Xtreme Modelling 9 Winter 2005
Issue
by G. C. Davidson
Kicking off their Third Year, Xtreme Modelling Issue 9 gives us a great
issue with some 60 pages of beautifully photographed, full colour articles,
all printed in a handy landscape format.
This articles in this issue focus on modellers and exhibits from Euromilitaire,
and includes armour models such as a Panther Prototype (DB) by Carlos
Bravo and Joaquin Gazquez; a winter SdKfz 234/1 by Jorge Lopez, a small
scale SAM-2 by Ricardo Ruiz, and a post-war British DUKW by Jorge Lopez
and Mig.
Also included is Per Olav Lund's stunning Minenhund diorama - a silver
medal winner at Euro, and one that we got to see unfold on the Constructive
Comments DG here at ML. Last up is a figure painting exercise by Jaume
Ortiz and Daniel Alfonsa, who present a detailed article on painting the
face and uniform of a German Tank Crewman – no less than 34 steps
are illustrated in this excellent reference. While all the articles may
seem a bit "light" on text descriptions, this is more than made
up for in the many step-by-step photographs all the authors use to describe
their techniques.
The issue concludes with show pictures from both Euromilitaire 2004 and
Euroma 2004.
