Tinkerer, fixer, bodger, sums me up too! :thumbup:
I'm afraid, after several tries. Those mags hold no attraction for me...... :(

One or both of the American magazines have collections of old articles assembled into books. You might try that, as it seems to me that the older articles are more interesting. Guy Lautard also has some interesting compilation books. So for the price of a few issues of a magazine you get a whole bunch of the best articles.

I have not been very happy with ME and the way it has changed so I have switched to Eng. in Miniature and will give it a trial for a year.
It is interesting to see a different approach and as the same people organise the Midlands exhibition which I prefer to the Sandown one I think I'll be satisfied.

Hi there, all,
In fairness to the publishers of magazines, we should remember that they can only publish interesting articles if interesting articles are submitted to them. :bang: :bang: :bang:
One reason why that might not be happening with sufficient volume is that we are more and more describing our projects and methods etc. on sites like Mad Modders and YouTube.
:mmr: BUT ..... we probably can't have it both ways!
At one time, I had 50 years-worth of Model Engineer back numbers and I used to greatly enjoy getting out a volume or two now and again and browsing through them (I had no television in those days!). Partly because I ceased to have the space to store them and partly because of other changes of personal circumstances, I had to dispose of that collection. I still have some regret for that.
It could well turn out that the paper magazines have a more lasting presence than electronic media - what happens to my pictures on Photobucket when I 'fall off my twig'? :scratch: :scratch: :scratch:

Should not be a problem now they would also be in the cloud. But to be safe stay on the lower twigs there is a better chance of being stood back up! I'm only 60 and tell my son to always have at least 6 good friends to carry you out.
