| Last Month we looked at a new Ship Modeling magazine, this month we
take a look at one that's been around for a few years. Plastic Ship Modeler
is a published four times a year, with content geared toward the Ship Modeler
wanting to go beyond the out of the box approach to Modeling. New modeler's
will be amazed by the Kits and resources available out there to the Ship
modeler. One of my favorite things about Plastic Ship Modeler is the fantastic
cover art that Editor Daniel Jones creates. Click the thumbnail image to

| Plastic Ship Modeler covers all the new releases and includes buildup
articles and Ship plans. Features include Mail call where you can get some
of those tough questions answered. Articles such as the buildup of the
Corsair Armada ARD Floating Drydock with the Jim Shirley FRAM Gearing by
Ray D. Bean. Most issues also include plans for building and detailing
some of our favorite Ships. |

|
| A fairly regular feature in Plastic Ship Modeler is coverage of the
Diorama's of Chris Drage. Chris has a way of putting his ships in motion,
capturing them in dramatic poses. Look for other great photo's of other
modeler's work in the contest coverage included in most issues. Besides
the modeling articles, you can keep up with current events in the Naval
world with the NAVINFOTEL column. |

| From cover to cover you will find nothing but Ship related content.
Even in this digital age with so many resources available on the net, there
is no replacement for the old fashioned printed media that you can take
with you. I do wish that PSM would consider publishing in color, and of
course more often. All things considered, It is a must have magazine that
no ship modeler should be without. Pick up a copy at your local Hobby Shop
or visit the Plastic Ship Modeler Webpage
for subscription details. |
