EDITOR’S PAGE
By Mark Savage
New year, new column — go figure!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I know
I’m a tad early, but this being our
January issue it seems timely to
ring in something new.
I won’t bore you with resolu-
tions, just changes
FineScale
Modeler
is making to help you
build better models. That’s our
mantra here, adding more weap-
ons to your modeling arsenal.
So with this issue we introduce
a new column, Form & Figure, p.
20, which will focus on painting
figures, an increasingly popular
genre among modelers.
How do you paint skin tones
that look real, faces with warmth
and depth?
Or, for modelers working on
dioramas, how do you get the
uniforms, the helmets, the gear
to look as they should?
We’ve recruited master figure
modeler Joe Hudson to write
Form & Figure, which will appear
in each issue just after the popular
Airbrushing & Finishing column.
Joe will guide you through prop-
erly mixing your paints to create
just the right skin tone, fabric
shade, belt buckle color, you
name it.
attention to the detail on the fig-
ures used in it.
We hope you enjoy the stories
and learn from Joe each issue.
Meanwhile, we’ve loaded up
another issue with excellent how-
tos on aircraft, armor, and more.
I’d especially like to call out
John Brosnan’s story, p. 30, on
how to successfully introduce a
youngster to modeling. I encour-
age you to take time this holiday
season to share your skills with a
young modeler.
Happy holidays!
HOW DO YOU PAINT SKIN
TONES THAT LOOK REAL,
FACES WITH WARMTH?
Joe has been painting figures
for more than 25 years and has
sculpted figures for several model
companies. He also worked with
noted modeler Francois Verlinden.
Joe knows his stuff. We cer-
tainly realize not every modeler
will be building an X-Men kit or
painting the bust of some ancient
warrior. But that next diorama
will look all the better for your
