    Joe, if you didn't get your copy yet, let me give you a little preview. Your article covers 6 pages, and 3 of them are color. The pictures are great. The texture shows up better in the magazine. Its easier to see the static grass. Overall, a good looking layout.

    Thanks John! I see yours has a color page as well! That is a great collection! :) The sad thing for me is I have added more building since that Christmas break, so the layout looks different. :D I guess I'll have to keep people updated with some pictures here. What I have really gotten into lately is painting vehicles from Randy Brown. I got the school bus, fire truck, dump truck, and the grain truck. Man those are great kits!

    We are receiving numerous reports from around the US that the January/February issue still has not arrived yet. The volume is far greater than similar issues with delivery in the past. We do fear a group of magazines have been held up somewhere in the USPS pipeline. We are asking that wait one more week. If the issues do not arrive by March 25, please let us know. We plan to start sending replacement issues at the end of next week. Thank you for your patience.

    For those who have their issues, mocking those who don't does not help matters!

    So it's not "just me"

    Thanks for the update, Rob. I was about to start taking it personally! ;-)

    Gee Mike,
    My ZTrack arrived some time ago down here in the "other" Vancouver. Sounds like your PO in Seattle has some problems. I'll bet the staff has been reading them on their breaks before they deliver them!

    It's hardly scientific, but from the time I started subscribing to ZTrack until now, delivery times (following Rob's announcements online that the latest issue is in the mail) have deteriorated. Early on, there'd be complaints online that "my copy has not arrived in Peducah yet", when I'd long since received mine, and read it from cover to cover. With each issue it's taken longer and longer before the issues arrive.

    My postal carrier has expressed an interest in the infrequent Irish postage stamps I get (admittedly, the Irish PO issues some nice stamps!). Maybe she has a secret Z-habit as well! ;-)

    How about I mail mine to someone so that they're happy ? Maybe a test to see if your mail carrier is keeping them for himself, I'll use a plain brown wrapper ;)

    Rob, I got mine yesterday and it's great. Strange that delivery to Switzerland is faster :)
