I just recieved my November issue of Finescale modeler. I was looking at it and there is a MRC flyer glued to page 39. The glue they used to hold the flyer in place seeped through the page and stained page 40. I wish they would’nt use glue. I would like to know if this upsets any one else in this forum.
What upsets me is that you got your issue before I got mine!! LOL!!

Heck, with all the glue and paint and thinner (and ocassional peanut butter and jelly) that I spill on mine, a little flyer glue doesn’t even get my attention!
I’m just looking at mine this morning. (forgot to get the mail yesterday, to busy modeling) What impressed me was Mr.Hansen T-34 weekend project. I may have to build one, because if a wing-head could build something that nice SOB in about 15 hrs. I could make somthing just as nice with alot of aftermarket and stuff about 3-6 months to do it in.
looks good Lawrence.
November issue of FS? Mail must be slow to the West Coast! Oh yeah…have to feed the ponies!

I also have the bleed through from the MRC flyer. I posted something about it in the Feedback forum.
Mr Hansen,
I too am very impressed with your T-34 weekend project. Looks like a winner [;)]
Are you also going to do weekenders for aircraft and ships and such?
hey guys[:)]
don’t want to make anyone feel bad here but i live in london and i got mine last thursday…[:p]
t-34 did look pretty cool for a weekend build i must admit![8D]
regards,
nick
MY issue must be coming pony express, I still don’t have it. Ohh, that’s right…we do have pony express out were I live [:p] [:D]

I haven’t gotten mine yet either! [:(] Now I’m gonna’ have to hurry home at lunch, and there goes my eating time!! LOL
I don’t like the glue idea either, I like to keep my mags (no matter the type) looking as nice as possible.

I usually get mine a month or so after publishing!
My mom (the woman’s a saint!) graciously mails 'em to me.
Does FSM mail worldwide? I’ll ask Lawrence!
I’m sure they do, Brian, but you’ll pay through the nose for mailing, and you won’t have it any sooner. Possibly much later, if they send it book rate.
Bill
jhulk hi
i get it here in the UK, and the mailing cost is ok…pretty quick too by the sound of things![8D]

Wah! I haven’t got mine either and I also live on the West Coast. My LHS had some. The thing about the magazine that bugs me is you open it and dozens of subscription forms fall out. [V]

Hey, that was pretty cute, wasn’t it? I think that’s the best way sometimes – rather than fretting overmuch about every little detail, just do it.
And it actually looks like a Russian tank. I think the result of some very artful buildups are models that are very interesting looking, and are very obviously the result of meticulous care and expertise, but frankly, sometimes don’t look all that much like real tanks, which often have a fairly simple, semi-gloss appearance to their paintjob, even after they’ve been running around in the field for a while.
Puts me in the mind of the Little Orange Guy Syndrome – the fact that so many modelers paint their military figures orange for some reason. People who don’t paint them orange get frowned on by the establishment. People aren’t orange, by and large, but in the community it seems to be the accepted thing to do. So the little orange guys get judged on how nicely orange they are, how realistically orange, etc., while all the time they are, well, orange guys.
Wah,Wah,Wah!! The mail hadn’t come by the time I came back from lunch! (At least I got to eat! LOL) I saw some issues last Saturday at the hobby shop. Did they include the sample microbrush pack in the mailed out issue, or are they just in the over the counter ones??

I just got mine ina few days ago, same thing with the glue on the pages. I was impressed by the T-34 too. I know if I had built something that quick itd probably look like one of the kits I built in my younger years. I was actually impressed to see the article about the female modelers. Wouldnt it be nice to meet a Jeri Ryan look-alike that was single and built models!!! ok, so Im dreamin., but its nice to know theyre are chics out there who build them instead of nagging about them.
I took a look at the gooey glue last night and the only thing that bugged me was that once I got the ad out, there were no tanks! Only ships and aircraft… tossed that one on the floor. [;)] Anyhoo, the glue stripps were nice and rubbery, so I could snap the cat in the butt as I read the magazine. Added to the fun.
Hope my daughter doesn’t read this (it’s her cat)![:0]
Ron.
LOL, Poniatowski. A man after my own heart - I used the glue as a rubber ball.
I also got bleed through.
YEA! Mine was finally at the house last night when I got home. But boo, it wasn’t in a plastic bag and didn’t have the microbrush sample with it!
Bill
I got my Nov. 03 FSM yesterday also. The glued flyer was a pain-I ripped the page getting it out. I handed the wadded up glue residue to my wife and told her it was nasal discharge (gross I know). She told me I needed another hobby. I didn’t think about snapping the dog with it-cool!! Maybe next time.
