This is an amazing military model magazine that focuses on ground combat vehicles. The magazine is high quality, and the images are sharp; in short, this is a joy to read and get inspiration through the beautiful builds within its glossy pages. As you can see from the topics, they are varied and are written about or showcase some of the preeminent modelers of our time. If you attended the Diorama Bases class by Rick Lawler at the recent San Marcos Nats, you could see from his work on the Unimog why he is so talented and in demand (his classes sold out quickly and an additional class was added, also sold out; he also solved the side water dilemma with this diorama!).

While I am one of the readers who enjoys holding a physical copy of what I am reading, the digital subscription is a great option in these days of increased postage and printing costs. I cannot recommend this magazine enough for armor modelers, and I enjoy it so much that I have a subscription.

Profuse thanks to Guideline Publications and IPMS/USA for providing the review sample.
