Scale Aviation Modeller International 08 2005


Apparently, or so the demographics tell us, we don't build so many kits in the Summer. Who distilled this piece of nonsense, and from what, I cannot imagine, but the idea that all the plastic modellers of the world have put aside their scalpels and liquid poly, and taken advantage of the weather to enjoy a nice game of tennis seems unlikely. Strangely enough the manufacturers seem to have embraced the notion, and the flood of kits anticipated back in the spring has slowed to a thin trickle (mainly of Dassault Mirages), and the assumption seems to be that a languidly has pervaded the modelling space and dried up the last remnants of the foul gooey water in the bottom of the bowl on the workbench. Memo to self: Must change the decal water this year. Ironic really, when one considers the usual public perception of plastic modellers as pale cave-dwelling creatures who shun the light and toil away behind closed curtains. Could it be that the demographics are actually right, and that we are, in reality, a race of bronzed sun worshipping demi-gods?
