Great Product

Though hardly inexpensive (starting at around 00), for an enthusiast with cash to spare and too little time, it's a great way to acquire a model so stunning you could park it in your living room.

On the other hand, many people would rather build a model themselves, regardless of how long it takes or how much work is involved. For them there's nothing finer than a Pocher kit, which was the starting point for the model cars you're seeing here.

"Building Pocher models is one of the most challenging and satisfying projects I have ever attempted. You don't need much space and it really is not an expensive hobby. The initial cost of the kit might be high but it takes so long to build one of these kits that the cost per hour is quite reasonable and, at the end, you have a very beautiful model indeed. As well, you don't need all kinds of modelling experience to build one of these things. I don't think I built more than four or five models of any sort in my life before I started my first Pocher in 1999."

Rick's company can help if you're a novice. Step-by-step "how to's" can be found on the Web site, along with manuals designed for specific models.

Aside from these large-scale cars The Modellers Workshop also offers pre-built 1:24 models, some in diorama format enclosed in acrylic cases. If you're a museum-goer you'll know the term "diorama," which in essence refers to a three-dimensional construction such as the Nativity scenes that decorate many Christmas displays. Model railway fans will certainly be familiar with them. Personally I love dioramas because I like to see cars in a real world environment, especially one that no longer exists.

Monitoring Your Pet’s Weight by Richard Romando

It is important to monitor your pet's weight, especially since many of us see our pets day to day and don't notice weight changes unless they are drastic. Using pet scales is the best way to monitor your pet's health, and there are a variety of pet scales on the market.

Seca Pet Scales offer both mechanical and digital pet scales at affordable prices. The Seca 345 has a unique folding feature for the on the go user. The Pet Scale Model 725 is one of Seca's most durable and versatile pet scales. The Model 727 by Seca includes useful features such as hold and tare for better accuracy. Seca's top of the line Pet Scale 728 PC has incorporated a proprietary damping system to factor out variations caused by movement; revealing the animal's true weight every time. This is especially handy, because many animals are fidgety when put on a pet scale. The last of the medium size pet scales is the Model 334. This pet scale offers a much larger weighing platform and a carrying handle for added convenience, and is a popular choice in the world of pet scales.

The Seca Pet Scale Digital Model 334 offers maximum safety and accuracy when weighing animals. Although the Seca 334 pet scale's weighing tray is much larger and more comfortable than trays of other scales, it requires amazingly little space. The large, clear liquid crystal display and practical handle make daily weigh-ins easy. The Seca 232 ruler, an option offered with every Seca digital pet scale, measures animals easily from fourteen to thirty two inches. The Seca Pet Scale 334 is a good choice that is also affordable.

Detecto and Health-o-Meter also make a wide variety of pet scales with digital displays and weight lock-in features for fidgety animals.
