var PICTURE_1 = "<strong>These two cars are by John W.</strong><br />" +
    "Not much info is available, other than John is trying his hand at " +
    "re-building old kits that were discarded.";

var PICTURE_2 = "<strong>This AFV is by Robert A.</strong><br />It is a " +
    "German, World War Two, Tank Destroyer named the 'Bison II', that had a " +
    "150mm gun installed in an extended Panzer II tank hull. The 1/35th " +
    "scale kit is by a Russian company called ALAN and was great to put " +
    "together. About twelve of the actual tanks were produced mid 1941-42 " +
    "and only saw service in North Africa in the Libyan Desert. The records " +
    "show they were a very good tank indeed for the desert, especially being " +
    "open. Because of that the crews loved them. This tank could have made " +
    "it much more difficult for the British had they been produced.";

var PICTURE_3 = "<strong>This racing car is one of Andy S's " +
    "re-works.</strong><br />This one, using a 1/24th scale slot car for " +
    "the basis, appears to be one version of a Can-Am McLaren M8. Andy has " +
    "added an engine and other details.";

var PICTURE_4 = "<strong>This plane was built by Mark S.</strong><br />" +
    "This is what he had to say about it:<br />It is a Revell 1/48th F-15E " +
    "Eagle done in a colour scheme for the 1998 'Tiger Meet'. There is " +
    "excellent detail in the kit and it almost builds itself. An Eduard " +
    "photo-etch coloured metal set was added to the cockpit and seats. The " +
    "details in these colour-sets really make the cockpit standout and once " +
    "you acquire some skill putting the pieces on, they go together quite " +
    "easily. The 'Tiger stripes' are kit decals which required some work to " +
    "apply. The model was air-brushed, weathered and further dry brushed to " +
    "bring out more detail.  The 'turkey feather' exhaust pipes needed some " +
    "experimenting with various types of ALCLAD in order to obtain " +
    "sufficient contrast between the pieces. Principal colour used was " +
    "titanium.  The model is displayed with a full weapons load consisting " +
    "of two AMRAAM and two Sidewinder missiles, two GBU-15, two GBU-16 and " +
    "four GBU-10 bombs.  The only thing that came with the kit are 4 " +
    "Sidewinders and two drop tanks. On the model I used one drop tank and " +
    "two Sidewinders from the kit, then added two AMRAAM's from Hasegawa's " +
    "Superhornet F/A-18F,  four GBU-12's and two GBU-16's from  the Hasegawa " +
    "Weapon Set D. The two GBU-15's were converted from GBU-10's in Hasegawa " +
    "Weapon Set B. Construction of the weapons is a good project in itself.";

var PICTURE_5 = "<strong>This is an on-going project by Bill B.</strong>" +
    "<br />  The body is from an MPC kit but the chassis is from a 1971 MPC " +
    "Cougar, which is more correct as far as the engine compartment detail " +
    "is concerned.  The drawing was made from a picture of the actual " +
    "ram-air shroud under the hood that ducts air into the air cleaner / " +
    "carburetor. I used the KODAK EASY SHARE program which was downloaded " +
    "off the net. The programme is a way to turn any picture into a " +
    "'colouring book' style drawing, which as you can see, is not only more " +
    "printer-friendly,  but gives a guide for building detail parts for any " +
    "kit.";
    
var PICTURE_6 = "<strong>Here's Andy, just soaking it all in.</strong><br />" +
    "Special thanks to Bill for the detailing seminar!";
