IPMS (UK) Members' Magazine ~ Issue 1/2008

Welcome to Issue 1/2008 of the IPMS (UK) Magazine.

In this issue ...

RMS Mauritania - How Jim Bauman built the SMW 2007 Best of Show model and a history of the real thing.

SMW 2007 Reports and Results ... It just keeps on getting better.

Trumpeter 2007 Results ... Who's going to China?

USAF SIG Display ... Haydn Hughes tells the story of how the impressive 60th Anniversary display came together.

... and of course all the usual IPMS (UK) business including News, Reviews and Events.

Have you built a model you're really proud of? ... Would you like to see your model featured in the magazine? ... Would you like to get paid for your efforts? ... If the answer to any of those questions is 'YES', the Editor would like to hear from you.

The Society requires well written build articles for the magazine. We want to hear from you if you've built something interesting or different, especially subjects which are not aircraft related, although we need those too. We also want to hear from you if you've been researching a subject and you think that the membership would benefit from reading about it.

Each article is paid for at a rate of £10.00 per printed page, including photographs, not a fortune by todays standards but this is your magazine, put together by modellers' for modellers'. Your article should be approximately 2000 words long, well written, ideally double spaced and spell checked, and the photographs (ideally copied onto a CD in their original un-worked format), should be in focus, reasonably well lit and taken on a plain background, (no dodgy patterns or weird colours please). If you're spelling is atrocious and you think you may need the assistance of someone putting the article together, we still want to hear from you, that's what the spell checker is for (eh! Chris?).

So what are you waiting for? ... If you require any further information about submissions, contact the Editor, John Tapsell.

Submission deadlines for the next 6 issues of the IPMS (UK) Magazine are as follows;

Issue 02 / 08: ~ February 20th 2008

Issue 03 / 08: ~ April 20th 2008

Issue 04 / 08: ~ June 20th 2008
