As many of you will be aware, I am currently acting as Editor of the
Model Boats magazine website. Martin has kindly given permission for me to draw attention to items on that site which may be of interest to Mayhem members so I will be providing occasional updates on this Topic.
As those of you who have visited it will already know, the
Model Boats site is not just a Forum but exists to generally support the magazine and to encourage people to take out subscriptions. It also has links to advertisers and to the MyHobbyStore online shop which has recently greatly expanded the range of items on sale.
You will find a lot of useful information already on the site and we will be adding to this over then next few months. Of particular interest is the searchable Article Database which contains a selection of articles previously published in the magazine and which offers a treasure trove of practical model boating data. Obviously we don't publish all the articles on the website otherwise people would wait for them instead of buying the magazine but there is nevertheless a lot of very useful information on tap which we hope will encourage new readers who will get everything hot off the presses! As regular readers will know, Editor Paul Freshney has increased the variety of articles appearing in individual issues so that most months there should be several items of interest to everyone.
I have today launched a
Model Boats Website Photographic Competition with plans and a hull as prizes which I think a lot of you might like to have a go at so come on over and check it out for yourself at
