It's not felt to be economic at the moment. Take out a subscription and in 5 year's time you'll have lots of back issues of your own!

And then you will have all the wonderful and out-of date adverts to stow. Not to mention the articles that you haven't the slightest interest in. And then you have to cope with the various changes of format of the magazine. Over the years "Model Boats" has gone through more changes than any political party you can name. At least "Model Shipwright" has kept to its original size, which if nothing else makes the bookshelf look neat.
The other "gripe" i have with "Model Boats" is that the placement of articles is so random. I have no idea who thought that going forward 15 pages and then back 6 would be a good idea. Cohesiviness would be a good start. But at least it has colour.
As a long term contributor to MSW I was appalled to get a letter stating that the journal was, in the future, to be an annual publication. What earthly use is that! Model Shipbuilders are by their very nature quite "solitary" but need gee-ing up now and again just to keep the momentum going. Once a year? I don't think so. Subs cancelled. BY.
