Database for Scale Modellers

Post by KitBaseGary »

Hi All,

I am new to the forum, having become a sponsor this week. Thanks to Tim and Sean for allowing me on board.

I have developed a database application for scale modellers (KitBase). The database allows you to record all of your kits and accessories in a structured way, so that you can report on them from multiple perspectives and easily keep track of the kits you want, own, sell and trade. Images and documents can also be attached to kit and accessory records for reference. The database is highly customisable, allowing you to create your own views and columns.

You can read more on the main page here:
http://www.suisoft.co.uk/kitbase/

A free trial of KitBase is available without a time limit. Printing and some advanced features are not available until you buy the full version (currently priced at 29.99 USD or 14.99 GBP).

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please post or drop me a line through the Suisoft contact page:

Cheers,
Gary Marples

It's an interesting idea. I went to the site to have a look, only to find that it's only for Windows.

At the moment KitBase only works on Windows (XP, Vista and 7). I am investigating the possibility of a Mac and/or iOS version. Unfortunately, the current version of KitBase is dependent on a couple of Microsoft-specific technologies.

Sorry I can't give you a Mac version right away.

Disregard if I missed these during my quick look at your example pages

Are there fields for Built, Build time, Disposition of Finished Model, Location of Finished Model, My Forum Posts About Model & Build

Hi Denis,

The following fields are built in:
- Built (a tick box and an optional date)
- Location (current location, e.g. "closet shelf 3", "display cabinet")
- References - a comments box that supports hyperlinks (for your forum posts)

The 'Built Time' and 'Disposition of Finished Model' fields can be added via the 'Custom Fields' facility (under 'Tools / Custom Fields').

What kind of data are you going to enter into 'Disposition of Finished Model' ?

You can try out KitBase for free by downloading the trial: http://www.suisoft.co.uk/kitbase/download.htm
There's no time limit but some features are not available.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Gary
