Thanks for the link Lou,

I'll have to put it on the places to visit list.

Lou,
Looks like an interesting place. Bit of a long way from here, though complaining about 200 odd miles (very odd in East Anglia) will sound a bit pathetic to you colonials.
Intrigued that the solids are 1/36 as used by James Hay Stevens. I've also seen this scale in older model books so it was definitely a "standard' scale.
Cheers
Will

I don't know why 1/36 did not continue as a standard considering it is twice the size of 1/72. 1/32 seemed to have been favoured in plastic modeling.
