  1. Its all a little confusing to me and I ask would anyone buy a 1/37 scale Sherman if one were released? I cant believe that the choice of 1/35 is driven purely by Diorama integration with armour but then what would I know. On the other hand, I get the discussion around new improved kits, even on subjects that have already been covered, and therefore view it as an expansion to the hobby in improving choice, HOWEVER, while I may fancy having a crack at the 111 as it does look good, 1/35 doesn't really blow my skirt up as there are no subjects released yet that i'm really interested in. I do hope these releases are successful as more choice shows the hobby is far from dying, and in time, there may be something for me but in general i'll l be holding on to my hard earned at least until i see some of the 111's reviewed and, who knows, built.
  2. absolutely agree BUT we are not the ones making business decisions. I would like to think that there is some business acumen as to why border chose 1/35 and why release subjects already covered in 1/32 (accuracy aside). Of course there is no law that dictates aircraft should be produced in 32nd, rather, it is an accepted scale for aircraft as opposed to the "tamiya" introduced scale of 1/35 for armour. Question, would armour modellers be buying a 1/37 scale Sherman if anyone released one?
  3. The irony of all this, when a 1 32 aircraft was put into a dio with 1/35 figures and vehicles nobody really cared, but now its a thing and apparently always has been amongst armour modeller's who are now saying its about time etc.. ANYHOO, I cant help but feel that this is a (understandable) cash grab on MOTA which, from a business perspective makes obvious sense I hope the kit is top drawer but i have too much invested in the HK fort to sell and buy. shame really, The Heinkel 111 on the other hand .........
  4. Iv'e got a Polestar 2 through work and I love it. Took it to France from the Midlands and had 0 issues as far as charger availability charge times etc . A charge to 90% which is recommended gives me a range of around 240 miles 220 actual. It costs me £2.10 a day to charge when I need to. (around 3 times a week)
  5. Beautiful work as ever Tom, and also Nice work Peter, on those wheels... Look superb. A super constellation will be an amazing project....!
  6. Thanks for the Viggen praise Geedub,, great to chat and it certainly looks like you covered all of the things I didn't manage to, thanks for posting these especially the comp entries as I didn't really manage to get round the show as I wanted to.
  7. and it was great to see you all again and spend a little time chatting about stuff!
  8. Well that went by quickly. The weekend felt like the millenium falcon on hyperdrive. The show was that busy this year I didn't really get the opportunity to see as much as i would have liked.... I was fliting between the 32 Sig stand and the West Mids Police modellers club stand and both wer busy with interested parties. We had 24 Ft of table under our control this year and we filled the lot. When I get 5 I will post a few of my minimal photos up. There were some superb builds going on, and overall, it seems the standard of modelling has gained momentum since the dreaded pandemic.
  9. And it will great to meet you when you do.
  10. If you renewed on line there should be an electronic version of the membership card with the confirmation email...... print outs of these are being accepted.
  11. I think an email confirming receipt of your subscription payments will be ok. I can try and check if you want?
