complemented with additional information useful to
scale modelers such as trip reports, upcoming events,
shows and contests, and new product information.
Our efforts to bring
SMQ

of our hobby, and we strive to publish the definitive
magazine for and by modelers.
If you model aircraft, armor, automobiles, figures,
ships, or any other subject, you’re part of the
SMQ
community. Whether you’re just getting back into
the hobby or have been at it since you could glue
two pieces of plastic together, we would love to
hear your voice as a contributor. As a subscriber,
we hope you will continually
find useful content within
the pages of
SMQ.
We’re
also proud to have Matthew
Cottrell on board as our
senior editor. Matthew has
spent the last year building
kits, writing reviews, and honing his editorial skills
on scale modeling articles. We’re excited for you to
experience all that
SMQ
will become in the future. I
hope that you enjoy our premier issue and invite you
to become part of the ever-growing community at
SMQmag.com.

letter from the editor
It’s Always
PERFECT
by Matthew Cottrell
in the Box
Building a publication is a lot like
building a model kit. You spend a great
deal of thought and time on selecting
the right subject, the best kit, and the
most appealing paint scheme, but in
the end, the project only truly begins
to come to life once the first part is
snipped from the sprue.
’m excited to welcome you to the premier issue
of
Scale Modeling Quarterly.
It’s taken a great
deal of effort and energy to define a style and
direction for this new magazine. Our goal is to speak
to the reader at every step of their journey in scale
modeling by presenting high quality, photo-rich
articles.
There is a bit
of wisdom that
Wisdom from modeling:
circles through
a kit is only ever perfect
the

community: a
great
model
you start building.
kit is the most
perfect it’s ever going to be about five minutes before
you start building it. The simple act of working on
a project reshapes even the best laid plans. This is
true of any magazine as well, and we look forward
to growing and changing based on what you, the
reader and contributor, want to see.
In a very real way,
SMQ
belongs to you, our
community of readers and subscribers. The content
will come from the ranks of your peers, perhaps
even yourself. We’re looking for your submissions
for articles, builds, tips and tricks, along with
outstanding step-by-step photography.
Our submission guidelines can be found at
SMQmag.com, and I’m personally looking forward
to hearing and discussing your ideas for
SMQ.
Even
if you’re not interested in submitting an article,
let me know what you’d like to see in your dream
modeling magazine. Simply e-mail me at editor@
SMQmag.com.
Finally, I’d like to extend my personal thanks to
Joe Marranca,
SMQ’s
publisher. Joe is the driving
force behind this journal, and without his vision,
dedication, and passion, the issue you’re reading
today wouldn’t exist. I hope you enjoy this first issue
of
Scale Modeling Quarterly!
