I hate to see your files and equipment at risk of getting fried. Have you considered plugging all of your computer peripherals into surge suppressors , basically every thing that connects to your computer including the phone/Fax line and network cable is surge protected; and your computer , external HD drives, and monitor into an Uninterruptible Power Supply? Then thunder storms and line voltage variations become less of a concern.

Oh rest assured, everything is on power surge protectors. I even have ALL my photos backed up to a personal smugmug account (no data limit) and ALL my digital paper models backed up to more than one cloud data backup accounts (Box 50GB x5 accounts, Degoo 1TB, Zoolz 1TB). The only thing I have not yet invested in is the uninterrupted power supply.

The foregoing certainly answers the question of Bruno's new designs, but what about older designs that have come and gone? Is there a rotation or recycling pattern so it's just a question of waiting for a particular model to re-appear?

Just checked Ecard and there's 949 aircraft models in 1/100 scale alone which should keep ANY modeller busy for decades so I hope I'm not sounding like one of those pesky 'it's-never-good-enough-types'; it's just I'm aware of some of some of his older designs not available at the moment that I would really love to have.

I don't have a problem waiting, but it would be re-assuring to know that they WILL come back someday.

Kind regards, Garry G.

Once a model is listed it stays available, there's no rotation being done. If there's a particular model that you want you also have the choice of buying it from Bruno. Just drop him a PM and he will reply with instructions on how to do so. Hope you find what you are looking for. Good luck.

Thanks elliott. I thought his work was only available through Ecard. Good to know otherwise.

Regards, Garry G.

I should add that contacting Bruno applies to his 1:100 for sale models. His free models are available in his One Plane Per Non-Working Day thread. Requests for models not yet designed should be made in the forum on the thread just referenced.

Gotcha. Thanks for taking the trouble of giving me this info. I found a list of all his creations somewhere online and most of the stuff I'd like is actually in his 1st to 3rd gen listings. Before I bother him with it, do you know if he still has designs from those early gens for sale?

Kind regards, Garry G.
