November 2004 FineScale ~ What do you think?
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, October 14, 2004 10:40 AM
The November issue is on the newstands, so it's time for our how-did-we-do straw poll. As usual, nothing fancy, nothing scientific--just tell us from the gut which article you liked best.

If you'd like to make comments, feel free to share them below.

I liked the Me-163B-1a best. The detail lavished onto that build was outstanding. I was more than a little disappointed in the lack of Sci-Fi, maybe next issue. Overall it was a great issue.

Just one choice in the poll? Doesn't seem quite fair.

Anyway, my favorite was a toss-up between the "Fabulous FAMO" Showcase and "The Ultimate Workshop". The photos in both articles were excellent, but I dearly wish there was more text to go with them.

Hey Lawrence,

Do you think you dould put an all of the above button on these polls? The work shop article in particular had me drooling though, just nine more years till my first born moves out... hopefully Evil [}:)]. Then I can take over his bedroom and make my own workshop. Tell your team to keep up the good work.

Most of the articles are excellent this issue but those pictures of the figures from the Vityaz Studio are mind boggling. However one gripe being a F1 model fan the article on the MP4/6 doesn't do justice to the work performed by Joe Takai and fell miles short of the feature by TMMI (June/July '04) on a MP4/6.

Okay, the poll isn't working, but that's okay. I never liked having to pick just one favorite article.

So, my top favorites are:
1) Backdating the Grumman Albatross
2) Massimo Barbieri's amazing scratchbuilt Mustang
3) Easy tips: Make waves!
4) Model a battle-damaged Iraqi Freedom A-10
5) Backdating a Cold War F-106

I generally like the armor articles, but the ones in this issued didn't do much for me.

Regards,

-Drew

I would say the very short Fabulous FAMO was great, albeit way too short. The article on the multimedia kit was also very informative.
So, please can we have more armor? Smile [:)]
