how many of you have (collect) fsm magazines that you use as reference a lot as well as the other brands (OK jeff i said it)
i do i have about 300 or so
firstly i keep on computer an inventory of all the mags
secondly i keep separate list by subject as to what is in each magazine
it is a project that can be done in just 3 weekends, but it has saved hours of time when having to look for a specific article of reference
a list for armor 1 for aircraft etc...
i use microsoft works but any of the simple office programs that most computers have will work mine is in spread sheet format
example
i want to do a bren carrier so rather than go thru
every mag i go to my list
it says
model magazine month/yr
bren........ fsm 0903
military mach int 1002
military modeler 1083
military modeler 0283
if you have large ref collection it is worth the time to create this
