westie7 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 An observation.... some errors have crept in to this mag. Jon The E-version is littered with errors in the page headers too, wonder if its just mine or if anyone else has that too As for the "Bookazine"... I know me and others have been onto RE to do a compendium of Retrospectrums and Modellers Guides that have appeared over the years. Will be interesting to see what is in this and how it comes out as the back issue list is getting thinner and thinner Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold griffgriff Posted November 26, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 26, 2011 I've kept a file of all the 'Retrospectrums' (as well as all the other interesting bits) because they are so useful...particularly the livery dates etc. I do find however that this has been more difficult since RE went 'supersized'... sometimes it's very difficult to trim the magazine to fit into a pouch without losing text. Thus I'm sure the book will be a very welcome addition to my bookshelf. PS My cynical self wonders if the 'supersizing' was to deter people from keeping the articles leaving the way open for a book Surely not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that your cynical self needs to chill out a bit. I never understood why the super-size issues weren't more popular: I really liked them, but this seems to have been a bit of a minority view Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochnagar Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 One area that disapointed was the lovely selection of photos of Alex Carpenter's Red Stripe locos... the title text suggested that here he described some weathering projects... which I mistook for an explanation of how the results were achieved ... which it didn't. The blue paint showing through on the 47 looked great... wish we could get an explanation... a "how to" sometime?!? Otherwise... as I've already said... a good read, again. Still nice print reproduction on good quality paper too... which maked it stand out, IMHO. Jon Hi Jon, Yes I'll do something on here explaining the techniques used on 47322 for you I'll be doing some 'how to' weathering articles at some point in REM. Cheers, Alex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
