Verlinden Magazines?
Posted by Lacquer Head on Friday, May 29, 2009 12:58 PM
While looking thru a used book store, I found a whole box full of these magazines. I'm not a book collector (I have limited space). I do buy books that help to improve my modelling skills. Should I buy these magazines?

I've  got a stack of them. They came out in the early to mid- 90's.  All color, good print, clear photos.  They had lots of real nice reference on uniforms and equipment, subjects varied per issue.  Lots of built kits and dioramas, mostly of the Verlinden style, the fad of the time, just as is the heavily chipped up stuff right now.  Some how to articles.  There really wasn't much else published on armor at that time, Military Modelling from England was about it, a few hit and miss magazines.  They were nice for their time.  There were interesting editorials from Mr. Verlinden and Mr. Letterman about the state of the hobby in each one.  They did provide lots of ideas for me.  Yeah if the price was right, I'd consider them.  That is up to you.
