t comes as no surprise to us as modelers that this hobby can be, and usua-
lly is a very solitary pursuit. Most of us spend hours at our workbenches,
usually alone, working to bring some measure of reality to the bits of
plastic and jars of paint that lay across our tables. And although our hobby
tends to be solitary, ask any modeler what aspect of the hobby that they
enjoy the most and they often answer that it is the socialization; the club
nights, the shows and contests - the sharing of ideas and the camaraderie
found in the company of like-minded individuals discussing modeling. It is
in this same spirit of community, the sharing of ideas and techniques that
brought into life The Weathering Magazine.
Welcome to this “Greatest Hits”issue of The Weathering Magazine, a
special edition sampling of articles chosen from the magazines two year
history. The concept behind The Weathering Magazine is simple; inspire
by showing models finished to the highest level and then explain the te-
chniques and methods used to create these scale-model masterpieces. As
the name indicates, the focus of The Weathering Magazine is the “finish”,
and when we talk about finish we are speaking primarily of replicating the
effects of Mother Nature on our models. And, while we appreciate every
aspect of scale modeling, we choose to focus primarily upon the final finish.
And why do we do this? Because we know that it can be very disappointing
to invest a lot of time and talent into building the perfect model only to be
let down at the end due to poor painting and weathering. Our goal is to
help modelers be successful in every aspect of modeling; from the opening
the box to the final presentation.
Our magazine explores the natural elements and special themes in a com-
plete, issue-by-issue approach with each issue being specifically devoted
to a particular topic. In the past we have explored Dust, Rust, Snow, Mud
and Water – just to name a few. Within each issue you will be treated to
stunning examples as presented by some of the worlds most accomplished
and recognized modelers. The processes, techniques and tools are well
documented throughout each article with clear photos and concise cap-
tions ensuring that you will easily understand and incorporate these ideas in
your own work. But, more than just another collection of beautiful images
the Weathering Magazine’s thematic issues allow you to build an impor-
tant and useful reference library. Perhaps you are looking for a little help
creating a dusty surface; simply flip through the pages of Issue 2, The Dust
Issue. Maybe you are creating a muddy road for a diorama, Issue 5, The
Mud Issue, is full of helpful techniques. Over time, both your resources and
your skills will grow giving you confidence in creating your own beautiful
scale model masterpieces.
From the staff of The Weathering Magazine we trust that you will enjoy
this “Greatest Hits” look at our magazine. Thank you and happy modeling.
