T
he world of plastic
modelling is a great place
to be! Not only is it a great
hobby to be involved in, but
it is also somewhere where you can
lose yourself for a few hours and
become engrossed in a project that
takes you away from the real world
for a while. With so much being
discussed today about one’s well-
being, modelling is a great avenue
for young and old to delve into, no
matter what your skills are, there is
something for everyone, and the
pleasure of creating something
unique endows a great sense of achievement.
I often sit with a project in front of me and
time just seems to evaporate, as I become
involved in a build, paint or research process
that has completely engrossed me and
cleared my thoughts. Of course, modelling
can also be a frustrating mistress when things
go wrong, but the ability to step back and
start again is always an option! Modelling
also offers an opportunity to build machines
from a number of genres, from tanks, to
aircraft, figures to sci-fi and all points in-
between, indeed a number of contributors to
SMMI have also had build projects included
in Scale Aviation Modeller and Model Aircraft
magazines, and this month we are
pleased to welcome Huw Morgan
to our pages. Huw is better known
for his aviation subjects, but his
‘Rhine Maiden’ RheinTöchter
R.1 build is quite outstanding!
Likewise, Jezz Coleman is a man of
many talents, and has a penchant
for armour and aircraft, and this
month we have his ‘Big Green
Wolverine’ in our pages, another
project not to be missed. So, why not lose
yourself in a modelling project soon!
Happy Modelling
