The new issue is now on the shelves.  Contents:

Trees on a budget - Nigel Burkin delves into the undergrowth of Woodlands Scenics

 

Inside Job - Mike Wild lights a 2-BIL

I did not spot the last two articles on first reading.  This is what happens when you sprinkle ads all among the text - a practice best avoided IMHO.

Bit surprised to find you have to pay for the Scalescenes bridge to complete the Build-It layout, as IIRC all the previous downloads have been free...

 

Still a good mag IMO; and to my eyes the pictures don't have the obvious photoshoppery of other mags so seem that much clearer.
