My girlfriend’s mother had saved FSM from 1995 and it took me three weeks to read every issue. It turns out that every question I would have had is already answered. I suffer from having too much info in my head about modeling and am trying to model one way at the moment.
The magazine is very interesting and I’m a bit intimidated by all of the kits that have been built by the experts. I merely take a simple model and build it whereas so many of you “scratch build” and accessorize.
I kind of wish that the magazine had “centerfolds” like Playboy. That way, I could put some of those bee yew tee ful shermans up on my wall. Yes, I feel in awe of all the artists that frequent this board and am very hesitant to upload any pictures of the tanks I finished.
I just came back from “Books a Million”, a book store we have here in the U.S. and I was looking for some books on modeling. Many dumb looks were my reward and I realized that I don’t need to purchase any books on this subject when I have such an awesome source of info here and in the magazine. I am seriously contemplating naming my firstborn “Shermanfreak”.
Your most ardent fan,
Mike
