Administrators SteveCole Posted June 27, 2014 Administrators Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hi all, We have something a little different for you this month. You’ll be able to buy BRM’s August issue as normal (still only £3.75) and it comes with a stunning 16-page ‘Layout of a Lifetime’ supplement featuring Monk’s Bay. And, as always, this issue will be available to download as a Digital Edition from just £2.49 an issue. But, we’re also offering a special Bumper Pack version, priced at just £4.99. You get the same great magazine, free supplement plus an exclusive 45-minute BRM TV DVD. The DVD has been designed to complement the magazine. For example, Monk’s Bay appears in the Layout of a Lifetime supplement and is on the DVD! Phil Parker reveals how to build a beer festival diorama in the magazine and on the DVD he offers a step-by-step guide to static grass. The DVD also features Tony Wright reviewing Hornby’s P2, plus Howard Smith does a Tried and Tested on the new Train-Tech Sound Chip. And, if that wasn’t enough we’ve also raided the BRM video archive and included the awesome Glendower ‘layout in a basement’! The Bumper Pack will only be available from WHSmith outlets with a limited supply (so be quick!) and will sit alongside the normal issues of BRM. So, if you don’t want to pay £4.99 for the Bumper Pack, you can still buy BRM at £3.75. You have the choice… As for the Digital Edition, the same principle applies. We’ll upload two versions: 1. BRM + supplement priced from £2.49 2. BRM + supplement + video priced at £3.99 We’ll be uploading a magazine contents list on Monday, together with a 1-minute promotional DVD trailer. The Digital Editions go live on Friday, July 4th. The print versions go on-sale in shops on Thursday, July 10th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted June 27, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 27, 2014 One can but hope that for this one our local branch of WHS put it with the railway/model railway titles instead of the cars/motor vehicles stuff on the shelf above, i had a right job finding the July issue.

Administrators SteveCole Posted June 30, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted June 30, 2014 Subscribers - whether print or digital - get the magazine plus 16-page Layout of the Lifetime mini-magazine. The DVD/video is only available with the higher priced Bumper Pack which is sold separately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that's a mistake Steve IMHO, I'll not be spending another 4 quid to get the vid, but might have been tempted to an add-on extra at a lower price (£1.50?) EDIT: I seem to be still getting "Agree" ratings for this old post. Might I suggest that folks read my later post and Andy's reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators SteveCole Posted June 30, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted June 30, 2014 Here's a short video that shows high pressure, water jet technology being used to cut baseboards.

-missy- Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hello Please dont think I am being awkward or anything but I wouldnt think water jetting wood is a wise idea?

westerner Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Once again those of us who like to support our local shop will miss out. To get to my local Smiths will involve about a gallon of Diesel, so upping the price of the bumper edition by some £6.00 +. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators SteveCole Posted July 1, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted July 1, 2014 Once again those of us who like to support our local shop will miss out. To get to my local Smiths will involve about a gallon of Diesel, so upping the price of the bumper edition by some £6.00 +. Apologies, but it just isn't viable to offer a Bumper Pack like this in all stores. If it was, we'd do it. We do, however, have some exciting plans for the near future that will encompass ALL copies of BRM. As soon as details are confirmed, I'll reveal more.

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted July 1, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2014 Thinking about this a little more it may be that the tech does not allow (at the moment) to allow subscribers to access the dvd separately. I can see why Steve wants to make it so that the casual buyer has to buy the mag to get the DVD just like buying the hard copy from Smiffs. Maybe we should see what develops over the next few months?

I have always thought water and wood do not mix, especially MDF. Laser cutting on the other hand... Julia. Hi Julia, If it didn't work, or was detrimental to the wood/MDF, they wouldn't do it! It works really well and is a good way to avoid the harmful dust created when cutting MDF the old-fashioned way. Ben Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
