2001 - 2021 - 20th Anniversary November Ping

[lastvautour]

To start off, another milestone has been attained on SMM with the Gallery surpassing the  4,000,000 mark. The Forum continues to see  an outstanding level with 2,412,337 pages viewed. October had 150 new post, a level not seen since last May. The summer months are traditionally quieter than winter months.

With just two months remaining in 2021, please review your projects with intent of completing by year's end. And if you want to a new model or that first ever project, today is a good day to start.

As per last year, a yearbook will be produce with intent of featuring a special section featuring Barry/Balsabasher's solid model legacy. To that end I call upon everyone to view his gallery submission and indicate which photo you would like to see included. Your submission can be forwarded to me via SMM or email.

Barry's model can be viewed at http://smm.solidmodelmemories.net/Gallery/index.php?cat=10005

I always looked forward to Barry's updates.

His range of models, scale drawing submissions and art works are incredible.

So to start the ball rolling I will suggest his Comper Swift ( small and large). His Albatross and Gloster Gamecock.

cheers
