didn’t like the damaged issue and what do they do waste time and put in Febuary issue!
must of needed a filler? I liked the old days when i could go to my favoriate hobby store check out the next issue, now they are closed so now have subscrition so have to take good with bad[:(((]
???
And how is this complaint related to Armor???
Mike, is that you?
nope
they always have stuff other than armor, who cares about space junk?
It’s not an armor modeling magazine. Get over it. Too bad about your local store being closed, but maybe FSM is not for you. Check out some of the European mags that might be more to your taste. Although they have generally become all pictures, and little text or actual information.
I do, I build armor,aircraft, ships and star wars. There was just someone the other day talking about no auto related stuff in FSM. Even though they have a entire separate magazine dedicated to just auto. I’m happy to see more sci fi related articles and hope to see more.
Wow… you’re grumpy when it’s close to ringing in the New Year.
As someone has already mentioned, FSM isn’t catered to just armour. They also feature aircrafts, space / sci-fi stuff, figures, etc…
If that’s not good enough for you, cancel your subscription and get over it.
Was the OP referring to the AK publication Damaged?
Ditto 214.
i think he was referring to the FSM special issue “Damaged” that was being hawked on here not too long ago…
Hey everyone, cool heads! Let’s not end the year on a sour note! To the OP, yes do check out other pubs that cater to your specific area of interest. FSM is a broad spectrum mag. They also have a dedicated auto publication. Tamiya‘s mag branched out to specific aircraft and armor pubs too. There’s a lot to choose from out there.
Personally, I bought the original “Damaged” mag, and I liked it, especially the forklift and Mad Max’s car. My only criticism is that like a lot of European model mags, it’s mostly pretty photos and sparse “how it is done” step by steps.
I bought my first Fine Scale Modeler magazine because it had a photo of a Star Trek ship the USS Grissom on the cover. I already had a military modeling magazine.
plan on not renewing it cost going up.
been a bad year.
Just got a subscription offer advertisement from FSM in the mail today. Went straight in the recycle bin. $30 for a year subscription? Yeah right… If you offered it at $15 or even $20 for the year, I’d consider it.
Same here… Just too much for 10 issues…
This thread is a waste of electrons.
I got one as well, but I recall getting a handful of them last year for a lot less, probably after 3-4 notices.
I’m actually a bit surprised at the complaints of the cost. $30 for 10 issues is pretty good in my opinion. $3 per issue. Barely more than a cup of coffee or about the same price as a weekend newspaper. And it’s somethin you can collect and refer back to, etc.
To each their own I guess, everyone’s idea of value is different I suppose.
Keep in mind though, Finescale has to make SOME money. They can’t just give it away. Also, print media is taking a HUGE hit and magazines are folding left and right. Major magazines too, not just niche ones. We should feel lucky that FSM is still around in this day and age.
