RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted July 17, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2017 Maybe they should be like the Beatles, and have a White issue. No complaints of typos on the cover then! For the sake of decency, a brown paper bag should be supplied. Easier to get into the house. Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharris Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I just noticed 4 old ones in Wimbledon WHS. Aren't we allowed new ones until the old ones are all gone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwinian Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Yesss! Something for us South Wales modellers, even if it is from that lot over in the next valley. Looking forward to mine dropping in the post bin even more now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRat Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Nothing there that piques my interest, unfortunately, so for the second issue in a row I'll be giving it a miss - that's never happened before! Ever thought about doing a few articles yourself? You must have a huge amount of stuff you could write about. I'm sure the Editor would be more than happy, every mag relies on its contributors, I'm sure the MRJ is no different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndon Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Having managed to get my hands on a full set, there are any number of issues that, from a read of the contents alone, appear to have nothing for me at all and yet, almost without exception, at least one article in every issue has had something I found useful...

Porcy Mane Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 "When a man is tired of MRJ, he is tired of life." I have heard it said, "when a man is tired of his wife, he turns to MRJ". (No it wasn't I that said it.) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 2mmMark Posted July 19, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2017 My sub copy arrived today and I have to say I'm really annoyed. Not a single article on modelling the Armchair & Much Moaning Light Railway in Scalethirteen using sticky-back plastic and bogroll tube. How is a chap supposed to find inspiration when his pet subject is wilfully ignored, month after month? I don't pay my licence fee for the likes of this. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted July 19, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2017 Oh, how I would look forward to monthly side-splitting humour and pithy, useful observations. Unfortunately these days all we that seem to get on some threads is froth, endless speculation, uninformed opinion, veiled rudeness etc..etc.. A while back l started a thread on modelling Inspiration only to get admonished by some chap who questioned the posting of my snaps and l slightly wandered off topic on another only to be told off by some self appointed moderator. This site always has been an amazing source of information, help, eye candy etc.. If one has got a question of the most basic nature to the complicated, somebody on here can usually help.

RMweb Gold Zero Gravitas Posted July 19, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2017 Oh, how I would look forward to monthly side-splitting humour and pithy, useful observations. Well, we did try splitting it out into two threads - one for those who liked the side-splitting humour and pithy, useful observations; and one for those who preferred only discussion of the actual contents; but the great and the good didn't seem terribly keen on that. So we're back where we started... In the immortal words of Sheldon Cooper: "I informed you thusly". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killybegs Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 My copy arrived in Donegal today. It looks like a good read but I can't find any connection between the cover photograph and any of the articles, nor any reference to it within the magazine. Perhaps I am not looking hard enough.
