Has it really been a whole year since we published our first Scale Modelling - Step-by-Step? The magazine was hugely successful and received warmly by beginners and those returning to the hobby after a long break, but even old hands found something to inspire them... or valued the reminder of basic skills often forgotten. This year we took the decision to cater for more experienced modellers who wish to up their game' in terms of using after-market products and more advanced techniques. Scenic modelling is something we can all appreciate when studying a well-produced diorama or vignette, and the genre is explored here in terms of methods, scratch-building, weathering and how to portray natural and man-made environments in a convincing manner. Nothing enlivens a good model like a well-executed base and surrounding scenery. Many modellers will acknowledge the fact that our hobby has been invigorated massively by the advent of photo-etched metal and resin detail parts, mixed media kits and other forms of after-market products.
