Model Boats Warships Special 2014

[Colin BishopModerator @colinbishop34627]

This bumper 132 page Bookazine brings together a selection of practical articles on model warship construction plus specially commissioned items including a free plan of a semi scale WW2 war built emergency class destroyer, HMS Temerity from Glynn Guest. A number of Glynn's older designs (notably including his re introduced HMS Lagos) are also featured together with other build articles which will be of particular interest to the beginner and moderately experienced modeller. The issue is rounded off with supporting articles on naval subjects and deserves a place on the bookshelf of any modeller with a special interest in warships or who would like to get started in this popular branch of model boating.

Details of the cover and contents can be found by clicking on the article column on the Website Home Page.

Model Boats Warships will be available in most large branches of W.H. Smith from 23rd May or can be ordered directly from MyTimeMedia **LINK** price £6.99.

Is this WH Smith only or will Tesco have it ?.

[Paul FreshneyParticipant @paulfreshney24971]

it is only in WHS as I understand it – being part of a 'specials' exclusive deal with that retailer.

Bad timing,

I see Glynn has a working model LCT6 in the issue, shame it was not a teeny bit earlier for all those D-day events being held….

"Bookazine"?? Which genius coined that word? I'd bet my lunch he/she is American. There seems to be plenty of bookazines around on Google – I've obviously been lucky enough to avoid the term until now.
Horrible.
I shall file it along with "makeover" and "staycation" under "Only to be used sarcastically". I'm sure the publication will be far better than its generic description.

Such is 'progress' Dave. If you go into WHS these days there's often a whole section devoted to these publications.

Correction re availability:

I'm now informed that the Issue is on promotion for 3 weeks in Tesco in selected stores, WHS High Street UK, Easons (WHS Ireland), and local newsagents.

I received my copy yesterday and I am thoroughly enjoying the read – obviously dedicated to us warship nuts and those who especially like Glynn Guest's style of building.

One bug – I wish they had included a free plan for HMS Lagos – one of them on my build list

aye

I Can Confirm our Large Tesco's are selling them. On better display than WHS's normal display, and for me anyway much easier to visit the store…

Got the magazine the other day , treated my self to 2 new servos and 3 magazines servos cost more than i wanted to pay £13.50 each for a Futaba S3001 ,too much ???? i got them from Antics in Cardiff ,i plan to use one in my Bismark and the other in my Leander just waiting to see if i can get a WASP helicopter ,the lynx kit is way to expensive .

I always price up servos here first **LINK**

I think you paid a little more than you needed to.

This special issue is proving to be very popular, concentrating as it does on Warships which are probably the most popular section of scale model boating.

This Special Issue is proving to be very popular and if your local newsagent have none in stock then you can order your copy direct: http://www.myhobbystore.co.uk/product/215974/-model-boat-warships
