QUOTE: Originally posted by Notch 8 Yes, I agree. Kind of crappy. I don't feel so bad about not buying the magazine regularly. Of equal importance, I was a little dissapointed with my July 2004 copy of CTT. The content was good as always but the book literally fell apart after a few days. At least 10 pages tore out from the center. Now the book sits on my desk as a big wad of tape and paper. While I'm at it, Years ago, I was a regular subscriber to CTT. When the subscription ran out, I simply purchased them at the local hoby shop. Gave me a good excuse to go. Recently I decided to resubscribe. To my surprise, the book no longer comes in a plastic bag. As a result my magazines are a little beat up when they finally reach my mailbox. Anyone at CTT have any insight? Not to meaning to bash CTT in any way, just wanted to voice some things in the QAQC department.
I'm back!

OGR simply doesn't have the same resources at it's disposal. That doesn't make it bad, but it does make Rich Melvin's job a lot more difficult. I just had a chance to look through run 202, and I thought it was a bit light for content,
