HIS MONTH WE HAVE
SOMETHING OF A
DIORAMA THEME
RUNNING THROUGH
our pages, and in particular we
have Michael Mandau’s incredible
‘Judgement Day 1947’ build,
which is a truly jaw-dropping,
multi-level factory scene, featuring
an E-100 tank, troops and a partly
destroyed building. The attention
to detail is both incredible and
inspiring and shows just what you can archive
with a little imagination and practice. This
diorama is just so good that I have given it
pride of place in the centre of this issue, and
Michael guides you step-by-step though how
he created this work and how you too can
benefit from his expertise. Another big
diorama to look out for
comes from Robin
Gilby who provides
a look at a desert
scene fro

Elsewhere this
at a glance
month we welcome
back Keith Forsyth after a
short sojourn away from our
pages with a brace of truck builds
featuring a ‘GAZ with a Gun’ and a sorry
looking GMC Truck! Kevin Potts provides our
cover feature this month with his Tiger I on
the Ukraine Eastern Front in the spring of
1944, and we welcome Tomasz Lubczy ski
with his 1:72 KV-1, and in our exclusive
Modelling with MIG article, Carlos Cuesta
guides you through painting and detailing a
German PaK 40 gun. So as always there is
something for everyone on SMMI, and
remember we give you more features, more
news and previews than any other military
modelling magazine on the market – by a
long, long way!
Happy Modelling
