Wingnut Wings’ Halberstadt ready for takeoff

You may be ready to takeoff too, at least ready to take down that current wallpaper and add a

new one like this beauty of the 1/32 scale Halberstadt CL.II.

You’ll find dozens of computer backgrounds,

like the Halberstadt above, that you can

download for free on FSM’s website. Freshen

your monitor to fire up your inspiration.

Watch Aaron and Elizabeth now!

That’s right, Aaron Skinner and Elizabeth

Nash are giving you a peek inside the box of

the latest kits in our twice–monthly video

review, New Product Rundown.

Finding the right tools

I’ve been doing more model–building over

the past 15 years, and your mag has con-

tributed enormously to my enthusiasm and

to developing my skills. Something I find

intriguing is getting glimpses of other

modelers’ workbenches and equipment,

particularly the repurposing of everyday

objects, and how my own workspace has

similar, often identical odds and ends from

hobby shops, art supply stores, Home

Depot, electronics suppliers, Staples, cos-

metics counters, Safeway, thrift stores, junk

stores, flea markets, toy stores, and dis-

carded food packaging.

I thank FSM for clueing me in to a lot

of this. This also reminds me that, if my

models don’t quite resemble the winners

table at the local IPMS meet, I can’t blame

my tools.
