SCALE MODEL NEWS

Here's a reminder that our 'Scale Model News Xtra' compilation site is available at the click of a button on the top bar. SMNX is proving very popular, so here are some guidance notes for iPad and other tablet users. The default for your iPad is likely to be 'mobile view', which is OK enough with all entries ranged in a left-hand column onscreen - but it's not half as much fun as the 'zillions of small squares' display that you get by default on a tower computer or a laptop. It's easy enough to change though - simply scroll to the bottom and tap 'View web version' - et voila, those colourful squares will scurry into place on the screen, as above. Note too, that you can arrange them by date or author. The date view is useful as they self-assemble into regimented monthly groups. Enjoy!  

Here we go again, seeing out the last of the old year 2012, and looking forward to the New Year 2013 to come. Of course, some countries are already there, including Australia, which has celebrated with the traditional Sydney Harbour firework display. Estimates reckon that no less than 1.5 million people turned up for the show. Excellent stuff! And here's a reminder too, that the SMN 'collation site' Scale Model News Xtra is worth a look, not least as a reminder of just how many articles there are to read! We've added a link in the top bar of SMN to make visiting SMNX easier in future. Once again, a Happy New Year and Best Wishes to you all.
