We exchange them at our monthly IPMS chapter meeting-  almost every time, someone brings in a stack and throws them on the table for everyone to help themselves.

reload them as needed and use them until they are unservicable.... oh reading magazines... I keep all my old FSMs regardless. But after two moves in recent years I thinned out all of my othe magazine titles significantly... alot of my historical magazines were pitched,  and I thinned out many of the non FSM model magazines as well. Much of the information that those magazines had and that I bought them for is now available online.

I have old FASM magazines going back 15 years or more.One thing you notice over time is often topics repeat themselves.I have even seen FSM use articles from Scale auto mag without alteration !

Old Magazines. What do you do with them?
Posted by M1 A1 A2 Tanker on Friday, July 5, 2013 7:12 PM

Hi,
    Guys/Gals

      I was wondering what do you usual do with your old magazines? Do you keep them forever? Wait a couple of years then get rid of them? Or something inbetween?

     I ask because I have a bunch of old Military Modelers, IPMS Journals, and others going back several years and am seriously considering pitching them.

     Finescale Modeler I of course keep forever! Big Smile Actually not really. I keep about 5 years of back issues in binders.

 

Thanks

Scott
