Model Builder International Mar. 2015 Vol. 1 Issue 1 MBI Mar. 2015 Vol 1 Issue 1 | Page 4

Firstly, welcome to the March edition of Model Builder International. As I sit at my desk and look outside I see the winter snow is starting to melt, at least here in the interior of British Columbia anyways. As the snow melts and the days get longer I start to think about what the coming year will hold. For Model Builder International this will be our third magazine in as many months and you might be wondering what we have planned for you? In the rest of 2015 we will continue to be publishing magazines and honing our skills and expertise in this area until we have something that we hope you'll agree, is as good as anything out there, and in time, perhaps even better! We are starting off with free issues while we develop our format and hope that you will give us some feedback on what you want to see. Eventually we will charge a nominal fee to cover some of the costs of maintaining the website at www.modelbuilderinternational.com and building the magazine. Various people are also giving us articles for publication at no cost, and we hope the nominal fee will also allow us to start paying back those same people and rewarding those who helped us through the birthing process! If you feel you want to test out your building, photography and writing skills on our free editions, please contact us at the email address at the bottom of this editorial. We’re always on the look out for people with great building skills who want to share their knowledge. Or if your building skills are like Kenny’s and mine, people with a sense of humour who can help us all learn from their mistakes and have some fun along the way are always welcome. For the free editions we can’t pay you I’m afraid, or ourselves for that matter, but getting in at the beginning of a new enterprise and becoming part of the team will benefit us all in the long run. To finish I’d just like to paraphrase an old saying “ If you like what you see, tell your friends, if you see room for improvement, let us know...and tell your friends anyways!” Paul Tosney Asst Editor 1:48 Scale EA-6B Prowler By Florent Welter Editor Associate Editor Kenny Conklin Paul Tosney Web Design Tom Conkln Contributors Florent Welter Published By Hobby Link International Inc. 36-11 31ST Avenue Astoria NY 11106 Suite 2H © 2015 Hobby Link International Inc.
