I've got print and digital for now.  Print copy runs out in May.  I'm debating renewing the paper copy or just staying digital.

Won't be subscribing.

Been thinning out my reference library and cutting back on all new  printed modeling reference  purchases due to need for more model display space.

I renewed for another 3 years.  I loved getting reminders starting over 5 issues ago, and then continuously, that my subscription would run out with the March 2012 issue, too.

If I wanted to get nagged on a regular basis, I'd have gotten married.

My subscription expires in March, i'll definitely be renewing.

I also bought about 2 years worth of back-catalogue issues last year.  Was over the moon when they all arrived - greatest two months' worth of reading of my life!

Yeah and if you'd gotten married, you couldn't afford a 3 yr subscription. Stick out tongue

Ive been thinking of subscribing, but the mags would probably just get munched up under the couch along with my partners embroidery mags lol.

Maybe next year

I really enjoy FSM, and with the paper copies, you can stack them up on a shelf or put them in binders and refer to them for years to come.  The information on tips and techniques is always valuable and never grows old.  I'm on my third year, and intend to continue the subscription.

My subscription runs out next year. I will renew it. I have every issue published and plan to continue to read and save  them. I keep them in file boxes in my hobby room. I also download the annual index FSM releases on line.

I also have every issue, plus a few spares (ones I bought at the newstand when my subscription issue was delayed in the mail and I got impatient waiting).

Over the Holidays I finally managed to to get the last couple of years gathered up and into binders.  The entire collection is currently all stacked up in a corner of the den which has prompted a discussion with my wife regarding the possiblity of buying a dedicated bookcase for them.  She's somewhat receptive, because it at least gets them out of the walk-in closet in the bedroom.  Just bought another new bookcase late last year, but it got filled up pretty quickly with my collection of Detail & Scale, Squadron In Action books and about fifteen years of The Hook.

Ditto, except I'm a habitual "newsstand subscriber".

True, very true!  Wouldn't have been able to accumulate the stash, either!  Big Smile

Seriously, though, it's a great value for the money, as far as subscriptions go, a bargain, and it's worth it to me to take the 3-year subscription, because I know I'd just subscribe each year, anyway, so I might as well take the discount Wink

I had a subscription when I was younger. These days I tend to pick and choose off the news stand with most magazine purchases I make. I normally spend at least $50-60 a month on model magazines alone. The ones I read most often average 10-15 bucks per issue, so it pays to be choosy...

FSM is a good rag to be sure and great at showing the building blocks of modeling without getting overly technical.

Haven't subscribed in quite a while. Just doesn't do much for me I guess.
