Projects

This section describes and illustrates a selection of relatively simple GWR modelling projects. Most are fairly easy and fun to do. A few are a bit more advanced, but still possible for the average modeller. Note however that these are subjective accounts, may contain certain compromises, and are not necessarily the only way to go about a given project!
