Valley Axe Man Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Who's running this one then? Theres a lot of us still waiting on re-imbursment for subs paid on the defunct and dried up Model Farmer Mag 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) A lad called James Martin, and then Harry Bell. I keep getting asked to contribute, but from what I can see they've literally taken the model farmer format, right down to the fonts and layout, without actually buying the rights? Maybe Andy knows more. Edited August 27, 2020 by Stabliofarmer 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 as far as i knew no one bought the actual mag of andy, so i guess its a fully new venture??? agree it does look a very very close match to the old mags front cover style wise, which is quite a bit of praise i guess to the old one, and it is a common style, classic tractor is similar, as are a few other mag covers if you look , personally i give it maybe a year or two tops, as i said with the old model farmer when it closed , it was spot on at first, the web was smallish for stuff like this, and faceslap wasn't big really , but the internet took over, and less and less people bought it, you see that in mags like the train guys one, less and less are on the shelfs in WH smiths or your local newsagent , this ones a big risk trying it out now , given numbers required for the printers to even consider doing a run ,which is fairly high , i really hope he gets the numbers . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Same here Sean, i hope it could be a success also. Personally, i always enjoyed Model Farmer and was sad to see it go, although i completely understand why it did. Apart from the forum, i have no interest or desire to become involved with Facebook and social media in general, and e books and magazines again do not appeal, for me you can't beat picking up a book or magazine and flicking through it, but no doubt I'm in the minority now. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33 DA17ON Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I've seen this on fb I think it would be a good mag but thinking now and like said on previous post you just search the Internet these days. It is a little old school. But reading a mag on a night insted of sitting looking at your phone or ipad. Would be better. I suppose you can only wish the guy luck.hope it turns out OK for the efforts he's putting in. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I liked Model Farmer when it first came out, I thought the design was amongst the best I'd seen in a magazine. I wasnt so keen on the design later and some of the photos were quite dark etc. Hopefully this new one will be a success though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I welcome this. As said above...its nice to read off a mag rather than a screen all the time. I also miss the Model Farmer Mag even tough it was hard to find. Subscribing can be a gamble. So I just picked it up off the shelf. Only thing is I hope as this new mag progresses , it thickens up abit in the pages..40 to 50 pages is only a leaflet in my view and not worth €7.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger82 Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 It's going to be hard times for this magazine with all that going on in the world and no shows on . But still nice to see someone take it over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still hold complete ownership on the original magazine so this new venture is nothing to do with us. All rights to design, theme and style are retained in our IP so hopefully the final product is freshened up to a new look away from our work and designs. That said, it's good something new is being planned, especially within the current climate of niche title publishing that inevitably put an end to Model Farmer's print runs. Just an update that we were approached at an 11th hour prior to closing the business from a reputable publisher interested in MF hence the lack of updates. We're hoping this last chance saloon really comes to fruition but if it doesn't we'll be acting on the previously published info about writing to anyone with any outstanding subs etc. Either way, it will be all cleared up by the year end. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger82 Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 I seen this on Facebook Our editor Steven Downes is making some great progress on Vol1 issue 1 out February 11th Have you ordered your subscription yet! www.modelfarmer.com 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.

phil phoenix Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) Britains john deeres tend to be two tone green due to a metal chassis and plastic hood..................Sikus 8360R was mostly decent as it was mostly metal. Im hoping this new 8R will be similar or better. Edited April 13, 2021 by phil phoenix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
