Model aeroplanes

Whether Airfix, balsa, Spitfires, Hurricanes, RC or free-flight ... it's very easy to record your hobby with CollectAny.

It's simple and flexible database software that can be used at different levels of complexity depending on your needs. It's well-suited to collecting models of all sorts because it is designed to pull different types of information together (the photos text, values and links relating to each model can easily be entered).

You can configure your own designs with your own fields. You can import and export data. The reporting side gives you attractive output that can be saved to documents or emailed. You can even automatically generate web pages and websites.

The web-cam feature is useful because it speeds up getting photos of models into the database. The good thing with CollectAny is that you can get more ambitious with your collections as you get to know the app. For instance you could create a collection that not only lists about your models but also gives background information and history about the real thing. All presented in an attractive way.

Or you could use CollectAny to document projects or to produce step-by-step guides or even to generate a model-club website as one of the more complex examples shows.

We've found people like the ability to switch between form and spreadsheet view and the way it can automatically generate reports. It's a great way to get your information organised and to let the app also show off the beauty of your models and share all the interesting information.

It's very easy to create a collection. All you have to do is start the 'one-click designer' in the app and when it asks what you want to collect enter 'model aeroplane'. It will then automatically create a collection, ready for your data. There are other methods of creating collections too - you can alter and create designs as you wish.

We've also included a template above if you want to use this simple example about aircraft. This demonstrates how you can put a nice background photo to you collection and how styles can easily be customised.
