Title: new modelling magazine ACES HIGH MAGAZINE issue 2
Post by: Lorenzo on July 21, 2014, 07:58:32 AM: I don't know if it's the good place to post it (sorry if not)

I saw a new modelling magazine : Aces high magazine

The issue 2 is completely devoted to WW1 AIRCRAFT and it looks good

Post by: Andi Little on July 21, 2014, 06:04:22 PM: It is good - excellent in fact. And I was all set to treat myself to a copy.

But! When I filled out the order form I quickly realised whilst the mag' was a fair price - the shipping it wasn't ... comedy gold in fact.
It was all but twice the price of the magazine - and way too rich for my blood.

I spent the money on some photoetch for a ship build, and at a tenth of the price - if not, even less.

"Ridiculous"

Post by: Ssasho0 on July 21, 2014, 06:25:57 PM: I also decided to get a copy of the mag together with issue 1, but again a 9EUR magazine with 20EUR shipping (cheapest option) stopped me and instead I ordered the WnW Bristol FIghter

Best regards,
Sasho

Aviattic's new American crew set is featured in it as a "how to" guide and Ive seen some of the other beautiful builds and finishes - its a good publication - trust me! Though Ive still got to get that Brisfit myself....!

Oh, well, lottery on wednesday!

Best wishes, Richard
Well, you'd better get on it, Richard. With the Harry Tate and now the Duelist Combo sold out, the Biff can't be far behind.

I also started to order this very attractive looking mag, but came to a screeching halt when confronted with the shipping charges. Oh, well. Maybe someday the rates will go down, or, like Richard, I'll win the lottery.
Cheers,
Bud

I think they will be following up with a PDF version. Not sure when this will happen though.

Post by: Derrick on July 22, 2014, 05:06:15 AM: The magazine is carried by third party online stores. I had preordered it along with issue 1 and a few other items. Not sure if I can post a link, but I am sure many online stores which sell aircraft models, accessories, books and magazines should carry it.

Does it have gratuitous cheesecake like The Westhering Magszine?

As soon as I see a pair of well positioned mammary glands in a plastic modelling mag my wallet stays put.
If I wanted to see hooters I would scour the top shelf of my local news agents. ???

Hey, but that's just me.

Heh yeah that's fine, I was just curious. TWM is otherwise very good, but it has this men's magazine pose which strikes me as rather hilarious actually. Like they are trying a bit too hard not to be nerdy modelers.

Post by: jknaus on August 10, 2014, 01:31:18 PM: Got mine yesterday and it wasn't bad. I'm still not sold on getting it full time though. Got issue one and two and there is some great photography and some great hints, but something just seems to be missing. Could be me. The DH2 article was neat as was the article on the Pup. I love that they show the paints, stains pigments etc, but I wish they had been more explicit in their use. I would recommend this issue for sure. The next issue will deal with Imperial Japan which is not one of my areas of interest so will probably pass. If you want to see what the mag is like check it out on Facebook.
