[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by kevlar9296 I doubt I'll get an answer for this one, but I'd also love to know how much typical model magazines pay for articles on such beautiful layouts. Does the payment for the article put a dent in the cost of the hobby? I would love to hear that it does put a dent in it - so that the super talented individuals/clubs could get something back for sharing their talent with everyone else. [/quote] It isn't a secret! While I haven't submitted any articles for a while, the major magazines all paid around $80.00 per page for articles. Cover photos were worth $125.00. These amounts may have changed somewhat, but can be used as a general guide. What's nice about MR is when they accept your material, they pay you for it based upon the estimated space it would take in the magazine. When it is published if it takes more space, they will pay you the difference. Keep in mind MR buys a lot of submissions, and seeing your work in print could take quite some time.[:(] Other mags pay only upon publication of the material. I've had the good fortune to have had material used in most major magazines, and the income from this work has offset most if not all of my hobby expenditures. [:D] Bob Boudreau Canada
