Euro Model News

A week or so back I received a link to a website/newsletter called Euro Model News. Since I'm far more interested in what comes out of Europe than Asia, I took a look.

 

Here's the link: http://www.euromodelnews.net/

 

The website is mostly in German, which I can read (not as well as I used to), but the organization and benefits to signing up as a user on the website remain pretty much a mystery. It's not fun navigating because they run a very lengthy pseudo-RSS "headlines" feed down the right side, seemingly endlessly. Populating that makes page and view changes jerky. If you do sign up for the website, or go to it much, I recommend clicking the newsletter button to collapse it -- that seems to make things go smoother.

 

Of more interest is that you can subscribe to an email newsletter that shows up every day or so and last the newest news listed such that you can click on it and go read it. Unfortunately they only use about 20 characters for the "headline" so you might have to guess a lot or view more than you want. Working this way, off the email newsletter, is a good reason to collapse the newsletter list on the right side.

 

I have no association with these folks, not does IPMS/USA. I did see some folks on Missing Lynx complaining about being spammed by them to sign up, but I haven't had that experience. I have not had any problems, no security issues, no viruses, phishing, etc ... That's all I can say.

 

 

Here's one such newsletter -- not everything is timely -- they have headlines on the new Wingnuts kits that came out in December -- I've already got an RE.8 and the Reviewer Corps has a few others. But at least I get a look at aftermarket, figures, etc -- that rarely get any press here in the US.

Add me to the list of those spammed by this guy. I got at least 5 unsolicited emails in the last 2 days, and as others have pointed out in other places, there is no where noted to "unsubscribe" or "opt out".

 

All it's done is pretty much guarantee I won't be visiting or subscribing.
