Another Tom Daniel car graces us with its presence today. One
of my all time faves, the ol' Revell-Monogram Pie
Wagon.

I finally got around to adding one of the figures I completed
a few months ago, a 1/24th scale Vampirella.
Some of the figures I've been working on could be considered
a bit risqué, consequently they will be in a separate
section to which I've added an age verification doohickey, just
to be on the safe side.

It's only taken years, but there is finally a new 1/32nd
scale aircraft up. Hasegawa's
Boeing P-12E is gracing us with its presence today.
There is also a 12-part YouTube series on my trials and tribulations
of building this aged kit, which can be seen here.

The transformation is complete, the creature lives! I've finally
finished switching all the pages to the new format, everything
has been checked and tested and, other than the confirmation
for the contact page, everything appears to be functioning correctly.
The broken confirmation page may be semi-permanent, for a while
at least. I suspect it's a Javascript issue but I'm pretty crap
at Javascript so I may not be able to fix it myself. The contact
form does work though, so please feel free to use it and I will
get the message. If in doubt, there's always email.
Next up, I will be replacing the older pictures with shiny new
ones.

I'm gettin' there! Most of the site has now been switched
to the new format, there's really only the "Etc."
pages left and a bit of tidying up here and there. I've also
managed to get the contact form working - sort of. The form
works, I will receive a message, but for some reason the confirmation
page doesn't load. So, once you hit the 'submit' button, you
don't need to wait around for a page telling you your message
has been sent, 'cause you just won't get one I'm afraid. I'm
working on it, and hopefully I will get it fully functional
in the near-ish future. I have also added a reCAPTCHA function.
I know, I know, I am sorry about that. We all hate them, but
as always, a few spamming assholes have to ruin it for the rest
of us, so it is an unfortunate by-product of the wonderful age
we live in.

All the aircraft and the armour pages are now switched over
to the new format, with the exception of the armour reviews.
There are only three so they won't take long. Cars are next
in line for the upgrade.
I'm also improving a lot of the existing photos as I go, and
updating some of the outdated information in the articles and
links pages. Once the site upgrade is finished, I will work
on replacing some of the pictures with better ones. Many of
the pics on here were taken more than twenty years ago with
a 1 mega pixel camera. State of the art in 2002, not so much
in 2025!

Making good progress on the revamp. All the 1/144th and 1/72nd
aircraft pages have been updated to the new format and I am
trying to get at least 9 or 10 pages a day updated. It's a lot
of work, but hopefully by the end of the month I will have the
vast majority of the site switched over. I am doing my best
to test everything as I go but there may be the odd link or
two that temporarily doesn't work.
I also have the first of the Figures loaded, good ol' Batman
gets this new section up and running.

Lookee here, a jolly, happy, shiny new format! I have been thinking
of a major update for quite some time now, mainly to drag myself
kicking and screaming into the 21st century, get rid of the
frames and change everything to single pages, which seems to
be all the rage these days. I've also, hopefully, simplified
the navigation and got rid of some of the pages which no longer
hold any interest for me.
You'll also notice there is now a Figures section, a new effort
for me and one I am still trying to acquire some skills in.
I have quite a few done however and they will appear in that
section as and when I have time to create pages for them.
Most of the main pages have now been updated to the new format,
however switching all of the pages will take a lot of time and
effort, so please bear with me while I slowly get the rest swapped
over. In the meantime, you can use your browser's back button
to navigate back to the main pages where all the navigation
buttons are available.

A minor, not-really-an-update update today. You may notice that
warpedplastic.co.uk now takes you to warpedplastic.ca. This
because the UK company hosting this site since its inception
way back in 2004 (yes, unbelievably, this site has been around
for 21 years!!) is shutting its doors. Consequently, I moved
it to a new server in Canada and I took the opportunity to also
register the .ca domain. Once the .co.uk address expires later
this year, this site will only exist under the .ca domain. There
are more changes afoot - stay tuned!
