    Ahhh, Mr. DIGBY.

    Hope you are keeping well.

    You may well get a reasonable answer from Mark12 as he appears happy to justify his actions, at least he has with me. If, however, you’re expecting some kind of response from the Webmaster, I believe there to be something of a queue.

    Neil.

    What a coincidence. My viewfinder has a knob behind it as well! Just tried it and it works.

    Now, if it’s that easy to do that, why does my eye test last an hour?

    I have mine filed under the ABC method which works quite well for me.

    A = All Right.

    B = Blurry.

    C = Crap.

    There is a D category which is where most of mine end up, it stands for Discard. (Even worse than crap.)

    If you explain that to me in English I might be able to answer you.

    If anyone has a surplus of money this year I would love to have a go at that with all the bells and whistles. It looks fantastic.

    Perhaps I should start saving…..

    Ollie.

    Don’t take comments to heart.

    Wozza.

    Glasses can be an issue. I wear them and find it can be easier to take them off if you take pictures using the viewfinder. I personally can’t take shots using the screen as I’m never able to judge proerly what I am looking at. I use a Minlta Z3 and the results are limited more by my lack of talent than the ability of the camera.

    It’s under Revell badging now but it’s still the same kit. Comes out well despite its age. Like a lot of us I suppose.

    I tend to have a go at anything Im interested in at the time but has encompassed aircraft, ships, armour, figures, buildings, dioramas anything. Only about 50% ever get finished then I usually give them to local kids to play with. I need the space for books. It’s good physiotherapy for my fingers.

    Like Frank, I use whatever I need. But also include oils, pastels, crayons, pencil lead is sometimes good for exhaust stains and chalk can be useful as well. I do not use Testor’s as I personally hate the stuff. I also brush paint and don’t have an airbrush but might invest in one Christmas. Water colours are also good for filling recessed panel lines to highlight them.

    I once did a Flower Class Corvette in 1/72 scale and am thinking about having a go at another. Apparently there are a number of after market detail sets available.

    My apologies, you were right about the chemical weapons.

    “As for your democracy question, it’s a good point.There is democracy of sorts,but not to a western extent.They have an elected legislature (Majlis) & elected government. The chief executive of the government & national leader is an elected president who delegates powers to a Prime Minister.
    There is also a Supreme Leader (currently Ayatollah Khameini) who is not elected & commands the military.He also has the power to (but rarely does) over-rule the President.He also selects an un-elected Guardian Council which has to approve all legislation & can veto potential Majlis & presidential candidates.”

    So, it’s not really a Democracy at all is it? If the Ayatollah selects the unelected Guardian Council and can veto any and all potential Presidential Candidates it is nothing more than a dictatorship masquerading as a democracy. If you can only vote for a group of candidates personally approved by the Ayatollah that makes a complete nonsense of any election. Basically the Ayatollah is saying you can vote for anyone you wish as long as they meet with my approval.

    I think the most telling comment yet is from Old Git.

    That’s easy Peter. Buy a plot of land, build a climate controlled hangar and then move her there.

    There are so many airframes of real significance that have been lost forever that I personally fail to see the fuss of over ‘saving’ one more white elephant. There are Concordes at Filton, East Fortune, Duxford, Yeovilton and Manchester. Do we really need another one?

    I would much rather see some of the other airliners that are currently corroding away receive some care instead of pampering yet another Concorde.

    It’s the “clique” at work isn’t it? Ah well, yet something else for the webmaster to look at.

    “Strange photos…”

    Only got to the mid 70’s yet but they are some of the most iconic photographs of the latter half of the 20th Century.
