IPMS (UK) Members' Magazine ~ Issue 1/2010

Welcome to Issue 1/2010 of the IPMS (UK) Magazine.

In this issue ...

Scale Modelworld 2009 - 20 page Special ... Who won what?

Best of Show ...
The worthy winners for 2009 were Akos Szabo and Petr Nemec, take a close look at their models.

Best of the Rest ...
Choosing the Best of Show is never an easy job for the judges. Here's the reason why - the Category winners.

From Start to Finish ...
SMW doesn't just happen, an army of volunteers decend on the TIC on the Friday before the show,
Nick Allen gives an idea of just what's involved.

Batus Ferret ...
Just enough space left for John Tapsell to show us an interesting Ferret.

Annual General Meeting Motions and Resolutions ...

... and of course all the usual IPMS (UK) business including News 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 today's 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 your 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;
