The first time the hornby trains guys used 3d scanning was at the end of last year, our first subject was the heinkel which we scanned in January this year. We have found someone who understands the products and works to a favourable price, in the past the investment required was just too high.

It looked worthwhile from the talk in the lecture room Matt, great model that Commando, I'm in for that and the Defiant

I suppose that was you in the centre with the screen to your right?

Did you know that the Boulton and Paul society has a wealth of data for the Defiant Matt?

The archive keeper gave me the impression that no-one had asked about it, was he right?

Anyway, I'm glad I got the guess partly right. I thought Defiant but got the scale wrong

Yes that was me talking about the Heinkel design

We have had a good chunk of the airframe-related B+P archive material in our office for the past year, we took it all back up to telford this year to return to him, he has been brilliant keeping it quiet, very helpful and fantastically knowledgable too. He may not have realised we had announced it when you spoke to him. If you saw him with a big box full of ring binders, that was what we gave back

There's quite a big space in the middle, guesses people... please....

Please don't tell me that was Airfix's display?

As the owner of an exhibition display company I'm frankly shocked.....

I understand it's a cottage industry (to a point) but frankly that's embarressing

That was half way through setting up, it looked better than that. But yes I agree it could be improved, not my department though, and not helped by the fact that the tables etc. are really meant for selling kits at airshows rather than exhibitions. All change for next year though.

Perhaps we should quote for the job!

I must admit, our 1:72 Defiant model research did overlap somewhat...

Oh yeah...and tell Simon he needs to work on his body language when answering questions
