Launching within the 85th Anniversary Year of the Battle of Britain, the most important part of our UK history, and the world let alone us in the UK would not be what it is today without us winning in 1940, I announce the launch of my website.
www.BattleofBritainandBomberCommand.uk
Think of it like a ship, champagne bottle bang into bits, the hull floats, now the bulk of the work lies ahead in the superstructure !
Bear with me whilst I spend many more months adding to it. It is an ongoing never ending project. I launch today but there is a lot more to be added so keep going back please. I wanted to catch the 85th anniversary year, and its 1 day before the end of the BoB period 1940 ! I am as exhausted as our Few were in 1940 ! Searching 45 years of photography taken for this moment, editing the photos, some into real scenes, more of that to do, learning a website editor with 5 hours of OBS screen capture made into photoshop layers, with help from my webmaster and all done in the space of 2 weeks, and page designs a few more weeks. The RAF button alone was a few days getting the lighting right, the material a few days work. Its not for tablets and mobile phones. Models at actual size require a known device size, so a 1920px monitor its designed for. I hate piddly little pictures and the facebook toilet roll system so full screen is the way here on a lot of real items and scenes.
It's the subject but in both model form and actual objects and humans. The 'Gen' at the home page is essential reading. , as is model selection criteria used. Its about accurate shapes and colours, recreating what was actually seen back then, not necessarily what model paint manufacturers would have us believe was in use. Not any model makes it, its not for showing 'any model'. Some I have yet to see in all that time. If anyone has anything meeting with the criteria used, then contact me. details on the website. No Gladiators, or Lysanders, only one He111, Italy, mega rare, uniforms and kit, hens teeth !
I have taken the decision to show models often at their 'ACTUAL' size, as blowing up a 1/72 model X3 is unfair. Some are so good I have also shown them larger as well. Its also for historians, the public, collectors and they may wish to see things bigger just to appreciate what the subject looked like back then and without incorrect colorisation !
Any buttons clicked that don't show anything, mean I have yet to do that subject !
I have focused on the Battle of Britain , for the 85th, now to start adding in Bomber Command as well as adding more meat to the bones of BoB.
Its not just models, its a reference to real items, as well as links to sources of items shown, a visual treat to all things Battle of britain and Bomber Command !
If you spot any nav issues or errors the email address there, is the place to go.
Hope you like the site,
