My Work is Being Published!

Post by jkim »

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you know that one of the builds that I've shared here at SPAM will be the subject of an online publication.

Image

Honestly, I felt kinda weird when I was approached by KLP Publishing to do this. I don't think of myself as a great modeler, especially compared with many of the modelers who share their work on the internet. But I thought the Ta152H build turned out ok, especially given the struggles that I encountered along the way so I agreed to do this.

The book is in the final stages of editing and will probably be available to the public in September. I don't expect many copies to be sold being such a niche within a niche topic so I'm hanging on to my day job. :grin: But I'm glad that I'll have something tangible from this hobby that I can share with family and friends. I'm planning on printing out a nice hard copy of the book as a memento.

For anyone that is interested in this future e-book or others in the series, more details can be found at the KLP Publishing website...

Congratulations! That is quite an honor! Well deserved, too!

Congratulations John! Your work is more than worthy of being published.

Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Well, the model IS good, but the writing you add to your reports here is maybe even more important! Kudos!

Seen much worse builds published on shiny paper. This is for sure a book I'd buy.
Well deserved, John!
Cheers,
Torben
