MMIR seamed to a favorite of many but always had issues getting to stands on time and now seams to be gone so what happened?

I believe Ampersand Publishing has ceased to exist. Parts of the company and stock was bought out by David Doyle, but I do believe that did not include the magazine.

Yep old Pat shut it down.

It was inevitable. Me personally, I'm glad it's gone. At one time MMIR was the absolute BEST modelling magazine period. Things started going south several years ago when they were behind a couple issues and would never return phone calls, emails, etc. but still get sending me reminders that my current subscription was about to expire and I needed to send them money to get the next issues, which they were already behind. I never bought another MMIR again. Again, it was inevitable.

True what you said Tony, and started to fill up more adds then modeling. Same as Panzer Aces.
