Welcome to the February issue of UberHobby! This month I would like to welcome David
Creel, Ned Barnett, and Bill Newcomer to the UberHobby family. They are the first writers
to submit work under the new gift certificate incentive program and will be receiving their
Amazon gift certificate shortly.

We would also like to give a big American “howdy” to AMPS Israel. They are a new AMPS
chapter, and  you can see their new website at  http://www.amps-israel.org.

Finally, I would like to share an observation with everyone. In the last couple of years
several local hobby shops have gone out of business. So what does this mean? Is our
hobby dying, or is it just that mail order has replaced the traditional “brick & mortar”
hobby shop?

Let us know what you think.

Until next month,

Keep those brushes clean!

UberHobby
An online hobby magazine written for scale
modelers by scale modelers.
February 2010.
Greetings! UberHobby is an online hobby magazine written for scale modelers by scale
modelers. Unlike other magazines, UberHobby does not have a staff of professional
writers. Instead our content is provided by you, the members of the scale modeling
community. Within this tome you will find kit reviews, tips and tricks, and articles of
general interest. You will also find information on new product releases, contests and
conventions, and lists of clubs in your area. So have fun and enjoy!
