DAVID FRANCIS,
EDITOR
david@modelaircraftmag.com
s I write this we are in the last few
days of spring and surprisingly after
a month of rain and showers in
the United Kingdom we are having
a spell of blue skies and warm days and for
most modellers, this is when the reverse
hibernations happen. Instead of settling into
our caves, sheds, lofts or modelling space
and ignoring the world, we discover the
joys of the outside and activities like fence
painting, cutting the hedges and mowing the
lawn take over any spare time you have.
Certainly, the number of reviews and articles
coming back from the team decreases. Sometimes
to the extent that it leaves the editors wondering
if we will have enough to fill the pages of the
magazine and if the worst happens you may
find an editor’s model gracing the pages a sure
sign that we are struggling with content.
This year we are also seeing the return of
normal life after the bug of 2020, hopefully
by the time you read these restrictions will be
lifted so we can all start attending model club
meetings again after the year’s enforced break.
Normally in the summer, there are also fewer
model shows, but this year a number of clubs are
also going to hold shows in the summer months
and I am sure if they do go ahead, they will be
very busy. This story is being repeated in many
countries around the world, in the United States
club meetings and shows are already happening
and the US Nationals which this year will be in Las
Vegas in August is already looking like it is going
be a record breaker with modellers travelling
from all over the USA and beyond to attend.
Over the last few months, there have been
over 22,000 website hits and over 3,200 room
bookings have been made while the competition
this year will have over 200 trophies.
The Vendors/Traders room will be packed
with over 300 tables though at this stage it is
still uncertain how many of the foreign visitors
including MA Publications will be able to make
it across the pond so watch this space.
So, as I write this it is another nice day and
I am starting a new craze al fresco modelling.
This is an attempt to produce both something
to fill the magazine, and maybe enter in a
model show competition later this summer.
Compared to my normal loft workshop, working
outside has a number of benefits. Unlimited fresh
air is a big plus and so is working in daylight, so I
have no excuse for that missed seam or botched
paint job but it also has it disadvantages, if you
thought the Carpet Monster was bad, wait until
you encounter his close cousin the Lawn Lizard.
My biggest problem however is just like
when I am at work in my loft, I get so engrossed
in what I am doing that the hours fly by in
what to me seems like just a few minutes.
So, I have the new club badge sorted for
the Al Fresco modeller club, especially for
gentleman like me who are folically challenged!
A nice touch of red arrows red to the head,
that has not been applied by an airbrush!
Until next time wherever you model or
whatever you are doing STAY SAFE and do not
forget the sun cream!
Happy Modelling
David Francis
