This issue will bring you step by step articles focused on recycling models: breathing new life into your old and out-of-date models. Perhaps your skills have developed since you finished them, or perhaps you want a new challenge with minimum expenditure or assembly. Through the inspiring work done by our collaborators, you will learn how to strip & rework your models with examples of successfully recycled and restored models.

    Some of these models were first completed 20 years ago, with hobbyists who have developed since then. This issue is all about applying your growing knowledge as modellers to old kits and getting new enjoyment from completed works. Recycling old kits also presents us with a perfect opportunity to try new techniques and methods with a lesser risk. This all takes less effort and expenditure than assembling, painting & weathering a new kit from the beginning!
