Blue is ok ... it makes a difference from white I'd definitely like to see a Superchamp in this calendar (assuming you've got a 7 megapixel+ original), otherwise I guess pick out & email me half a dozen of your favourites & I'll pick out a couple to go in the calendar |

This is the layout so far:
Cover: Edou stealth thingy - to me, this shot sums up what I think Tamiyabase is about - Tamiya, pushed further. January: My mk.1 Scorcher + extras: February: Larbut's B2B Sidecar -this one just grabbed me for some reason, even though it is really obscure... March: Nothing so far April: my vintage & re-hash Sand Rovers ... I like the concept behind the shot (and showing off the extra work I did on the re-hash), but the pic is not really interesting enough & I'm quite happy for this one to get pushed out May: my Bruiser; again I'm happy for this to get pushed out when/if something better comes along. June: Gingerspice's Scorcher; could get moved to a different spring/early summer slot, but I would like to include it. ... |

And the rest of the year:
July: Larbut's SRB Family: August: zephyrin's Wild One: September: Edou's Stealth Thingie again - really captures an end of summer feel: October: My Bigwig. Just filler really, quite happy for this to get pushed aside November: My Fox, I think this is my 2nd choice out of my pics, but still it could be sacrificed: December: My Brat in some snow + "cut out & keep" / MYO small scale kit boxes (these won't be blank on the calendar |

I definitely vote for the Fox to stay in. Looking awesome.
And calling on all the members to send in their pics! This is a good short description of Sinterklaas. It's celebrated early (5th of) December. He's supposed to come from Madrid in a boat (never understood how) and rides a white horse over the rooftops. His politically incorrect helpers going down chimneys to bring presents to the kids. They get told that if they're bad, Sinterklaas will put them in a bag and take 'em to Spain. Nice... |

I've edited the "layout" posts rather than creating new ones, changes are:
- larbut's Super Champ has been dropped in favour of a 4-way SRB family, combining larbut's Super Champ, Ranger, Sand Scorcher & Rough Rider - I've "improved" my December pic ... I decided "Black Pete" was probably a step too far - added a "Nothing!" placeholder for blank months We desperately need two more suitable images - from different members - to have a calendar at all, and preferably six to have one anyone would want to buy ... |

I also would like to credit the model and user that contributed each pic, perhaps along with a few words describing the subject; for example the "credit" on my garage pic would be:
Tamiya 58016 Sand Scorcher Mk.1 (1979) Scratchbuilt fake engine Many hours spent building tools Lost much cash on sales - Jonny Retro, UK or, for Edou's Stealth buggy Tamiya 58100 Top Force Custom Low slung black buggy Looks so cool in sunset Ongoing Hop-ups - Edou, Netherlands Haiku optional |

One for December:
Sadly no Black Petes Political correctness Such a crock of _ _ _ _ |

I like this idea. Makes the calendar more interesting to look at.
Has Waterbok found high res images of his lovely photos yet? -Lars Signature now gets correct formatting if you edit it in your Profile. Use normal BBcode if you want.
