Maybe we're all busy getting drunk as we watch our so called football team crash out of the World Cup.....

I have to say that it seems extremely unlikely.... and I think someone would have noticed. The intake BLANKS..... now there's another story!

Good luck on this one..... there are (were) 2 kits that I know of. One is vacform and the other was resin. You may still be able to get the Broplan vacform but the resin was by a company called Cunar...... I've no idea who/what/where they are now.

I'm happy to be the first to post my congratulations and thanks to Newbury Scale Model Club (IPMS Newbury) for an excellent day out today. NEWMOD 2010 was their first show but you'd never have known that. I hope that NEWMOD 2011 is bigger and better but this was a great start. A good mix of traders and interesting club displays.
Thanks guys!

Welcome to the forum - and the world of scale modelling. I'm not a car modeller but I'll talk to anyone! Seriously, stick around and think about getting along to a branch meeting near you...

I'd better swat up on lighting technique. I'll be waiting....

Considering that I'm a photographer, you'd have thought I'd have spotted this thread a bit earlier....! Just wanted to reiterate what John has said about keeping things simple. Why make things difficult for yourself? When I 'were a lad', I almost always used natural light and was wary of artificial illumination of any kind. In later years, when running a studio (and with a bit more knowledge), I came to appreciate the controllability of studio lighting - by using it you have complete control but you also have to understand it, know how to make best use of it and spend time setting it up..... For the type of photography we're talking about, John's set up is great and there is another factor that makes a difference. Colour balance isn't as big a problem with a decent digital camera as it once was with film (as you can often set the white balance to some degree) but, on the whole, camera sensors are set up to record in daylight (or flash which approximates daylight). Looking at the images above, you can see that John's pic looks more naturally lit.... the others have colour casts from the artificial lights used. In particular, look at the white areas. Yes, these casts can be corrected but by using natural daylight you can usually avoid them in the first place. Again, why make life difficult? With reference to this comment, Voyager... "Of course, as magazine editor, I would have thought well lit, in focus photographs with a plain background would have been a Godsend!" ... too true! For those of you that don't know, I'm the person that actually puts the magazine together and colour casts are a big problem. I spend far too much time working to correct images that are well lit, in focus ...and orange! Incidentally, Voyager, does that comment also indicate that you might be submitting material for publication? I'm looking forward to seeing John's photography article making an appearance.... mind you, I've been looking forward to it for quite a while now! ;D Chris

WOW... but did she say how much it's likely to cost?

Well, that's a scheme I wasn't aware of..... a bit of a shocker but - WOW!

No plastic under the tree for me but I've visited 2 Modelzones since and have 7 aeroplane kits to show for it - all Revell, naturally but at less than half RRP it's hard to resist. Note; not all stores have the same offers, it seems.
