Welcome to the September edition of Model Boats magazine which you may have noticed by now is doing its very best to cover all genres of this incredibly diverse and often complex hobby. I’m still trying to gauge where this hobby is at the moment; because of its broad spectrum of subjects, some aspects seem to be on the decline, while others are thriving and, in the middle, are the subjects that go in and out of fashion just to keep us on our toes. While the key, from our point of view, is to gain as many new readers as possible to keep this old magazine going, we would not be here at all if it was not for the small army of manufacturers who provide the products in all shapes and forms that keep us busy in the workshop or sailing down the pond. Unless you have a talent for bagging your raw materials or even models for free, you have no choice but to support these guys and girls. My only advice is, please support the manufacturers big and small, support your clubs, support each other and support your magazine – it can all disappear in a heartbeat!
All the best
