If you don't have a news server (check with your service provider,) try getting to them through Google Groups. They, and I, can't be held responsible for what's posted. On occasion there will be spam (unsolicited, out of place, off topic postings for things like porn sites) but they're (fortunately) rare. Google also won't carry the binary groups - if you can't get a newsgroup server through your ISP, ignore the binary groups, or look for a third party news server.
rec.models.scale - Good modelling tips, news, and advice - just ask.
alt.binaries.models.scale - Occasionally shows model pictures, since it's a binary group, it does get other spam.
