My Old Reference Scrap Book

I also found this old thing while packing today, my old reference scrap book. This was me coming of age in the modern world and realising the potential of the internet. 
We take the internet for granted now but back in 2003 it was all new to me and I wasted no time to gathering up pictures and details for projects. Having them all in one place was very handy and I must have used all these pictures at one time or another.

No bad thing.
I find physical references easier to work from (they don't switch themselves off for one thing!) and these days, internet sites disappear with alarming frequency.
I have all sorts stored physically and electronically for reference.

Great idea! Like NP above, I prefer to work from "real" images when available.

Oh I see what you mean, he’s disappeared. I’m afraid I don’t know, he’s site was bloody amazing for set battles and it influenced some of my basing. I hope everything is okay.

Great looking reference Secundus, I’ve got 7 Muji polypropylene folders with pockets stuffed with reference, most from the Steve Dean forum, from back in the day. Still use them all the time.

All the best
