4. Summary of 2002

- Total new pages (parts) introduced = 12
- Number of new pictures introduced = 458
- Total number of pictures at yearend =1554
- Number of dioramas introduced in 2002 = 18
- Number of models/figures introduced in 2002 = 57 
- Number of hours used in doing everything except modelling = incalculable
- Number of hours used in modelling by Art Instructor = incalculable
- Costs of models & modelling for the year = you guess ;-)
- New Java applets introduced = StarWars, Weather, Anpuzzle and Zoom&Pan
- New Games/Dio's Page introduced = 24 Jigsaw Puzzle Games + 24 Zoom&Pan Dio's
- Visitors' Feedback = Extremely positive. Got so much compliments & admiration

It takes so many many factors to come up with a good, attractive model website. I myself can't do it all my own, but I'm lucky enough to have Art Instructor helping me in the most difficult part - modelling. I'm also lucky enough to afford all the costs and to have the talent required in running the site. On top of that is my model mania - the obsession with military models - which seems to be unlimited. It's the real driving force!. It's the same mania and the same force that drives most of you on here reading the report of my modelling activities of the year 2002.

Happy Modelling!
Model Maniac
