Title: Robin Hunt - Spanish Civil War - Mil Modelling
Post by: MrJ on 01 December 2024, 05:16:07 PM
Hi,
This is a shot in the dark but was wondering if anybody could help. My current venture into 10mm SCW is hugely inspired by nostalgic memories of a series of I think three articles by Robin Hunt in Mil Mod, back in the day. (Possibly 1985). Three articles as I recall on his 1/72 venture using Airfix plastics and possibly a later article about 1/200.

Does anybody know thevmonths in which these came out so I can chase up back issues online. Sadly my own copies thrown out years ago and would like to find replacement issues.

Many thanks.

It's purely for nostalgia. Have managed to obtain the info on the initial series of three articles (volume 14, issues 10,11,12. October, November and December 1984). The subsequent article on creating a 10mm Spanish terrain is proving more difficult to trace.

Any pointers appreciated on a little bit of SCW gaming history.

P.s a big thanks to Robin (I think sadly passed) for kickstarting my fascination in the period.

I googled it. This one offers both print and digital copies.

Many thanks indeed fsn, I will follow up your lead and try to get hold of the issues. It would mean a lot to me to get hold of them again.

Cheers
