Love it. I don't have much to compare to other than AK's Weathering Magazine (which I've come to hate, and feel like each issue is the instructional manual for their products â€" I mean, a whole issue on how to chip? How many ways can you do tutorials for salt chipping or Worn Effects? 1, but they've got ~80 pages of it). Generally I've found that most any tutorial is always better on YouTube (as you get to see the modeller doing it) and for this reason I don't buy these types of mags.

However, SMA Mag is superbly done. The print quality is great, the tutorials are very thorough and helpful, and more importantly the content is interesting and diverse. And more importantly, I'll be signing up for a subscription once the shop has subscription starting with issue 2.

Also thanks for not including daft photos of half naked girls waving machine guns around. It's nice to see less BroDudeâ"¢ and can be inclusive to members of both sexes.

Cheers,

Derek.

Again, great magazine!
