Announcement about new part work series from Hachette and a new web site from me.

Hachette have released a partwork series featuring a Lancaster Bomber. This is a massive model in 1/32 scale. I shall be covering the build on a new web site www.lancaster.partworkmodels.co.uk

I have also started a new web site www.partworkmodels.co.uk which covers all part work models released in the UK. There is a community of modellers who like the partwork style, and I have created this web site as a portal to bring them together. As the site covers all partworks, the models, modellers and forum will survive from build to build, rather than finishing with one project, and then starting from scratch when a new one comes along.

There is a forum attached to the new web site at www.partworkmodels.co.uk/phpBB3. It's a great place to compare notes, admire other people's work, and show off your own work.

"Open Fire" is now available as a print - see the special offer below

Details of Hachette's offer for Radio Control Equipment

Hachette advised that the pack will also include a 6 volt 4.5ah Battery & Charger

Reader's Special Offer

Anatomy of the Ship: The Battleship Bismarck available at a discount to readers of this web site.

Build The Bismarck is a magazine published by Hachette Partworks. It's a weekly magazine, with the main aim being to complete a 1/200 scale model of the Bismarck, which will take 140 issues. I would suggest that first time visitors read the 'Magazine' Page, then have a look at the model pages.

The magazine is published every Wednesday in the UK.

The model can be build with as a static display model or as a radio controlled model. I intend to do the latter, and hope to add a few extras, such as rotation gun turrets, etc.

If anybody has any suggestions, please drop me an Email. If anybody has any photos that they would like me to consider publishing on this site I would like to hear from them. Pictures of Models are particularly welcome.
