News 28 March 2010 News

Good news! There is motivation found. This site will be updated now and in the future. I think taking the year off to "clear the cobwebs" has helped and has helped me find a "newness" to VVS modeling. Granted, personally I'm still way in the 'tweener mood, but I'm hoping that will translate to VVS 'tweener builds. (By the way, 'tweener referes to between-the-wars aircraft.) Once I clear out a huge back-log of in-progress kits (unfortunately only one or two being VVS) then I will try to revive a few 'tweener VVS projects I've been wanting to start. In the meantime, enjoy what I'm about to upload, and watch frequently for more. There are a ton I have back-logged, including an awesome article by Ken Duffy on building Pe-8s. I also need to update the forum software, so don't be surprised when I take that off-line.

I know there has been tons of controversy lately with this site and colors, but my personal take on it right now is I'm focusing on the models. I have numerous gallery entries to add, a few in-the-box previews, and a couple of full-build articles. But even so, right now this is NOT about colors and all that - right now, at least for me personally, it's only about the models and what I've been needing to add to the site. (Matt)
