EDITOR’S PAGE
By Aaron Skinner
Always striving to be better
hen I start a model, my
goal is always to make
it better than the last
one. It may be as simple as making
the paint even smoother or nailing
a complex camouf lage scheme that
has always eluded me. Or maybe
scratchbuilding something that
makes it unique. Whatever it may
be, I want to keep improving.
It’s something we strive for at
FineScale Modeler.
Our mission is
to bring you the best of scale
modeling each issue with tips and
techniques you can use on your
next project. The magazine’s aim
has always been to make you bet-
ter modelers.
This issue brims with stories
from new and old authors show-
casing some of the best the hobby
has to offer. Check out
FSM
new-
comer Don Suratos’ stunningly
weathered “Gunther” mech. Big
’bots may not be your thing, but
he offers some terrific tips and
ideas for painting and weathering
with acrylics that easily translate
W
to regular armor, such as the
German tanks that inspired the
mech’s design.
Rafał Lebioda, who has become
a regular over the last few years,
shows how to add character to a
car model with restrained wear
and tear.
Darren Roberts kitbashes his
way to a better A-1E Skyraider,
and John Maher discovers a new
way to paint mottled camouf lage
on natural-metal finishes.
Master scratchbuilder Karel
Sutt offers some nifty ideas to
uprgrade a basic tank model.
And that’s just the print
magazine. Head to FineScale.com
to see even more exclusive build
stories and how-to info.
Happy modeling, and here’s to
your next build being even better!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
FOR 40 YEARS,
FINESCALE MODELER
has been — and will continue to be —the
essential resource for scale modelers. But over the course of those years, the pub-
lishing business has undergone massive changes. Paper, printing, and postage
costs have all risen exponentially. Readers of every age and interest level are
increasingly looking for content online. The scale modeling hobby has changed,
too, and we must continue to change with it.
Beginning with this issue,
FineScale Modeler
will be published six times
r
per year.
All current subscribers will receive the number of issues published in a
year term. The amount of time remaining on your subscription will not be altered.
The publishing schedule going forward will be January/February, March/April, May/June,
July/August, September/October, and November/December.
Despite the reduction in print issues, we will still produce the same amount of content
you have come to expect from
FSM.
More of that content will now be published on our
website for registered subscribers only. So, if you haven’t registered on FineScale.com, be
sure to do it now so you can enjoy the full range of how-to stories, in-depth kit reviews,
videos, building ideas, and painting tips we create for you. Rest assured, we remain com-
mitted to giving you, our loyal core of dedicated scale modelers, more and better content
both in print and online. We love scale modeling as much as you and look forward to serv-
ing you and the hobby for many years to come.
