Modell fan - german model magazine

Last week while I was visiting Munich, I bought a german model magazine, "modell-fan".



It's the official magazin of the German Association of Plastic Model DPMV, with a
monthly average circulation of 12.000 copies, since 1974.

I am buying this magazine since my first visit to Germany 1985.

News about current model kits, books, every possible model tools are to find in every magazine.

Detailed technology of model building, materials, tools and colors are handled.

In addition, there are step-by-step instructions, construction reports with convertions, book reviews and overviews of resellers.

On September 2009 the earlier publishing house "Bremer Carl Ed. Schünemann Verlag" cancelled his supportship, so the end of the magazine was announced.

Shortly thereafter Münchner GeraMond publishing house took over the magazine.

This new publishing house has the necessary know-how for expanding the magazine, because they have another magazines like "BAHN EXTRA, LOK MAGAZIN, STRASSENBAHN MAGAZIN, FLUGZEUG CLASSIC, AUTO CLASSIC" in their portfolio.

2012 Calendar from Airfix Model World - Month - February

Today it's 1. February and there is a new page with a wonderful picture.



It's a "Vought Kingfisher", which was the shipboard observation aircraft used by the US Navy between 1938 - 1959.

They were best known for their rescue missions in the Pacific, where they found itselves in combat with Zeros.

They were used also in an anti-submarine patrol and were modified with a wheeled undercarriage.


There are additional 3 small pictures in the second half of the February page.

Cardboard model of a roman watchtower from Schreiber!

Last weekend we stayed for 3 days in Berlin and visited meanwhile 2 museums.

Pergamon and historical museum.

After the visit in Pergamon museum we checked the museum shop as usual and I bought a cardboard model from Schreiber-Bogen company. (Their model-branch belongs now to AUE-Verlag GmbH)



Its scale is 1/87, has 2 sheets and its difficulty class is 1.

The dimensions are L:8,W:8,H:13cm.



It costs 3,90 EUR.

This is my first cardboard model and want to compare it with the 1/72 scale soldiers.

Battles of westeros - round - first phase: "Rally phase"!

The first phase in the first round is called “rally phase”.

This phase is executed simultaneously by both players.

In these phase the players perform 3 actions.

1-Determine advantage:

At the beginning of the game, in the first round, it’s written in the battle plan who has the momentum.
But from the second round on, the amount of COMMAND TOKENS


on each players COMMAND BOARD


will be compared and the one with the most COMMAND TOKENS gets the advantage and acts first in the current round.

If there is a tie’ the player with the momentum token wins the tie.

2-Refresh commanders:

Each player takes all COMMAND TOKENS from his COMMANDERS CARDS


and places onto his COMMAND BOX.

3-Rally units:

Each player makes his units active’ so that they can be ordered during the coming COMMAND PHASE.(This will be explained more detailed!)

Never forget while playing your COMMAND TOKENS, that you could be loosing the initiative for the forthcoming round.

This would be important especially in the last 2 rounds.

Should you play defensive or wait till your opponent makes tactic mistakes?

Difficult question; the answer depends on each scenario, I think!

İnternational Toy fair Nürnberg begins!

I hope to report soon more...
