After many months of planning, design, and conversation with modelers across the community, we’re pleased to share a preview of the relaunched Ships in Scale magazine.

This six-page preview offers a glimpse of what’s ahead: a refreshed design, a clear editorial point of view, and a renewed commitment to serving ship modelers of all experience levels. Our goal is a publication with lasting value—one that informs, inspires, and earns a place on your workbench and bookshelf.

Ships in Scale will feature in-depth build articles, thoughtful how-to guidance, historical context, and regular contributions from modelers and historians who know the craft firsthand. While kits will be a natural starting point for many stories, the magazine will also make room for advanced techniques, scratch building, and the artistry that defines the hobby at its highest levels.

This preview represents the opening pages of our first issue and the beginning of a new chapter for a magazine with a long and respected history. We hope it gives you a sense of where we’re headed—and invites you to be part of it.

Thank you for reading, and welcome aboard.
