or the past few years I avoided thinking about writing this, but deep down I knew that this moment
would come one day. I still remember the moment many years ago when Elizabeth Wiese and I along
with several friends were out enjoying cocktails, inspired by excellent company, the crazy idea of
creating The Weathering Magazine was introduced. The best ideas always come to mind when you are
relaxed and having fun, and that wild idea of creating a magazine focused only on modelling techniques
featuring beautiful hostess in each issue became a reality soon after. Elizabeth was the type of person
who enjoyed adding fuel to the fire, so she took an active role in the creation of the magazine from the
very beginning. The concept immediately benefited from her choosing the aesthetic and specifically by
shaping the character of Akatsiya, who starred in our pages for a few years. It is interesting that this
aspect was criticized by some readers as somewhat sexist, when the idea, wardrobe, and the direction
of photo sessions was actually conceived of and directed by a powerful and intelligent woman who also
chose to appear herself in several issues. The trivial controversy is ancient history now. When Eli began
to suffer from the physical effects of cancer, she gradually lost the vitality and drive required to continue
guiding aspects of the magazine, and today the provocative Akatsiya is only a distant memory. That play-
ful and carefree angle was a true reflection of one of the creators of The Weathering Magazine in particu-
lar, and the entire AMMO project in general. Many of you will also remember that she also wrote informa-
tive product reviews and appeared in articles to share modelling events from around the world with you.
Eli was always surrounded by modellers who valued her as an energetic and forward thinking promoter
of our hobby, always absorbed in the organization of online contests, events,
and modelling shows all over the world. Her passing on December 30th,
2019 at the age of 32, closes a chapter in the history of AMMO of Mig
Jimenez, TWM, and TWA. In the past two months, we have received
tens of thousands of messages of condolence and support through
social media expressing appreciation for her contributions to the
global modelling community. Elizabeth, the creator of this maga-
zine and one of the founders of AMMO, my wife and mother
of my son, leaves a huge void in these pages and in our hearts
forever. Wherever you are, this magazine will always carry your
name and your memory, these pages will always beam with your
joy, the inspiring modelling and informative articles will
always reflect your creativity and generos-
ity. Thank you for giving us the best years
of your life. I want to thank each of you
for giving her so much love in life and
after her death.
