January — Happy New Year!

Greetings and salutations. Anyone up for some News Year resolutions? I'll go out on a limb again and state my goal is to finish more shelf queens this year. Last year I enjoyed a foray into some new areas (modern U.S. and Iraqi and WWII Russian) and it's refreshed my appreciation for good old olive drab.In the meantime, I've kept the products updated on the site and acquired a few items for review, including MiniArt's welcome U.S. Tank Crew NW Europe and Robert Steinbrunn's pictorial account of his magnificent Building a 1/6 Scale Stuart Tank, published by Schiffer. Bob's step-by-step account of his transformation of this toy is nearly as impressive as the tank itself. And Ed Hall shares his list of drill sizes for MV Lenses.
