Has anyone heard about the new magazine for model engineers to be launched in April 2012?
Its apparently to be aimed at the serious and technical minded engineer and will be published 4 times per year; aiming at the quality end of the market and available via subscription only.
Does anyone know how to find out more about it?

This is from one of the pdfs on Future structures web site
"Copyright 2010© Clifford M Almond / Future Structures"
The e-mail space decks gives in one of his old posts is
cliff.almond@gmail.com
Nuff said send all your spam to that e-mail

Is this the same Cliff Almond doing the 7 1/4" William Spence series in ME at the moment, if so there may be some credibility in this?

His profile says he's 35, looks older in the ME photo that goes with the article.
It may give the mag some credability if not his way of promoting it.

You did the same searches as me Jason. I also did a whois search which gives the registrants address as
Unit 3178
P O Box 3645
London
W1A 6US
At a guess this is no more than a mail drop box.
Question is, is there really space in the market for a fourth ME magazine?

Is just someone being extremely silly and trying to stir up controvesy, if so they must lead a very sad life.
Everyone have a good new year and enjoy your workshop
