hen we planned to release the "Beach" issue last year, our intention was for the magazine to hit
store shelves in early June to commemorate the 76th anniversary of the Allied landing in Norman-
dy. However, this did not happen... As we prepared to go to print, no one expected the global crisis
of the coronavirus pandemic and the numerous socio-economic perturbations it caused. Many of us treated
the information coming from China and television coverage with a grain of salt, hoping that the virus would
not spread outside the territory of the Middle Kingdom. As we soon found out, the situation would unfold
rapidly exposing every one of us to a greater or lesser extent. One of the more severe effects of the pande-
mic was social isolation, closed schools, shuddered shops, blacked out cinemas, locked museums, cancelled
concerts and large gatherings including virtually all annual modelling competitions that the AMMO team
was looking forward to. In most countries, the authorities introduced radical bans on leaving one’s house or
moving freely. This drastic measure likely contributed positively to limiting the spread of the new threat, but
undoubtedly left its mark on the psyche and will remain in the collective consciousness for many years. During
this quarantine and situation surrounding the pandemic, AMMO has remained focused on supporting the
community and supporting this unique opportunity to enjoy the hobby at home. In this effort we have crea-
ted online events to promote the hobby and provided quality content and live streaming demonstrations and
tutorials in both English and Spanish, hosted multiple contests drawing high calibre entries from the AMMO
community, as well as supporting charitable causes and community strength.
Although this period has been hard for everyone, one can also appreciate the amazing ability of the internet
to keep us all connected: The AMMO by Mig Jimenez Facebook group is filled with your excellent models,
works in progress, and hobby tips encouraging us all to enjoy the hobby while staying connected in the abs-
ence of modelling events and contests.
With modelling events on pause, we have been able to host several competitions online. The first theme was
the “Funny Photo Challenge” which kept us all amused as hobbyists shared their most original and funny pho-
tos enjoying the hobby at home. Your photomontages filled with interesting narratives
and models have successfully inspired the modelling community. Many of you
also answered Mig's challenge to show your skill with chipping effects
by demonstrating a multitude of methods used to tackle this universal
modelling technique. Finally, your models allowed us to commemorate
the 76th Anniversary of D-Day with a mini modelling tournament on
our Facebook Group. Throughout all, your purchases from AMMO by
Mig Jimenez have directly supported charitable actions. In this way,
your hobby has directly contributed to the battle against this illness.
Although the coronavirus pandemic continues, we look forward to
seeing each other again at shows, events and contests soon. Un-
til then, AMMO and The Weathering Magazine publications remain
committed to supporting the global modelling community and inspiring
you to enjoy the hobby.
