24 December 1999 - Finished the Handley-Page 0-400.
30 December 1999 - Split the 1:72 Database into separate alphabetical tables - (I hope it works for all of us now.)
06 February 2000 - Added the site to Peter Leonard's new WW1 models webring. Toko down the pan I hear, still the Salamander kit on my workbench is shaping - up well...
9 February - Some delays to modelling anticipated - baby 'Hope' born, 7lb 10oz, happy and healthy.
21 February - Added a colour profile of B7380 - Ruston's 1000th Camel
05 March - A few recent kits added to the database.
06 March - By unpopular request, I've added a personal homepage to the site. You have been warned, people.
12 April - Family growth notwithstanding, I managed to complete the TOKO Sopwith Salamander !
27 April - Finished a conversion of the Airfix Kit to a DH4A passenger-carrying ship. - The Aircraft that ended WW1 ?
03 June - Added a further forty-odd kits to the Kit Database Pages. Lozenge decals being added to the LVG C.VI very slowly.
28 October - A few impossible things before breakfast: I updated the Database; created a new 'Built and Unbuilt' page; completed a Sopwith Pup model (photos to follow) and did some major tidying up (both the website and the workroom.) All in all, a good day.
25 November - Finished the year with a disaster. My recently completed resin BE2e has collapsed under the tension of all that elastic rigging. Pictures posted anyway.
January 2001 - I've agreed to participate in the Sopwith Cookup. Pup C272 will be built and posted here and at the cookup site. My 'Ruston 1000th Camel' profile is mirrored (with permission) at the Cookup site.
14 January - Finished a Pegasus LVG C.VI and posted it to the pages.
11 February - Added the ICM Pfalz E.IV to the collection
24 October 2001 - After a long break due to work commitments and stuff, I'm back with a brace of Sopwith Pups and a new front page and some minor updates.
March 2002 - (40th birthday imminent...) My apologies for another long lay - off from the web pages, again due to work commitments. I'm even unsubscribed from the mailing list at the moment. There's a Toko 1 1/2 Strutter on the bench ready for when I find some time to build.
In the meantime, I've begun by updating the kit database to include all the new stuff that's come out over the past months.
November 1, 2002 - ... And again! - The Strutter is finished, but I can't find my digital camera anywhere. I've updated the kit database, which now contains 613 separate entries. That's a lot of building time.
December 2004 - After a lengthy wait, my loft conversion is now habitable. To get myself in the mood for more modelling, I went to the IPMS' Scale Model World at Telford in November. Met up with a lot of old friends I'd never actually met before - fellow members of the WW1 mailing list.
Updates to the webpages - tidied up a few out of date bits, added new pages about some older subjects that never quite made it onto the web site proper. - Curtiss Jenny (Pegasus); Junkers J.II (Phoenix.); Some Albatri (Airfix and Pegasus); Fokker D.VIII (Pegasus); Anatra DS (Emhar); Sopwith Snipe (Roden); Ansaldo SVA5 (Pegasus.)
Also added a Bristol Scout, a Pfalz D.XII, an Airco DH.2, a pair of Sopwith Strurres, a Roland VI.b, a Nieuport II, a Phonix Scout, a Siemens Schuckert D.II and a Morane Saulnier N. None of which have been built recently. And I will NOT bother putting the Hyperlinks in here. You'll have to go to the Home page, because I think I've done enough for one day.
Currently researching a South African SE5a (Post war.)
Happy modelling,
Steve Schofield
