O
ne of the things I have
always loved about scale
military modelling is the art
of the diorama. Be this
a small vignette or a large expansive model, the
creativity and skill to bring pieces of plastic, resin,
etch and other materials together and mould them
into a believable scene has always impressed me.
Some modellers will create a diorama just using
their imagination and ingenuity, whilst others
will refer to wartime photographs for inspiration,
and today we are blessed with plenty of references
readily available through books, magazines and
of course on-line as sources to turn to. Also, the
materials available to the modeller to create a scene
are endless, with accessories by the score, from
buildings, banners, street ephemera, rubble, grass,
trees and streetlamps, the list seems boundless!
And of course, if a particular piece is hard to find
there are plenty of resources to show you how to
scratch build one! This month we have not one,
but two dioramas from Robin Gilby as a case
in point, with his Operation Striker Denial’ and
‘Lighting Up Berlin’ scenes, where he
uses a plethora of sets from a number of
manufacturers, as well as some scratch
building to produce what are quite
involved dioramas. I hope these will give you
some inspiration to have a go at creating your own
scene. Elsewhere this month we have two exclusive
‘how-to’ builds from Matt Edwards and another
from Snorre Sandviken. Elsewhere Iwan Hughes
tells the story of Mariya Oktyabrskaya and builds
the 1:35 Revell kit with the ‘Fighting Girlfriend’
slogan. Also look out for Joao Pereira’s ‘Puppy and
the Panther’ and Kayhan Kayar’s Aerosled.
Under New Ownership
Also, you will notice from our cover this month
that we are now ‘Under New Ownership’ as SMMI
and our sister publication Scale Aviation Modeller
are now part of ‘MA Publications’, who produce
Model Aircraft Magazine and the excellent MA
Extra series of modelling books. MA Publications
is a very forward-thinking company and have
some great ideas to bring you in SMMI this year.
So, we are kicking off this new era with a special
‘double issue’, that I hope you will enjoy! As
always there is plenty to look forward to under
our new owners and all that remains for me to say
is……
Happy Modelling
