More celebrations…interviews and influences! 1st June 2012
Wherever you are in the world when you read these words there’s a good chance that you will have heard something about the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations here in the UK this weekend.

12 July 2011 What’s holding you back?

Listen and share…Try something different and you will get something different. I love talking to modellers at shows, finding out what they do, how they do it, sharing what I do and how I do it and in that way extending and sharing my knowledge.

16 June 2011 Valiant effort by Airfix

Vickers Valiant and Supermarine Seafire – 2 in 2 days! You really can’t ask for more, well can you? Both of these kits arrived with the last 4 days and now both have full, in-depth Here Now reviews in SMN – that, my good friends is just one example of exactly what a subscription to SMN brings you – new product reviews earlier than anyone else – certainly many weeks before most paper magazines.

29 March 2011 There’s no ‘right’ way

I felt compelled to try and share with all of you my thoughts on that thorny subject – the ‘right’ way. I have had many, many conversations with modellers at shows who tell me about a ‘bad’ experience they have had with people they have talked to at shows they attend or clubs they have gone to where they’ve received a rebuff or negative response when asking how someone did such and such a technique…
