Why do you like the yellow one?

If you like planes and have £70,000 to spare you can buy one of our Harrier Jump Jets (that the Tories are disgracefully selling off).

Nice pics, makes me realise I need a better camera, and a better ability to take photo's.  Now I can get one of them on Amazon...   ???

Try and get a camera that will take and upload 500 pictures of figures at a time?

;) :D

If only!  These days it's a matter of finding the time to cast and blackwash them as well.  20 codes is about an hours worth of casting, then basing and blackwashing them is another hour.

Does Northumbria Uni or Durham do a photography course?  Perhaps you could draft in some volunteer photography students?

I'm sure Teesside Uni has a photo course, I'm not sure if many of them would want to cast for us though!
