I emailed the address; but nothing back yet. I expect the offices are still closed fro Christmas.

 

Seems like some people have been listening to the punters at long last!

 

Bring it on; I say!

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

Two brand new first posters, I smell something fishy.

 

Also Future-structures is an architectural one not a publisher.

 

I’ve let David Know to save anyone else bothering

Must be a big download, looks like it comes in a shipping container ?

You can get a lot of tins of spam in a sea container

You can get a good bit of sea in a spam container as well

[Chris TriceParticipant @christrice43267]

Pathetic by anyone’s standards.

 

There are thousands of people far more deserving of the oxygen.

[space decksParticipant @spacedecks86530]

The address seems odd. But, there is rarely smoke without some possibility of fire. The hobby is rife with rumour on all sorts of topics.

 

Its interesting though; if nothing else.

 

The address was passed to me the other night. I was told the magazine has been in the planning stage for some months and has credibility.

This is from one of the pdfs on Future structures web site

The e-mail space decks gives in one of his old posts on that other forum is

cliff.almond@gmail.com

Nuff said send all your spam to that e-mail

I would draw the last posters attention to his own lowly 5 forum posts. But Im not counting, sir!

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

Graham has recently rejoined us so his post count has started again, you were obviously typing that while I posted my reply above, looks like the game is up

Containers into sustainable housing? 40′ x 8’2″!

 

Watch out! Shantytown coming to a field near you!

 

Is this the plan for the Olympic Village? Peter Rachman is probably signed up already.

Excellent work Wat(Ja)son!

 

If the bounder was straighht about his connection we might be discussing teh new idea right now. As it is, all he’s done is make a fool of himself.

Totally agree its not the idea of a new mag but that way its been gone about. I’m sure people would be far more liekly to sign up to some one who was honest from the start than using a roundabout way of advertising.

 

Space decks, I’m sure David and the other myhobbystore staff would be only too willing to sell you some advertising space, they have adverts for other mags such as MEB so why not yours?

Could be the new Dale Farm ?

Interesting to see mention of Rachman. A few months ago I had reason to mention his name and nobody in my audience had heard of him. Realised I was the oldest in the group and the term Rachmanism has left the modern vocabulary.

Anyway back on topic whenever I see a new mag started up I think of the strain on the trade who are lumbered with another advertising bill in a market that has not grown but has in fact had thousands of pounds diverted from their ptoential customers into the magazine’s subscription.

[DMBParticipant @dmb]

I hope that not too many mugs rush to buy yet another new me – type mag at he expense of ME/MEW, after all ,if sales dip too much they could, just could follow Myfords and we dont really want that, do we?

Dont laugh – I did a “what if?” on Myfords 5 years ago and started collecting all the Myford bits that I thought I might want in the future. I envisaged likliest scenario would be them going bust like we keep reading about the rest of engineering in UK. Ageing owners sell out to someone who cocks it all up and it still goes down the pan. Flogged off to someone who takes the whole outfit to the Far East and down-market.

I`ve got most Myford bits I wanted so I`m laughing.

Tell you what. When (if) you get a reply with more tangible details other than an email address, let us know. That’ll save everyone else having to repeat the exercise and them write multiple replies. Meanwhile, who are you?

When and if this ME mag appears i would hope it is good, it would have to keep my attention for three months before the next came along. all sounds odd to me, here today gone tomorrow with our subs.

[chris stephensParticipant @chrisstephens63393]

Hi Guys,

Someone must know something about the “new” mag, it must have lined up some people to write the articles. Have any of you offered or been invited to write for them?

chriStephens

PS If you have offered, how did you find out about it?

[Chris TriceParticipant @christrice43267]

That’s the trick isn’t it. Who else except “Space Decks” and “Spindle Speed” have heard about this from another source other than “Space Decks” and/or “Spindle Speed”? Come on SD and SS, who told you about the mag? You’d put so many people’s minds at ease by telling us.

[Ian S CParticipant @iansc]

You want containers? We’v got a city full of them, Most of the shops in central Christchurch are modified containers, and will be for at least the next five years. They also hold some of the remaining buildings up. Ian S C
