Anyone have any idea of any good uk model making magazines &/or newsgroups.
Thanks for looking.


Model Engineers Workshop ( aka MEW ) used to be a decent mag, and
uk.rec.models.engineering is a useful newsgroup.


For some reason that name triggered a long-forgotten memory of
"Practical Mechanics", a monthly magazine edited by FJ Camm in the
1950s. The same chap edited "Practical Wireless", "Practical Television"
etc. ISTR that in one of those magazines appeared a long-running series
of articles by the Flat Earth Society which triggered my interest in
mathematics.
