I had been following the banal thread on RMWeb with people expecting every single term and condition extrapolated. I naively assumed I was in sync with Iain and Simon, in that there didn't need to be strict rules; you just felt what a Cameo was. In the same way that I find it impossible to describe what "Northern Soul" record is, you just hear a song and know it's "Northern" and you can't explain how you know that.
There's no doubt that a key component of a Cameo is that it's modest in size, but I always imaged that it was what was considered modest relative to the scale being modelled in..…….
…….Cameo layouts should have been judged on their merit and feel, rather than the judges getting a tape measure out. The wind has been taken out of my sail. I'm trying to console myself with the knowledge that I probably wouldn't have finished in time, but I was looking forward to the deadline (hopefully) pushing me along...
Ah Mr Seal
you are a poet,
a dreamer,
of beautiful dreams
I have but one word to say in response - Ashburton
Seriously, as we discussed yesterday at Railwells, I think this is a very interesting idea which is very much in the "cameo spirit" and please do develop it as we discussed.
