"Following a very pleasant gathering at Ron Dean’s establishment in mid-December, I was left heartened that the magazine, on the surface at least, appears to be doing quite well. One thing I was encouraged by was the amount of people who excitedly showed me pictures of the magazine in digital form, which for subscribers arrives before the hard copy and before the general public get a chance to whip it off the shelves. It was nice to see and I gathered good evidence that many of the subscribers like to have the option of both the old and new methods of viewing the magazine. I was also enthused by the amount of people who wanted to chat about ideas for articles and those who have already committed, returning to come up with other options and scenarios; I left with a reasonably sized box under my arm (HMS Mimi build to be completed before I meet them all again!) and a good feeling that all was well.
However, I’m long enough in the tooth to know never to take things for granted and I am certainly grateful that I’m still at the helm of this great old magazine in 2020 and you’ll be pleased to know (well some of you at least), that I have no intention of giving it up just yet. "

Excellent magazine Reviewed 27 October 2020

Model Boats

I started reading Model Boats in 1963, the whole scene has changed dramatically in those intervening years and sadly it seems that it is mostly older people who read the mag and keep the hobby alive, I have returned to the hobby after nearly 30 years away, the guidance offered in the magazine is most helpful Reviewed 30 March 2020

Model Boats

What can I say? By far the best modelling magazine ever. I started with Model Maker April 1956! Reviewed 13 February 2020
