Just acquired a stock car racing board game from circa 1954/55 with a story behind the picture on the box lid. It is pictured on the Nostalgia page with a few research facts. Link below: http://www.mossmodels.co.uk/page32.htm Also updated the picture on the home page of drivers 7th to 12th in the National Points which now includes a fully stickered model of 35 Neil Shenton. Stickers obtained from Matthew of Stox Signs. Link below: http://www.mossmodels.co.uk/index.htm A feature will appear shortly explaining how to make shale aerofoils for the Ed Creations models.

Home Page updated with the 2012 National Points Championship top 12 pictured in model form after Buxton yesterday. Link below: http://www.mossmodels.co.uk/ Only eight more meetings before phase one of the National Points Championship concludes and the top 12 go into phase two - the Shootout stage. As I shall be away in the USA until early July, further updates will recommence after that date. Colin Moss Making Stox History

A Meccano stock car model from 1980 called 'Stock Car Smasher' has been pictured on the Stock Car Nostalgia page. Link below: http://www.mossmodels.co.uk/page32.htm Not the best representation of a stock car but saw it on ebay and couldn't resist adding it to my collection. Colin Moss Making Stox History

Hi Tom It's quite a labour intensive procedure but can be used for most models, including those excellent ones that you produce, and the sense of achievement at the end is well worth it. If you don't want to wait for the feature on the web page, pm me your email address and I'll let you have the details in advance. All the best Colin

A feature on 495 John Cayzer has been added to the Memories of the Past page. Link below: http://www.mossmodels.co.uk/page36.htm The Top 10 in the 2012 National Points Championship has been amended to include the King's Lynn double header last weekend and includes a picture showing an Ed Creations tarmac model with a shale aerofoil. A bit of poetic licence giving Neil Shenton an early red roof! Link below: http://www.mossmodels.co.uk/index.htm A new page will shortly be added to the website with the title 'How To.....' and will have features on how to make a durable shale aerofoil for the Ed Creations models, how to put together and play a F1 Shoot-Out game, how to create a searchable database of registered F1 drivers for the iPad and iPod and how to make wheels for model stock cars - watch this space!

Just purchased some cars complete with Matthew's graphics. Brings them to life! Great value as well. For a picture of the models plus graphics and details of price and how to contact Matthew click on link below: http://www.mossmodels.co.uk/page31.htm I'm so pleased with the models I collected at Belle Vue that I've ordered some more.

Hi Sally Sorry to hear you're having trouble viewing the first 15 pages. I've just checked it and it appears to be working ok. Clicking on the link to the Blurb book site should bring up my book. Wait until the the 15 pages are loaded and then click on the white arrow next to the book. This will turn the first page and then click on each right hand page. Hope this works for you. Thank you very much for ordering a copy anyway! Hope you get as much enjoyment from it as I did writing it. Best wishes Colin
