An Announcement

Fresh of the telegraph thingy tonight from Wes (and the rest of us).

We would like to announce a new web site for the NZ120 community.

Some modellers have expressed some frustration over the limitations of this yahoo group system and we thought the time might be right to provide a dedicated site for the scale.

Some people have said they would prefer a discussion forum format over the yahoo email format, so the new site has a discussion forum. There are one or two good NZ120 blogs out there too. The new site provides a summary of recent posts on those blogs and has some blogs of its own.

We are also going to be adding some articles on modelling, such as how to do resin casting and scratch-building. There are some good articles out there, but they tend to get buried on blogs and this will be a good home for them. If you have suggestions for how-to articles or other content let us know. We've got a place to showcase exceptional NZ120 modelling for inspiration.

There's not much there at the moment, but we all need to start adding stuff into the various areas. Pictures of things people are doing, techniques, layout ideas, or just question and answer sessions. The forum will be what we all make it, and will be a more public window into the scale.
