Stress at SMN takes off!
Thanks Dean…
The ingenuity of scale modellers never ceases to amaze me… many of you will know Dean Large, either from his great builds on Internet forums and of course in your very own SMN – check out his stunning 1:48th Special Hobby Fiat BR.20 Cicogna – how’s that for a paint job?

But you may also know Dean from last year when he produced that really innovative model based on an Airfix Instruction sheet ‘exploded’ view? Remember it? That now lives in the Airfix Visitor Centre at Hornby in Margate. SMN met up with Dean at one of our recent visits to a model show and many of you may have been faced with Sara or Emily giving away free stress balls – the blue ones with www.scalemodellingnow.com printed on them?
Not to be daunted by a challenge, Dean took his away and look what just flew in – fantastic!
We still have some stress balls left and will be bringing them to our next show – see below:
