I would echo wholeheartedly what you say Wizzel. Many decades ago I reviewed kits for two magazines and there, always tried to explain in some detail the process on what the modeller might expect! This wasn't always welcomed by the kit manufacturers involved and I quite frequently got letters (no emails in those days) from the two companies that used my meagre talents, complaining I had concentrated overmuch on the negative and not enough on the positive! I don't believe this was the case as a 'cautious' but honest review will most likely encourage a purchase as opposed to a bland 'accomplishment' review as so often happens now. But hey, that's me and as I find to my cost, even in the hallowed halls of this website, not all views and contributions are appreciated.
Like you Big Kev (and others before) it would be nice to see more contributors here - no matter what level of skills they demonstrate - as with few exceptions, all contributions are seen as furthering the aims and ambitions of us all - to share the enjoyment of our modelling, appreciate the time and effort put into creating something we should rightfully be proud of, and learning from the observations, suggestions and skills of others!
Well done Neil, Bill and everyone else who devote much of their time to ensuring our interest is not diminished. We walk humbly in your shadow.
