Help with the magazine


This month we have received a message from Ralf, our ship editor, that he can no longer act as the magazines ship editor, We are now looking for a new editor to take over Ralf's position. This seems to be one of the big problems that I am having with running of the magazine. Getting people who are willing to help me in the publication of this magazine. It is just to much for one person to attempt to publish a magazine of this type. The reason being the extent of the models that are covered in our hobby.

Card modeling includes the building of almost every kind of model that you can think off. No one can be qualified to build or review all of the different types of models that are out there. I myself am a builder of primarily aircraft and some ships. I have never built any other type of card model and have problems in reviewing other types of models. That is why I have added the editor positions to the magazine. We have editor positions that cover aircraft, ships, vehicles and buildings. Without these people to help me in putting together the reviews of these types of models, there is no way I could get this publication out.

It must be remembered that all the people who work on this magazine are not professionals and most have full time jobs. They all do this work for the love of their hobby and receive no pay for the work that they do. We owe them all a great deal of thanks for putting forth the effort that makes a magazine like this possible.

Without them there would be no magazine. Without you there would be no magazine. This is an amateur publications that is put out by card modelers for card modelers and not by a professional publication company. This means that we need your help to keep the magazine going. Without your reviews and articles there would be nothing to put in the magazine. Without you reading the magazine there would be no reason for the publication. Without you supporting our sell page there would be no models to review.

We still need additional help. Your support in reading the magazine and purchasing models from the sell page has been out standing. Submissions of articles and reviews have been excellent. Where he are in need of the additional help is in the editorial staff. We need people who are willing to contact model builders and ask them to submit reviews of there models to be published in the magazine. We need people to format the reviews so that they are ready to be published. If you have HTML skills that is a plus, if not we can format the reviews into HTML for you. What we need is people to beat the bushes and contact modelers to get them to submit reviews for the magazine.

If you do not see your favorite kind of models being reviewed it is because we do not have an editor in that area of card modeling. remember this is your magazine and what you see is what you put into the magazine. Give some thought to giving us a hand in the publication, you can have input to make the magazine what you want it to be.

If you would consider being an editor for this magazine contact me at saulj@teuton.org.
