Photo Etch Tool

Been using a lot of photo etch parts recently but I don't have a tool for the job. I normally use the edge of a steel ruler but it isn't a perfect solution.

I have looked at the etch mate tools but they are usually upwards of £40.

So I was pleased to find this relatively cheap tool from airwaves on Hannants the other day. It was only a few pounds and while it's not a full blown etch tool it looks like it will be good for simple bends etc.

Not used it yet but I will let you know how I get on.

New Club Forum

I have been wanting to update the club forum for a while. We are currently using an old peice of software which is pretty limited.
Just recently I came across a new fourm software package which has loads of good features including the ability to add attachments to posts etc.

I have put the new forum up on the website but it is not yet linked to the main site, the only way to get to it is to go to the following web address...

http://www.bridscalemodelclub.org.uk/ClubForum/index.php

NOTE: You will have to register with this forum, it will not accept your current forum user name and password.

Once registered you can try it out....

Please have a look and let me know what you think. If we all agree it is ok I can replace the existing forum with this new.
