Plastic Ship Modeler: Issue 23

By: Shane Jenkins

Yet again PSM has delivered the goods with the following outstanding articles:

• Falk Pletscher tackles the ICM 1/350 Konig - this is a must read for anyone building this kit.
  
• Loren Perry builds the Academy/Minicraft 1/350 Titanic.
  
• Ray Bean builds the Corsair Armarda 1/700 USS Garcia
  
• Yet another fabulous diorama featuring the WEM 1/700 HMS Penelope by Chris Drage (where's that bloody finger vice, mate).
  
• Dan Jones continues his look at merchant ships with an article on Motor Ships between the wars
  
• Ray Bean gives us a photofeature on the USS Albany & sister USS Columbus.
  
  Plus all the usual columns:
  
  
• Navinfotel - Ray Bean looks at current naval news
  
• One to One Hundred by Paul Jacobs - This deals with all the latest news on the 1/1200/1250 range of miniatures.
  
• Book reviews Letter's page.
  

I have to add my voice to others, in that the photo quality keeps getting better & better. It's nearly up to the standard which the writing (which imho is by far the more important) deserves. As an Asst editor of a print model magazine myself, I can really appreciate the hassles in getting good quality photo results on a limited budget. I especially like the addition of pictures of the photoetched and resin add-on products reviewed.

My only reservation is an article which does seem to blur the lines between a modelling article and an advertisment. This is, however, a personal preference which may not be so important for other readers and apart from this the article is excellent and highly recommended as is the whole magazine.
