Model Military International Print Magazine

Model Military International (MMI) magazine is by far one of the best publications on the open market, when it comes to building military models. This magazine gives the reader a first hand, in depth look, at building your military model. The magazine offers various periods of history for the model builder to choose from. There are "builds" from WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Arab/Israeli Wars, "The Cold War" periods, as well as today's modern conflicts.Each of the articles submitted, "shows and tells" how the model builder assembled his/her model. The builder explains some of the history involved with their model, sets the tone of the model(diorama setting), and then goes into detail about how and what steps were taken to build that model, using the "kits" supplied parts and/or some of today's "aftermarket" products.After market products are items that were produced, after a model was released. Examples of this would be Resin parts,Photoetch metal, etc. all used to enhance the look of your model. The builder then explains (thru written text) to the reader, how they built the base(used to display the model), then a step by step how-to paint, and finally, a how to give that "weathered" look to your finished project.I have purchased this magazine in my hobby shop, and now I own a subscription. This magazine is a must have for anyone who is interested in military model building.Michael

Helpful builds and reviews.

I was a big fan of this magazine from its begining in either 06 or 07. I own every issue up until about 6 months agao when it lost the last of its luster. The magazine was great, excellent articles, varied time periods, scales and most important: contributers. Since the last editor has come aboard it seems as if the magazine showcases his work almost exclusivly. I do appreciate the quality of his work but have no desire to pay money to see how he builds free samples or rare and sometimes unattainable models month after month. If I wanted that I would still be reading MMIR, but they went down a similar path.For the money there are many better publications. I was sorry to leave the magazine after so many years but a guy can only stand so much.

Hard to find magazine......love my subscription.

To increase my knowledge of modeling

terrific magazine for the militay modeler order direct or from amazon...stay away from Wise Owl publication in california...they will take your money and provide you with nothing but problems trying to get delivery of it
