A happier New Year 2021.

 What did you get in your Sock?

Christmas has proved through for model making and the traditional boys toys, but it has also included drones and cameras as gifts with new state of the art features that sometimes us oldies cannot keep up with?

Lockdown isolation does not have to be depressing with model railways, war gaming and interactive platforms. Looking out the window offers many different opportunities to observe nature, the skyline, vehicles and transport or something totally different?

We have to know that you cannot use a drone at a certain height and distance from any airport or field and one is not sure what the regulations say in relation to railway lines or yards or ports, marinas at that!

We are all hoping for a happier New Year, but with the warning from WHO, it may be getting worse?

Model World.

Modelling.

The hobby of modelling those machines that we like to look at, film and photograph can be some times the closest we will ever get to seeing how they are designed and made. From Space to trains and automobiles to ships, there is nearly a model for every machine that has ever been created.

Owning a model layout or a racing track to a model diorama is knowing that you have put it together and can adapt and change it at any time.

Wither these models are glued or remote control, racing cars, boats or a model railway they will bring us hours of pleasure.

The model world is not for everyone, but for many it is a great joy and past time. I wonder what Father Christmas will be bringing us this year in our over sized stocking?
