It is every editor’s dream to keep all of his/her readership happy, but funnily enough, this is a near impossible task. However, I shall never be accused of not trying and so far, I have spoken either in person or e-mailed at least one, if not many more, to write articles on every specific subject within the world of model boating. Now I know that is a big ask, but I do know that there are a lot of you out there and a number of you are not seeing what ‘floats your boat’!
This month we have three part works, the popular Whaleback, Barry’s Warrior and Dave Wooley’s amazing Soobrazitelnyy build. Also, the 100th instalment of Richard Simpson’s Boiler Room, another new contributor (I have space for many more!) and the usual array of show and event reports; hopefully a little something for the majority of you. Last month I was lucky enough to escape the office again to meet Barry Lalonde in St Neots, where the weather was kind and after a few attempts the cover shot was bagged. All being well, as we all come out of hibernation, I will be cropping up at a lot more events than I did last year, maybe even with a boat of my own – take cover!
All the best
