Awesomeness x 10 pages!
LAST ISSUE
I sang the praises
of the International Plastic
Modelers Society/USA show and
convention. Now I’m here to
“prove” it was filled with fantastic
models.
We decided a 6-page, even an
8-page gallery of IPMS show
models wasn’t enough. So we went
with a 10-page gallery of beautiful
builds, along with tips from the
experts who made these models.
Not to toot our own horn too
often, or loudly, but we’ll have
even more finishing tips gathered
at the show, along with photos, in
our special pre-holiday publica-
tion, the
Ultimate Guide to
Finishing.
Look for that on news-
stands in November.
You’ll also notice a fun R2-D2
build in this issue, something a bit
out of character for
FSM.
But
with the latest “Star Wars” movie
hitting theaters in December, we
want to encourage modelers of all
ages and interests to build what
they love. Who doesn’t love a
droid?
Meanwhile we have an awe-
some Adam Wilder KV-1 build
for armor fans and a magnificent
with keen eyesight will have
noticed a shiny new face in our
staff photos below.
We welcome Elizabeth Nash to
our team as Tim Kidwell moves
over to edit
Drone 360,
a new
Kalmbach Publishing title, about
drones — what else?
We’re happy for Tim and
excited to have a new young mod-
eler on board. Oh, and for Tim’s
video fans, he
may
appear in some
future videos, once we fix the
camera’s lens!
WHO DOESN’T
LOVE A DROID?
Bf 110G-4 nightfighter for air-
craft modelers.
There’s also a quick tip story on
how to create props that appear to
be spinning. I know as a young
modeler I would have loved to fig-
ure that out to make my planes
look like they were really flying.
Most of us like to model as much
realism as possible.
Finally, a staffing note. Those
