Military Modelling - Volume 47, No. 9

In this issue

Welcome to Military Modelling Magazine, Volume 47, Issue 9, once again filled with a good range of subjects that should keep the bulk of you happy. Since speaking to you last month, I was fortunate to be able to visit Figureworld which is held annually in the lovely Northamptonshire town of Oundle. I only had a small amount of time there but it quickly became clear to me that the day could easily have been consumed with just talking to people. Within the space of a couple of hours, I had caught up with a few people I already knew and by the end had been introduced to two dozen more. It was really nice to be physically ‘out there’ and I know a number of you feel, like me, that the magazine should be ‘out there’ more too. Military Modelling does not at the moment have the presence that is required in a busy marketplace with regard to model shows. It worries me that a large number of people and especially those who visit the website who do not realize that there is a ‘real’ magazine behind the whole operation.
