MK ModelKraft– a great day out…
We have just returned from the excellent Milton Keynes ModelKraft scale model show and what a day that was. Great to talk to so many of you, both existing and new subscribers – brilliant…just what the doctor ordered! Thanks too for the really useful feedback – so much of it positive and some very helpful suggestions as to how we can improve SMN still further.
Techniques Bank

Already some good news Brian – you’ll remember our conversation about adding more to the SMN Techniques Bank? Well this week saw the latest addition (how to make a stunning base for your AFV models) and I promise to prioritise the remaining areas within each of the TB sections so that this sees a big expansion over the next 2 months.To that end… do any of you out there have any of your own step-by-step tips and how-to techniques you would like to share with everyone? I’d like to add them to your TB? Just e-mail them direct to me here at SMN at: geoff@scalemodellingnow.com
You can see from the greyed out links in TB the specific areas that are coming and we’ll pick a few off each month to complete what’s already planned AND add plenty more HD video dems and new tips and techniques, so lots to look forward to here!
Revell 1:32 Red Arrows BAe Hawk T.Mk.IA build

Half done already and in SMN – a real first and we’ll have it finished very soon so you can see exactly what Revell’s latest 1:32nd scale. Check out Dave’s build in Build Now…
What’s on the way?
Some stunning projects, that’s what…
I don’t want to give away all our secrets to those naughty paper mags but keep an eye on Here Now – more than a few hints there! PLUS several projects that are going straight into BN – especially some stunning Feature Articles that have lots of accessories and add-ons for those of you who like something a bit more advanced. Some great inspiration on the way!
Welcome Rob!
A big welcome to Rob Davies who’s joining our SMN team for at least the next few weeks. Rob will be helping Sara, Francis and I and the SMN team bring you more updates and also help us with some important changes to make your experience when you visit SMN even better. Lots of ideas already I see Rob, so thanks for those – keep ‘em coming, we’ll be implementing many of them.
Ok, probably about it for now but I’ll be back very soon. Have a great weekend and see you next time…
Best wishes
Geoff
