Model Boats  |  July 2019
"Here we have the July issue of Model Boats Magazine, implying that summer has already arrived even though we are firmly planted in spring. We do actually have four seasons, but a lot of people these days only bang on about two! It’s been a good spring so far for sailing, my ASRL has been doing the rounds and an entry level Helion 65cm yacht supplied for review, has also been making an appearance at Wilton Park and Boston MBC.
In the mag this month, I have re-introduced and modified Reader’s Models from a feature on one man and his boat to an all-comers welcome. I know how many get a thrill from seeing their models in print and, unlike social media, it’s not here today gone in a few minutes’ time! I still think there is more kudos (even in 2019) in being published in a hard-copy document rather than uploading your efforts to one of the many online forums just for it to be quickly out-done by another instant-adulation hunting poster. In the meantime, keep the material coming; everything that floats is most welcome, military or civilian, old or new, fictional or historical, basic or technical, wind or petrol-powered and everything in between!
