ota Supra. Upon its global

Supra created a worldwide
buzz. Designed with beautiful bal-
ance, it provides superlative handling
and stable corners, while the sensu-
ous long nose, short deck form has a
striking double-bubble roof. Com-
bined with impeccable power from a
turbocharged inline-six or inline-four
engine, the GR Supra is set to define
the next generation of performance.

We Are the Champions
THE NEW YEAR IS UPON US!
Th at mean models to bu ild,

sh ows to atten an more cool kit releases.

It also means another year to reaffirm our commitment to work on
something near and dear to many of our hearts: spreading the word about
scale modeling and helping the hobby grow.
For many years (decades!), I’ve heard prognostications foretelling the
demise and disappearance of scale modeling. Reasons for this never-quite-
realized Armageddon have ranged from MTV to Nintendo to the internet to
Fortnite.
No one denies the cornucopia of delectable diversions competing for
our time every day, and only the purposefully obtuse would fail to recognize
the enticements streaming TV or online gaming offer.
Even so, we live in what could be considered a Golden Age for scale
modeling. If you remove nostalgia from the equation, there are more model
kits with greater variety and detail light-years beyond anything previously
produced. While prices have certainly increased over the years, they aren’t
disproportionate to inflation plus the myriad improvements and innovations
realized through better molding technologies and sophisticated designs.
Fellow enthusiasts, we are the champions for our hobby, for if not us, who?
As its champions, we must recruit new modelers. For me, that means setting
aside an evening a week when my son and I belly up to the workbench and
spend two hours on our respective projects. And now, it’s more than a one-off.
It’s on the calendar, scheduled, an expectation of shared time and experience.
I manage expectations and let him work on what interests him: Right now,
3 0 mm fantasy figures. But he wants his next project to be a car! I must be
pretty cool because a couple of my son’s friends have expressed interest in
building models. Now, I’m working a plan to add two more workstations, and
my four-year-old daughter wants in on the action.
As contributor Tim Boyd famously says, “Never underestimate the power of
enthusiasm.” I couldn’t agree more. Enthusiasm catches, it spreads, and I see it
from attendees every time I’m at a modeling show. So, how do you intend to
share your enthusiasm for scale modeling and champion the hobby this year?
