shipaholic Posted December 18, 2014 Share #2 Posted December 18, 2014 I read yesterday that there will not be a 2014 edition. Apparently the long-time editor has stepped down. http://www.conwaypublishing.com/?p=7177 Quote Current Build: HMB Endeavour 1:51 (Eaglemoss part work)Previous Builds: USS Constitution (Revell plastic) HMS Victory 1:96 (Corel) HMB Endeavour 1:60 (AL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Lad Posted December 18, 2014 Share #5 Posted December 18, 2014 John Bowen was the driving force behind 'Shipwright' (as he had been with its predecessor, the quarterly 'Model Shipwright) and, I think, the only reason that Conway kept publishing it was his interest and persuasion. While its sad to see it go, I think we can forgive John for retiring as he's now well into his eighties! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrens Posted January 21, 2015 Share #7 Posted January 21, 2015 Before Conway were taken over by, I believe, Bloomsbury, they advertised for a replacement for John Bowen in expectation of continuing with the publication of the annual, but unfortunately they never followed through their own attempts to recruit an editor and assistant editor. The only potential option would be for Seaforth to take up the mantle and produce something comparable to the quarterly Model Shipwright. However, a key factor would be whether sufficient people would subscribe in order to cover production costs. In this digital age my guess is that there might well be a surge on initial publication but that it wouldn't sustain continuous publication because people wouldn't automatically renew their subscription. janos and mtaylor 2 Quote Michael member of United States Naval Institute Royal United Services Institute Society for Nautical Research Navy Records Society author of The Art of Nautical lllustration - A Visual Tribute to the Classic Marine Painters, 1991, 2001 & 2002 United States Coast Guard barque Eagle, 2013 (Blurb Photobook) former assistant editor of the quarterly journal and annual Model Shipwright and Shipwright 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
