New Model Farmer and Commercial Machinery World - February - March 2022

Bu konuda

It has been an interesting month with Guideline Publications looking to acquire the Farm Modeller magazine title and as we go to print, regrettably, Guideline Publications has been unable to complete the deal due to a last-minute decision of the owner of Farm Modeller magazine. It was our intention to support the readers and subscribers of Farm Modeller magazine and many of you may now be confused about the press releases that have been made on social media leading up to the publication of this issue. We are disappointed that we were unable to come to an agreement with the owner of Farm Modeller and wish Farm
Modeller magazine all the very best with their next move.
New Model Farmer magazine offers a wide range of topics and stories and we are always looking for contributions from our readers, so please get in touch if you would like to feature in the magazine, and for anyone that has submitted articles to Farm Modeller that have not been published, please get in touch. We pay for all submissions that are published in the magazine.
In this issue, we have eight pages of model news for 2022 along with a selection of model reviews of the latest releases, and soon to be available models. We begin a three-part diorama series by José Brito on the construction, painting and weathering of buildings and diorama bases and a ‘how-to’ on adding oil and grease effects to models. We have collector highlights from Trevor Garrett and Antoine Van Houtte with a report by Jaco Van Den Broek on his visit to the Hardenberg model show.

New Model Farmer and Commercial Machinery World Magazine Description:

The New Model Farmer & Commercial Machinery World is the UK's best magazine for collectors of agricultural equipment models in all scales, focusing on all age groups from kids to serious adult collectors.

Each issue keeps the reader up to date on releases and announcements from the various model manufacturers and kit producers, both for agricultural and construction related themes and actively welcomes our readers to contribute stories about their collection, or specific projects that they have undertaken. Filled with diecast model reviews, giving the lowdown on the latest replicas to hit the market along with show reports from the UK and Europe covering some of the biggest and most recognised events.

Plastic model kits will be featured in the magazine, with “In the Box” articles showing the contents of each kit before model building experts take over to highlight their build and painting techniques. Conversions and modifications to existing models will give a taste of the skills of hobbyists to create that one-off exclusive model with “How To” tutorials covering various weathering approaches. Find out about other collectors and their collecting habits with the “Collector Profile” stories providing interesting insights into the mind of a collector.

There is a growing range of remote-control models being produced, both from model manufacturers and custom builders so we will endeavour to look into what is currently available along with reports on converting static models into remote control vehicles.
