Model Boats Magazine August 2022 Edizione posteriore

WELCOME TO THE AUGUST 2022 ISSUE OF MODEL BOATS....

I’ve never made any secret of the fact that one of my favourite sections of the magazine to work on is Your Models, so I’m really
delighted that more and more of you are getting into the “All hands on deck” spirit and sharing the stories behind, and photographs of, your brilliant builds. While I am in awe of the skills clearly accumulated by so many of you over decades of hands-on experience, it’s been especially lovely to see that some of the fantastic models showcased this month are the work of those who’ve only recently taken up the hobby and who’ve been inspired to put their own take on plans and project ideas featured in Model Boats. So, whether you’re a seasoned master craftsman or a complete novice, please keep your letters/emails coming because they really are the very heart of what the magazine is all about!

On the subject of community, as Covid restrictions now seem to be easing up, we’d really like to be able to include advance notification of as many hobby-related shows, open days, exhibitions, etc, as possible. Please, therefore, consider this a shout out/reminder to any of you organising events to get all the details to us in good time (bearing in mind that while we can post details online at short notice, a monthly magazine does have lead times).

Also, some of you may be pleased to learn that from the September issue, we plan to reintroduce the temporarily suspended, due to the pandemic, Marketplace section of the mag, in which private ‘For Sale’ and ‘Wanted’ ads can be placed (see our Compass 360 news pages for further details).

For now, though, there should be plenty to keep you entertained in the pages ahead.

Enjoy your read!
