I have a question regarding boxarts. There is following warning for boxart picture upload:
----
IMPORTANT: DO NOT UPLOAD boxart pictures which (partially) contain a real photo of the original!!!
Even when they come from the brand website
----

I was wondering why is it that way. I can understand copyright issues with some newer photos. So do the manufacturers apparently, because they do not use unlicensed photos. Now what if the "boxart" with real photo comes directly from manufacturers' catalogue, with some corporate graphic and subject description added? The real photo is of some WWII subject or older and is in public domain. Such uploaded boxarts are still being removed.

Why is it that way?

This boxart should be deleted for sure, as all the similar boxarts of ICM kits were also deleted. Normal user can't do the deletion though.

Removed, so far so good. 👍

Now what to do with boxarts like this one?

F-4EJ Kai Phantom II `302SQ ..om)´ (Hasegawa 07476, 1:48)

There are hundreds of boxarts like this on Hasegawa's kits, but also other manufacturers' like Fujimi or Revell to name a few. I expect to be many hundreds or even a few thousands of boxarts like these there. Should these be removed? I don't think so. Are these images consistent with the warning pasted above? Definitely not.

Some MK1 products got a double under the brand KA Models, which seems to be rather a webshop selling multiple brands. The box only shows the MK1 logo.

Dubena Cesky Dub No. 3228 Esso Tanker originally was C.F. Riegel Esso Tanker from the early 1960s. Dubena even uses the same box art, with slightly different colours. So the description "New tool 1975" at Dubena 3228 kit should be updated to "Reissue"

Thanks for that correction Axel. I have updated as suggested. Let me know if you have exact release date and I'll update it.

This evening I will post pictures of Flanders Modelling Festival, but a new event page for the 2024 edition is not created. It's just the same page with another date added. Therefore I won't be able to separate the pictures I will make from the ones I made in 2023, because the album needs to have the exact name of the event page, and that wasn't copied to a new edition. I might be able to make another album with the same name (didn't try that before), but you won't be able to tell which album is for which edition.

Flanders' Modelling Festival (16. Marzec, Hoboken (Antwerpen) BE)

Because there was no alternative, I changed the name of the earlier album to "Flanders' Modelling Festival 2023" and made a new album "Flanders' Modelling Festival". I still hope some arrangement can be made that the first album remains on the page with the correct edition year shown near the new album.

jus a quick question. Since recently, when posting pictures I can only see part of the picture, while before the picture was made to fit the window. I don't know when you see the same when looking at others albums? It is like this in the tumbnails, but also on my wall.

This is a though one.....

All 3 examples of ships = 100% RC, not scalemates (primary goal is RC, details are rudimentary, no aftermarket sets exist, brands mostly not known by plastic modellers.)

The 1:16 RC Tigers = of course RC, but also scalemates as many pure scale modeling aftermarket sets exists

rcmates.net was added yesterday and railwaymates.com has been reactivated today

rcmates (RCM) contains 4000 items (most of them moved over from SCM)
railwaymates (RWM) contains 50000 items (many items are visible on both. eg. 1:87 kit of a tank = fits both sites. Please note it is the same entry in the database. WHile even more only on RWM)

Powercontributors can see an additional section 'Scope'; which allows to see where items are displayed.

Thoughts on adding SpinMaster cardstock models? I was looking to add the Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer to my stash and noticed that we don't have any of that brand in the site. Since the Metal Earth kits are on the site, the site doesn't seem to be limited to just plastic models.

Thanks for clarification, it does make sense to allow some RC kits based on your explanation.

May have to look in on diecast mates for nostalgia purposes.

Please check www.rcmates.net

RC items on either scalemates or diecastmates should be visible only on rcmates.net
For an RC model which is based on a real kit (eg. the 5 rebox now including an RC engine) can be linked to both

Should

Micro Master - micromaster.co.nz/

and

Each website has its own set of products with the micromaster.co.nz/ products at the high end of the market (or as as they term them the "Premium" end)
