Firstly, to all the fellow collectors out there in cyber land who have allowed me to use photographs of their own models and items, I sincerely thank you for enabling other collectors see the true beauty of these models. If I have used a photograph accidentally which is yours and have not credited it to you then please let me know. I would especially like to mention all the collectors on the MCCH  boards who have allowed me to use various items but are to many to recognise individually but who are only to happy to provide others with help - Go there and you will find what I am talking about!

My special thanks to the following collectors in particular who have contributed immensely to this site, with their knowledge and models.
