I'm in. I have a few NASA card stock satellites/probes and what not. Would love to try it out.

I love the "Three Dimensional Volumetric" label on those Micromodels ...

A very nice set but one with a ridiculous price!

If you like micromodels read through this site before you spend your money, as you will learn replicas are still available printed from the original plates and there is a US publisher for those on the other side of the pond:

I've got a stash of stuff on my computer, mainly Scifi from back when I was in my flat and spraying plastic kits wasn't an option.

The show of interest poll came up with 7 yesses and a maybe so we're across the six threshold...I've reset the poll to determine a period that will work for the valiant Few...

I think that four week would be ample as I, and maybe a few others, will be doing some lead-in paper model builds so that potential punters can see what is involved and the techniques used...
Please critique my posts honestly i.e. say what you think so I can learn and improve...

Simon, I think you have simply edited the existing poll which is over and done with. Check with john but I think you may have to start a new poll for the GB start date on a different thread.
