By Mark Savage
There’s a method to our madness
YOU MAY WONDER
how the
heck we go about selecting stories
for each issue of
FineScale Modeler.
While there’s always a bit of flexi-
bility up to the last minute, we
do
have a system.
First, we are constantly sending
you surveys to make sure the sto-
ries we run meet your needs and
expectations. That’s one guide.
Second, we attend many shows
to see what you are modeling and
to watch for changing trends. We
gain a lot of feedback at these
events, and occasionally find a
new author or two.
Third, we get a lot of e-mails
(not so much snail mail anymore)
from you about what you want to
see in the magazine and on the
website, including which models
you wish the manufacturers would
create. (More on that in an
upcoming issue.) We’re communi-
cating with readers around the
world constantly. For instance,
this week I had e-mails from
Serbia, England, and Canada.
Fourth, we have opinions. Yes, I
know it’s hard to believe, but we
We’re always looking for strong
ship models, and sci-fi has grown
in popularity at shows the past
couple of years too. The latest
“Star Wars” movie certainly will
help keep that fire stoked.
We also see figure painting and
fantasy figure modeling growing.
Not every story is for everyone.
We know some of you only model
in one genre.
But it’s our aim and hope that,
no matter the subject, you’ll find a
few new modeling tips to help you
learn, grow, and have more fun.
THIS WEEK I HAD E-MAILS
FROM SERBIA, ENGLAND,
AND CANADA
have favorite subjects too. So a
Russian tank here, a P-38 there,
may creep into the mix
(See
Airbrushing & Finishing, p. 20).
But we’re always looking for a
mix of stories — aircraft and
armor for sure — and we try to
mix up the eras as there are fans of
World War I and II equipment,
plus many of the younger model-
ers who prefer Vietnam and Iraq
war vehicles. Some even want
civilian aircraft and airliners.
