If you haven't yet tried the fun hobby of scale model building, it's never too late. The folks at AMAZING FIGURE MODELER help make it easier for you to build kits out of the box, as well as offer hints and tricks to inspire. Their latest issue (#68) is a special on H.P. Lovecraft and can be purchased HERE.
From the publisher:
The stars are right and everything is in alignment for our H.P. Lovecraft special issue of Amazing Figure Modeler magazine! It's time to put the dusty books down, pick up the glue and get set for grotesquely misshapen behemoths, destroyers of worlds, and freakishly warped beings that your feeble, model-minded psyche simply cannot comprehend! Our swirling Kosmic Kit-fest salute to H. P. Lovecraft's horrific nightmares kicks off with a story that'll feature the top Lovecraftian kits as well as the back history regarding one of the most significant 20th-century authors of weird horror fiction, H.P. Lovecraft. Also slated are instructional articles on kits from the likes of the Gecco Corp, Reaper Miniatures, and Black Heart Models. Texas' favorite sons, The Shiflett Bros. will also be on hand with an inspiring and detailed sculpting article on the Great Old One himself, Cthulhu. Here’s a question for you- what if H.P. Lovecraft fell into a rabbit hole and landed in Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland? David Fisher discovers the answer with Absolem and the Sultan…(you’ll just have to see for yourself!) Dagon it! This is the issue you’ve been waiting for, so pack your bags and set sail for Innsmouth and issue #68! It’s sure to be a tantalizingly tentacled treat! Won’t you join us in the face of unspeakable cosmic horrors that apparently exist "outside" of the normal model kit continuum? Trust us, there's madness between the pages and you won't want to miss it!
