Modelling - a joy
and a challenge
M
odelling can, as we know
be both an enjoyable and
frustrating hobby, and we
plastic fans greet
these two facets with equal measure! You
will no doubt have read articles from our
many contributors who share their joys and
challenges with us every month! But this is
what makes our hobby so appealing. It’s the art
of bringing together disparate pieces of plastic,
etch and resin parts to create something
quite unique in miniature, and in doing so to
embark of a voyage of discovery every time.
This is one of the reasons magazines such as
SMMI are an integral part of the modellers
‘tool-box’ as we aim to inspire you to get the
most from your hobby time.
Once again this month our 100
pages are packed with features
and articles including two figure
builds, one from Christoff
Clery of Andrea Miniatures and
another from our own Mark
Dollery. Figures are becoming an
important arm of the hobby and as
such we devote as many pages as
possible to news, previews and full
features from the figure world, and
indeed the May issue of SMMI will
be our annual ‘Figure
Special’, with some
exclusive builds and
competitions and much
more to boot!
We Recommend
Elsewhere this month
we have a quite stunning
SA-2 SAM build from Andrea
Paternieri, and MRAP Cougar from Chester
Uy and Bob Westerman turn his Modellers
Social Club Model of the Month winning
Panther 131 from Kampfgruppe Peiper into
a full build article. Another highlight is Larry
Uchmanowicz M247 ‘SGT York’ Air Defence
Gun System, which used left-over tank parts,
a radar designed for a supersonic jet, a pitiable
design and poor testing, and led to numerous
rusty hulks populating test
ranges! Plus much, much more!
So until next time……
Until next time, happy
modelling!
