Latest news and recent changes on this website:

February 2024

You may have noticed that the updates are not as regular as these used to be. The reason is that after 20 years or so of working on this website the Worldwide Web is providing everybody with up-to-date information so I consider my website no longer as a news medium but more as a place were you can find information. Also older information is kept online here.

Sometimes you will have to be patient as it may take some time before the production of a model starts, after it has been announced.
