Welcome to the December 2019 edition of Model Boats Magazine which, as always, aims to dip its toe into as many aspects of our hobby as possible. It would and sometimes can, be very easy to become a little depressed this time of year following the changing of the clocks and the relentless rain that this autumn is bringing to us so far (if you’re not getting it, you are extremely lucky!). However, this is a great time of year to consolidate where you are in the hobby and to take a look in the workshop to see what projects need finishing off, or maybe starting from scratch.
Despite this month’s mag being the 76 page version, I have surprised myself how many features we have managed to cram in. This has mainly been aided by the usual, near end of year flurry of show and event reports which are proving to be popular with the readership. It’s a nice and easy way to promote model boat clubs and individuals who do not usual appear in the magazine as part of build or ‘how-to’ type article. Diary dates is understandably bereft this month but please start sending your 2020 plans to me ASAP so I can plan my own calendar for the year, which is already beginning to fill.
All the best
