New section: modelgun history.

Folks,

There is now a new section, dedicated to modelgun history. There are several topics there:
- Modelgun history (sticky) that tries to put together a consistent view on when and why modelguns were created.
- List of manufacturers (sticky) contains an alphabetical list of companies as the first post, to help find all interesting information in one place. It has links to individual manufacturer topic, main name, as well as Japanese name (might be not accurate).
- individual manufacturer pages: there is (or should be) one created for every manufacturer that is known.

If you can add/correct information contained in these pages, please post in appropriate topic :-)

Please be aware that a lot of what is there could be incorrect, although I made efforts to only include information that could be clearly sourced - from this forum, or external websites.

Based on what I've seen already, smootik has put a lot of effort into this project. If this series of articles is anywhere near as good as his Reviews it'll be a really interesting account of Modelgun History.
I'm looking forwards to this.

As smootik says, many of you have a depth of knowledge about modelgun and cartridge design, Company structures, Moulds moving from one factory to another etc etc. I hope that some of you will be inspired to comment and post additional information when you can.

I added some company logos.

Please let me know if you have good quality logos. Most of posted ones (except HobbyFix/HF, Hartford/HWS, Komoda/KKS, Nakata, Suzuki) are redrawn based on originals (picture of box) to get better quality.
