I've participated to some degree or other on various internet forums covering a fairly wide range of subjects including other modelling related ones. The notable points of this website & forum for me are:
Very useful & inspiring information & build logs on the Internet page.
The format of the forum is clear & simple - on some forums it's difficult to find the threads & postings sandwiched between adverts & frankly rubbish.
The content on the forum - thanks to Des & the members - is packed with valuable builds, tips, photos & above all inspiration.
The icing on the cake though is the lack of sniping & unfriendly behaviour which is a plague afflicting so many forums. 'Handbags at dawn' due to a disagreement over some tiny detail gets very boring & is a reason to avoid some forums (even one or two other WW1 related)

The above is due to the way Des runs his ship, the effort he's put in & of course to the members - my thanks to all concerned.
Regards
