i have written to mr. hansen and asked him about putting together a shirt with the fsm logo and member names. i think that if fsm does this and offers it to the members of the forum it might be acceptable to both the members and fsm. would you purchase one? i would.
joe
i like the idea, but right now, il be fine with tshirthell.com
All 30,000 names. LOL Yeah , I know what ya mean. There was a plan for an armor forum shirt, looks like it died for now.
Sure would make it easy to find members at shows-huh?
I would definately pick one up!!! Maybe two or three!!! Great idea!!!
It would be great advertising for FSM. They could put the web address on it.[;)]
but not everyone wants to know you build models… because they are “toys” for “little boy’s”
I voted ‘yes’ just to keep the ball rolling, but I would be more likely to buy a golf style or polo style shirt than a tee shirt. I usually only wear old tee shirts when I’m puttering around the house and I’ve got plenty of them already.

Just like I would Buy the dark side shirt i would also buy this one.
I want one (or ten!)
Me to especailly if we can have Ausf’s Camel design on the back LOL!
large size please i only wiegh 160lbs i like my shirts baggy
Sounds pretty cool. A tee would be nice as would a polo.
Interesting idea. Keep this poll going. If there’s enough interest, I’ll try pitching the idea to The Powers That Be.
thanks for the responses everyone. keep them coming.
joe
Count me in! I like the idea of a Polo shirt. Actually, it would be nice to choose from a variety, such as basic T-shirt, long sleeve T, Polo, etc.
Or is that stretching things a bit far?
Anyway, great idea!

I like the idea, but still feel unconvinced as to FSM’s loyalty to ttheir overseas customers. If we cannot take part in the sweepstakes, why should we buy a tee-shirt? Afterall, there’s no guareentee they’d even be able to work out how to post it to us in the EU ( and beyond).
And they did wimp out of the CD to Model By idea I floated ( and others supported). I mean, the newspapers overhere give a free cd in their weekend supplements from time to time. And if there are truely 30,000 members on this board and subscribing, then what’s the problem?
Copyright? The proceeds of the disc go to charity, military or whatever as a thank you. Or to a restoration project. Emphaise that point and who knows who’d let you use their music. But you’ll never know until you ask, and no-one at FSM is willing to do that.
Again, why would us modelers in Europe want a Tee-Shirt and give more money to an organisation that excludes us from their competitions?
So my vote is a kind of “kinda”. But need convincing.

I would definately be willing to buy some shirts. I think that this is a great idea!! It’s a load of advertising for the forum and the magazine. Count me in.
We get the magazines to Europe; we can probably get t-shirts there, too.
As they do here. But the Chicago Tribune sells more copies of one Sunday edition than we sell of FineScale in a year. We’re talking entirely different economies of scale, mass-market vs. special-interest publishing.
We’ve covered this issue pretty throughly a few months ago. A music CD is not going to happen. We don’t have the staff resources to put something like that together. Our expertise is publishing magazines and books; the music business is way outside our bailiwick.
On the other hand, if there’s enough interest out there, a FineScale.com t-shirt may be a different story. Keep voting!
It’s a great idea. Frankly I was a little surprised by the LACK of a t-shirt or some other kind of merchandise availability.
Count me in. It does not even need to have names, just some sort of acknowledgement of the forums. It would be even better if there were different T’s for different forums[:D], but that is probably too much to ask for.[V]
