More Armor please!

Same here Rick!

There seems to be a decent number of armor articles in FSM, considering how many different topics are included in modeling.

What I've always found to be a little odd is how many ship-model articles there are in FSM. I love ship models, but most people build aircraft, military (armor and other land systems), and cars. Ships are a pretty small niche in the hobby.

Thank you AH1Wsnake you hit the nail on the head

Going along with dday's original post...he mentioned dioramas. I think a few articles on building dioramas and simple display bases would be a neat idea. Haven't seen anything on that in the magazine recently. How-to's on groundwork, turf, bushes, trees, scale fences, signs, and simple scratchbuilt buildings and debris would make for some good reading! It's enjoyable to see the finished products of some of the featured master modelers (i.e. 1/16th all-metal Corsair), but give us some practical articles that can give the average Joe something to accomplish!

Personally, I'd like to see more Aircraft .

I can I subscribe to those magazines?

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. The armor guys have been asking for more armor for a long time, but always they're fairly basic articles and fairly limited in their scope, unless you're a beginner. If you're looking for good armor builds, I suggest that you look elsewhere, such as AFV Modeller (one of the best IMHO) and TMMI. Both feature fairly prominent modelers, and each issue will show you at least something new.
