toyboy Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 received mine yesterday not over the moon at the contents but it's a start. very much concentrating on older models nothing really on new releases or up and coming models. hope it improves! this is maybe just my opinion as my favourite items are the newer more detailed models. i see garret has some pictures of his sheds in it, looking good, nice to see someone from the forum contributing.

NIGEL FORD Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 lots of spelling errors & wrong captions to pictures & why waste a page repeating a full page ad? Where are all the other articles in hand from the usual contributors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenryk Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Mine arrived today. I regret to say that initial impression is not too good, thin and plenty of space on pages. I will want to see it approach past standards if I am to renew my subscription. A sad day. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Not got mine yet but if it is as poor as you make out I won't be too bothered, if in two more issues its the same then I will be concerned and give thought to the renewal of my subsription...... it will take time for this mag to come back together as it was or better and it is the only one that focuses on my hobby so..........

fenryk Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Same thoughts as me. I'll give it a few issues until my subscription runs out and then decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 i think i will decide after my next 2 issues i have left, if it stays poor then leave it for a while, see if it improves from the other members that still have issues left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gromittigger Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 :D - I've just petrol bombed his house Brian Really a 1/4 page ??? It does make you smile when you read the article below it - discussing the forthcoming auction in Sussex on Mon 20th November! He does appologise for the delay and asks for any feedback or article that may interest readers - I hope this will lead to good interation from the FTF members as most of his readers are on here and you all have great collections, conversions and businesses that people would like to know more about.

Psycho Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I havent got mine yet but as Jason said its the only magazine that focuses on our hobby so I am happy to have a mediocre magazine as its better than no magazine! However theres no excuse for not contacting the previous contributers and the editor should listen to feedback from the subscribers and aim to improve the quality and quantity going forward. We just need to inform him of what we like to see as far as content goes and hopefully it will only improve - the last editor had the content spot on I feel..even though Im not really into contstruction models it was still interesting to read about them. My favourite articles were the ones by Martyn Reeve where he focussed on a particular make and discussed the various models made by the different manufacturers. Warner Halls' articles on his prototypes also made fascinating reading. Phew....my longest post ever!! Aidan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
