Model Engineer

Model Engineer Magazine, which began in the UK in 1898, was established by Percival Marshall, who served as its editor for more than five decades. Since 2008, MyTime Media has taken over its publication. The magazine was created to cater to the growing interest in model engineering, focusing on the building of often functioning models and experimental engineering, primarily using metal. It has attracted a diverse audience, appealing to professional engineers, skilled machinists, and anyone passionate about creating working devices, regardless of their background.

We have had an excellent ‘crop’ of entries for this year’s Stevenson Trophy – the workshop equipment competition where readers get to choose the winner yourselves. In fact, we had so many entries, that we have had to strictly apply the 500-word limit and limit the number of photographs (entries with fewer words got an extra photo!). Readers and Model Engineer Forum members can vote up until the 30 September using the link here COMPETITION VOTE.
