In the meantime. I've been giving as much thought as my poor old, tired and set-in-its-ways brain can handle to the business of how best to display models on the inter web. There are a couple of problems, well, three actually if you include making models that are good enough to photograph. One is the problem of giving models a human scale. Many solve this with dioramas but they are more difficult for aircraft than for vehicles and, in any event, I am not a diorama kind of guy. The other is how to indicate scale relationships because showing a model by itself, or even in a diorama, gives no indication of its scale relationship to the outside world. Having given these matters a little thought I tried some experiments which are based on my experience working in an aviation museum and studying them enough to have a bit of paper to hang on my wall to indicate that I have a slight idea about the subject.
Any comments are welcomed. I particularly like the photos of the AMX10 and the Air France A.321. The photo of the SAAB shows that I still need to do some work on my basic modelling skills.
