats. I
used Vallejo beige brown #70875 as the base coat for the wall and the inside of the
sarcophagus. I then dry brushed the insides of the sarcophagus with Vallejo ochre
brown #70856. I then dry brushed the inside of the sarcophagus and the wall with Vallejo Iraqi sand #70819. This gave the wall and sarcophagus a well worn look. I base
coated the sand Tamiya buff, and dry brushed with Iraqi sand. The broken pillars lying
in the sand I painted the same as the
wall for uniformity.
I then decided to tackle the formidable
sarcophagus lid. I used a lot of the
same paints as the instructions, having
to go and buy 29 dollars worth of paint.
My “modeling coach” was ecstatic,
knowing they would end up in his
stash eventually. I did have to substitute some colors. I used Model Master
aluminum in place of the champaign
gold metallic spray paint and Model
Master brass in place of the metallic gold. I also replaced the Inca Gold with Tamiya
Gold Leaf. I enjoyed working with the pearl colors, but they can be challenging needing a couple of coats, being careful not to go over it too much with your first coat or
you will begin to lift the paint. I used the Grape Pearl on the front of the sarcophagus,
Pearl Orange on the bottom part, Dusty Rose Pearl
for the flowers, Clear Green for leaves, and Clear
Red, Clear Blue and Gloss Black for the sarcophagus details just like the instructions.
Next came the painting of the Mummy himself. Step
one, put in the Universal Mummy movie for inspiration. I base coated him with Vallejo ochre brown
and added some white to dry brush, and then dry
brushed with Vallejo Iraqi Sand. I then did a wash
with The Detailer Brown Detailing Liquid to bring out
the details. I thinned the detailer with water, and
wiped it down with a lint free towel. I then did anoth-

er coat of dry brush with Iraqi sand. The face and hands I did the same way, leaving
out most of the dry brush with Iraqi sand. I wanted them to have a more dried out
leather look. The ring on his hand I painted black with Clear Green to make it look like
a scarab beetle. The snake is painted with Model Master Burnt Umber and Model
Master Wood. The sarcophagus was dry brushed with Beige Brown in order to give it
a little tarnished worn look. It has been in the desert for hundreds of years after all.
The sarcophagus was then sprayed with Future floor wax to keep the metallic sheen,
and the rest was sprayed with dull coat. This really brought out the details in the dry
brushing techniques and took the sheen off. Once it was all dry I put it all on the base
with Testers Model Glue.
Overall Assessment
I highly recommend this model for
both new and more experienced
modelers alike. I enjoyed the
challenge as a novice. I am looking forward to seeing this model
built by someone with more experience who can really take it to a
higher level. It would be a challenge to detail it in a totally different way. For instance a black
and white “silver screen” style, or
painted as the interpretation by Basil Gogos. What I would really like to see is someone who takes the time to do it just like the movie, with the face of the sarcophagus
chiseled off and the curse written in hieroglyphics Now that would be a sight to see.
I would like to thank Moebius and IPMS USA for the chance to build this wonderful
model and finally be able to state that
I am a model builder! I would also
like to thank My husband Mike and
IPMS Phoenix for being so supportive
in my becoming a new modeler. You
may have just created a monster!

Secretary’s Sound Off
By Hal Sanguinetti
The September meeting of IPMS Phoenix saw just about everyone back from vacation and/or the Nationals, and there was quite a number of topics for discussion. Unfortunately, I was again reminded during the meeting of how fragile our society’s dependence is when it comes to computers. I missed the notification that an operating
system update had been received by my laptop the last time I was using my wireless
network at the house, and again missed the notification that it had loaded this new
update and then - guess what? It rebooted during the meeting, and of course, I lost
most of the notes on the meeting. Being as your Secretary is getting old and decrepit,
his memory did not allow him to recall everything from the few minutes before (damn
you, dead brain cells!) and thus, this report will not be absolutely complete. Please
accept my apologies.
Bill Dunkle reviewed the finances, including the payment of some recent bills.
Hal read the minutes.
Craig talked about the models available for the evening’s raffle.
Ethan brought us up to date on the latest Facebook page activity.
New business.
Vince covered the latest work on the website, announcing that it’s just about ready for
final beta testing by the members. When that happens, we’ll be informed as to where
to go on the web and how to offer suggestions.
Wendell discussed Modelzona, and asked for approval of a $5000 budget, which was
discussed, voted & approved.
At approximately this time, my computer rebooted.
Vince offered his thoughts on getting Boeing involved with us (a) possibly having us
or our members build Apaches for their lobby, (b) doing a make and take with Apaches at one of their event. The make & take issue was tabled due to lack of information
on availability of an appropriate kits.
There were no entries in the contest this evening.
We broke for the raffle, and Bill Dunkle did a very good discussion on how to paint diorama bases.

PLASTIC PONDERINGS
BY MIKE PABIS
Size Matters Not
Aren’t scale models great?
Not just building them but admiring other great works. I am sure that you have been
somewhere and seen an amazing diorama or museum piece that is bigger than your
dining room table. Those true works of art make jaws drop. The thousands of hours
that go into them along with all the detail truly make for eye catching moments.
We have all been there before. You go to a neat museum and view an amazing
recreation right in front of you. Maybe it is the 1/72 carrier at the National Air and
Space Museum. Perhaps it is the now destroyed (what a waste) Civil War diorama
created for a Texas museum by Chandler students. These are true eye catchers that
cause you to spend a lot of time eyeballing all the great details that go into them.
In my travels, I have gotten to see quite a few of these over the years. For me, I am
the type that when I see a model on display across the room while at a museum, I stop
and head right toward it. There is a lot to see when you are looking at a great
recreation right next to the historical item standing right next to it. Just about every
museum seems to have something like this on display.
Now the world is bringing these items right to us. It used to be that unless you got on a
plane, drove somewhere or physically walked into a museum or contest you would not
be able to see many of these great works of scale modeling. Those fortunate enough
to attend Nationals always get to see some of the best. Now, we can see them almost
instantly.
Thanks to the internet, Facebook and all other forms of social media, we can cross the
globe to other continents and view amazing scale models. Almost hourly, you can find
new uploaded images from builders in all corners of the world. A quick search will bring
these images to you on your phone or computer. Great models at your fingertips!
More often than not, the big, great, amazing dioramas and other models are usually of
size. We tend to focus on something that is bigger because it is easier for us to see.
Those great dioramas are easy to see from across the room. But does this always
make for an amazing model? Maybe not.
THE CORSAIR

Plastic Ponderings Cont.
Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Someone may like ships more than
airplanes so they tend to spend more time looking at those models. Perhaps cars are
up their alley more than armor. Each of us have our own preferences. But maybe the
amazing model is what goes into it that makes it great.
Recently, I was reading some reviews and viewing some shots of completed models I
was thinking of building. Something caught my eye on one of them. No, it wasn’t the
fully functioning P-51 cockpit in 1/32. Nor was it the working winch on the tank
recovery vehicle that raised and lowered. And it wasn’t the lights and sound of a Uboat diorama in shadow box. Rather it was a missile. Yup, a plain ole AIM-9
Sidewinder.
While the aircraft it was attached to was very well built, what stood out to me were the
two Sidewinders attached to the aircraft. I remember it was a 1/144 fighter that was
well detailed but not beyond my skill. However the builder had fully recreated these
Sidewinders complete with small decals. I was blown away by the time and effort put
forth on these two little details that normally would get lost in the shuffle. After all it was
a fairly benign detail most would gloss over when looking at the rest of the aircraft.
This got me thinking (yes, that is a dangerous thing). It isn’t always the biggest, most
tricked out kit that makes a great model. Rather it is the detail that you add to it which
can make it great model, regardless of size. Rather than spending hours upon hours of
painstaking rivet detail or zimmermit sculpting, the builder just did what he was
supposed to do. He built a simple scale model and made it look great.
For those of us that are not super detailers, this was an enlightenment of sorts. Just do
what you are supposed to and you will be happy, rewarded with a well built model and
might even surprise yourself. Focusing on your skills will reward you better than trying
to build the most amazing diorama ever. Sure it takes time, effort and energy to do so
but you might surprise yourself.
For those of us who may not always want or be able to build big, the smaller scaled
models can still present you with plenty of opportunities to build a well built kit. Even
small scales shouldn’t prevent you from adding plenty of details. If someone can build
a 1/144 AIM-9 Sidewinder so well it could have been entered into a contest by itself,
then why can’t you do the same thing?
A few years ago, I was able to take part in judging at Modelzona. In one category, a
whole host of armored vehicles was bested by a simple, well built, 3 piece model.
What? How can beautifully detailed, 000s of piece models be beat by a 3 piece M-2
machine gun? Simple. Basic execution of scale model techniques will triumph over all

the PE, resin and extras you can stuff into a kit. It may not be as eye catching as other
kits and dioramas but can be the David to Goliath.
As Master Yoda said, “Size matters not.” Build it right. Build it well. Build it and you will
be happy.
