Chaps, i work in publishing, but i have a few friends who run there own mags online, the thing is do you think there would be any interest in a modified model magazine? its something i have been thinking about for a while, i would like to offer it as free monthly or bi monthly magazine, where the advertising will pay for the cost of the production and ongoing running. i have people who write features and they could really do some great stuff, i work on the repro side so i could do all the pages and a friend of mine can design it plus i could also do the photography.

I don't want to make money out of it, its more of a hobby really, now i know the cost of to set it up and have got a few online magazine hosts giving me prices.

So guys would this be something you may be interested in? it will be free too.

cheers

To be honest Chaps it could be! would be a nice addition to the forum. i thought about a monthly feature on how to's, etc etc, mad model collections (roadstermatt lol) and just modified model features, new releases, what looks good and what doesn't, painting techniques. Plus i don't think there is one out there that caters for modified models.

i couldnt agree more mate , think it needs to be done tbh
and calling it model motorvation will also broaden the mm brand and anyone that knows of the forum/facebook or ebay pages will instantly reconise it as part of the mm family
please let me know if there is any costs involved as i am sure me and dave would be happy to help out if there is
also dave's dad is also in magazine design!!

Yeah i would like to do a printed mag, but that would cost in excess of 10 large to set up, plus the countless months trying to get ad revenue in, a online mag to start with but never say never it if it got large enough and had enough subscribers and good advertisers and i could charge enough for advertiseing then it could be a printed mag, i already have a printer onside so i know i could get it printed if i had the investment.

i agree :THUMBS:

being a fan of mags espically one called "TOTAL VAUXHALL" a mag would be class.
though if it was at a charge id rather have a printed mag so i can read it in work and other places :LAUGHING:
