In fact, although Sanjeev accuses me of being too critical of my own work, I am quite pleased that I can finally construct kits in a manner that seemed impossible when I was a young lad. Sure, my first kit has many faults, but for the most part it's a decent first effort. Learned a lot, and continuing to try and expand my knowledge on my next kit. I don't take any of this too seriously, but can appreciate a great piece of work when I see it. Antonio's work just raised the bar, about ten notches! Similar pangs hit when I look in the wwi gallery at some of the fantastic work you all exhibit! I'm doing this for fun, and keep it all in the right perspective. Just wish my effort looked nearly as good!

Basically I got into WWI after seeing the WWI planes done on Hyperscale. While there obviously is not much WWI on Hyperscale, it was nice back then to see something different instead of ME109 number 300 and four. (No offense to ME109 fans, I like the plane but got bored after seeing the same type of planes again and again). While I realize the WWI mailing site is the preferred place to show off work, a few WWI planes one Hyperscale will probably convert a few more modellers to WWI.

Good point but judging from the models that showed up at the US nats last year, WW1 is pretty healthy, or so it would appear. Of course, there was a single category for Bf-109's in 1/48th scale and I think it'll be a while before 1/72nd scale Fokker D.VII's have their own category, unless, of course we all get busy and attend the US nats.

I don't have much to show, Bill but I'll give you a couple reasons. The first is that the Hyperscale site is slower than molasses in January most of the time. I've got a DSL link and I still fall asleep waiting for pages to be loaded there. By contrast, WWI pops up photos as fast as I ask for them. Which brings me to my second reason. I've looked at each and every photo on the WWI site because they're well-organized for viewing by people who like WWI stuff. Many of those photos I've viewed more than once and each time I think about doing a model, or am thinking about a particular kit, I do a search on WWI so I can quickly see some examples. Thus, when I'm thinking about posting my own stuff, I want it where people will see it and the WWI stuff is lost in a sea of Me109s on Hyperscale. > While I realize the WWI mailing site is the > preferred place to show off work, a few WWI planes one > Hyperscale will probably convert a few more modellers > to WWI. I'm not so sure. The internet makes it very easy to find models of pretty much any era if you want to find them. If you don't want to find them it's unlikely that you'll want to build them. Still, your point is well-taken.

How is it that you get these kits out so fast and still get in lots of detail?

TIA! Matt, that doesn't sound like a very French name for a magazine. Is it possible that this is a nickname for the magazine? What's it about? There's a magazine produced by paragliders in Canada that's sometimes referred to as "Air Magazine" but it has a different formal name. Could this be what you're looking for?
