Matt acrylic colors, water-based and especially formulated for airbrushing. The Model Air color range contains the most complete selection of the military colors used in recent history, including the colors of WWI, WWII and up to the present. Each color is based on extensive research by our experts of the existing and previous military references so as to offer the modeler the highest possible historical accuracy.Model Air is used directly or diluted with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver. It is recommended to first prime the surface, and then apply Model Air in several layers. The colors dry very rapidly and form a homogenous paint film of extraordinary resistance while preserving even the smallest detail of the model.For airbrushing these colors, the compressor air pressure is recommended at 15 – 20 PSI or 0.5 to 1 kg. Model Air can of course also be applied with a brush. For correct airbrush maintenance we recommend using the Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner.Model Air is not flammable, and does not contain solvents.

Photo from AANS Uniform & Service Requirements I've been asked to create a pattern for the Australian WWI nurse's uniform, both the ward dress and the dress uniform. Some serious research was required and first stop was the interwebs and I found a number of examples, such as the one above, and have pinned them to my WWI board. I then contacted the Australian War Memorial in Canberra and asked them what was available in their collection and if I could organise a visit as I was already there for the Jane Austen Festival Australia last weekend. Sadly there aren't many uniforms left and the AWM only had a Norfolk jacket and dickie of the dress uniform. Still n' all, they were marvellous and let me view it and take as many photos as I needed. It was wonderful to see a uniform worn by a serving women who worked to heal soldiers injured in the battles. She would have worn her dress uniform with pride, and deservedly so! The Australian Army Nurse Service (AANS) WWI outdoor uniforms changed during the war to adapt to changing fashions and I am very thankful to the AANS Uniform & Service Requirements for the following information. 1914 Outdoor Dress An ankle length grey serge dress with a long sleeved, loose fitting blouson bodice, a six gore skirt ( its more likely to be a 5 gore skirt) and a self fabric belt. ( noted that there are 3 horizontal tucks at mid calf level on the skirt). The bodice had a yoke at the back but not at the front. This was fastened with 5 buttons (in front) from the neck to the waist and the belt had two buttons. The stand collar and cuffs were edged with narrow, linen liners. On the right sleeve, just above the elbow there was a raised embroidered AANS Badge. AANS Uniform & Service Requirements As noted in the above quote, the first outdoor uniform jacket was based on a Gibson style shirtwaist. Then, it changed in 1916 to the very popular Norfolk jacket style, with a front dickie that shows as the undershirt. The jacket was also worn with the 5-6 gore skirt of the period, which started at ankle length and rose to mid-calf by the end of WWI. It is this later jacket that the AWM holds and is the one I saw. The 1916 Outdoor Dress In 1916 the AANS Outdoor Dress was changed and army officer’s rank was given to all nurses. The outdoor uniform itself changed to a grey serge suit consisting of a Norfolk jacket and a 5 gore skirt. Oxidized rank insignia and “AUSTRALIA” titles were worn on the shoulder straps of the jacket. Army unit color patches were worn on the upper sleeves. In working dress rank insignia was worn on shoulder straps of the red cape. Nurses who served in the forward hospitals on Lemnos during the Gallipoli campaign were awarded the Anzac “A” like other AIF veterans of the Dardanelles On the 1916 Outdoor Jacket the shoulder straps were most commonly detachable and chocolate colored. On some photos the shoulder straps are clearly grey. AANS Uniform & Service Requirements Images from my visit to the AWM The garment was made in a beautiful grey flannel (wool) and lined in cotton. The jacket is machine stitched, with hand stitching for the silk collar of the dickie. The curator was marvellous, extremely helpful and encouraging. It was a great visit and I have learned a great deal that will inform my pattern making for the client. its a shame they didn't have a working uniform, but here are its details: Working Dress for the entire war The Working Dress remained the same for the entire war, except for a slight shortening of the skirt to keep in line with the current fashion. This was a grey zephyr cotton dress similar in pattern to the 1914 Outdoor Dress, with a detachable starched white collar (photos show both stand and stand-and-fall collars,) and cuffs. White cotton armband with a red felt Geneva cross sewn in the centre. The armband is curved - wider at the centre and tapering to either end, forming straps. The band is fastened by a two-clawed metal buckle sewn into one end of the armband. 'A. [broad arrow symbol] S' is stamped on the back of the armband. There was a starched white apron with a bib front and cross over straps at the back (this could also be unstarched grey zephyr for extremely dirty work). The apron sometimes had a cotton embroidered Red Cross center top. AANS Uniform & Service Requirements

Looking for a great project that keeps students involved? In this project, students will work in groups of 3 as they individually research one of the parts that ended the war. This jigsaw is engaging and uses chromebooks, headphones, a cell phone, and QR codes. The topics students will be investigating are the costs of the war, the Treaty of Versailles, and Woodrow Wilson's 14 points. MINI LECTURE: I have added a mini lecture to introduce the topics the students will be digging into for the day. This is quick and only about 5-10 minutes. JIGSAW: Students will be in groups of 3 as they listen, watch and engage with the aftermath of World War I. Each person will be responsible for either the costs of the war, Treaty of Versailles, or Woodrow Wilson's 14 points. After they have completed their 20 minutes assignment, an interactive lecture sharing what they have learned would be the best way to end the JIGSAW. A quiz/ exit ticket is also available to make sure the students were on task and achieved the goals for the day. (4 pages) or INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT: This individual assignment is engaging and allows students to learn by reading, analyzing a political cartoon and watching a video on the costs of the War, Treaty of Versailles, and Woodrow Wilson's 14 points. (4 pages) PPT/KEYNOTE: The keynote in this bundle is to be presented either after the jigsaw or after the individual work is done. It is meant to review the material to make sure the students understand and get what they were suppose to learn for the day. (4 slides) QUIZ: 8 questions quiz that includes the answer key. (1 page) EXIT TICKET: 3 questions regarding WWI in the aftermath. I gave the quiz after the lesson was finished and then again after I finished the teaching or PPT. (1 page) CRASH COURSE WORLD HISTORY EP. 36: ( 6 pages) Here is what is included in this 6 page download: 1. Note Taking Guide for Students: This is essentially a blank section to take notes in. 2. Summary of the Video: A place for the students to write a short summary of what they have watched. 3. Teacher Notes from the: My 1 page of notes. 4. Vocabulary Section: I have chosen 3 words that would be good to have the students look up. I also have them write each of the words in a sentence. 5. Quiz for students / with answers: There is a 10 question quiz with answers from the episode. It can be taken in class or taken home. I think in class would be better. 6. Blank Template for student created quiz: I decided to add this to every Crash Course guide as it works really well with students.
