Toy Soldier Collector International

Toy Soldier Collector International prides itself on being the "go to" magazine for collectors of toy and model figures of all shapes and sizes. Primarily focused on figures around 1:32nd scale (the traditional collectable "toy soldier" size) the magazine also covers larger kits and smaller (down to 40mm) figures. TSCI encompasses in-depth reviews on all recent releases within the hobby of toy soldier collecting, from the “high end” pre-painted museum quality metal figurines through to the unpainted plastic figures still played with today by both children and adults, and of course everything in between.

Whether your interest is to simply collect stunning models straight “out of the box”, or you want to paint your own figures and kits, or even do a little wargaming, then TSCI has something for you. Alongside the myriad of reviews and news, written by some of the hobby's most respected reviewers, TSCI also features stunning full colour articles covering both military history (illustrated with figures and original photographs) and articles on the history of the hobby, from makers no longer in production and antique figures through to insights on today's manufacturers, retailers and global events/shows.

TSCI really is your “one stop shop” for everything military (and civilian/fantasy) figure related!

British Railways Illustrated
   
Available now from Guideline Publications
BRITISH RAILWAYS ILLUSTRATED, now approaching its 30th year and long known by its cheerful acronym 'BRILL'. Colour cover, 56 pages of text and, typically, 60-70 high quality black and white images. There are maps and plans/diagrams in most issues. 'History with a good helping of nostalgia' is its hallmark with some humour thrown in; concentrates on the steam and early modernisation era of British Railways, 1948 to the 1970s (diesel and electric) but also features subjects and themes from the 1930s and the Second World War. Locomotives and locomotive workings feature prominently but there are always items on rolling stock, buildings, bridges, track and signalling as well as human/social aspects. Lively letters pages keep the readership involved.

Railway Bylines
   
Available now from Guideline Publications
RAILWAY BYLINES, now in its 25th year. Colour cover, 56 pages of text and, like British Railways Illustrated, some 60-70 high quality black and white images. There are maps and plans/diagrams in most issues. Subject matter is wide ranging and the BYLINES in the title is very deliberate; homely branch lines serving villages and country towns, industrial lines serving mills, foundries, works, quarries, mines and ports, together with their often ancient locomotives and their correspondingly elderly and eccentric stock.  Both standard and narrow gauge with occasional Irish subjects. Most frequently portrayed period is the 1950s-1960s before such workings and lines began to disappear, though occasionally earlier eras are covered. Editorial is wide-ranging - buildings, stock, structures, social/human aspects and so on - history/nostalgia with a light touch that matches its often out-of-the-way, off-beat subjects.

This series of books has the exceptional editorial and production quality along with the expertise of our authors you demand from Guideline Publications

Aircraft in Profile is a monthly section occupying the centre pages of Scale Aircraft Modelling magazine providing an initial 'first step' in researching an aircraft type, and is aimed at those readers who have had little previous interest in its subject, rather than those with expert knowledge. The section outlines the history and development of its chosen type providing a context for a modelling project, while the plans and drawings are designed to expand upon this and we hope we hope will be of use or interest to both modellers and aviation enthusiasts alike Volume Two is out now US Navy and AirForce subjects following a number of requests to provide the material in book form.

Atlantic Resolve: Nato's show of strength in Europe 2014 -2020 by Gary Hatcher  Atlantic Resolve is a response to Russia's actions in Ukraine, mainly the war in Donbass, and is funded under the European Reassurance Initiative. The US took several immediate steps to demonstrate solidarity with NATO, such as augmenting the air, ground and naval presence in the region, and enhancing previously scheduled exercises. The US is taking measures to improve NATO military plans and defence capabilities, and remains committed to maintaining a persistent presence in Central and Eastern Europe. This second Guideline in Action looks at the US Air Force's recent deployments in support of Atlantic Resolve, US Army aviation assets, and multinational training exercises, as well as the transport and logistics efforts behind the maintenance of the front line squadrons.

Fall of Iron: Light and Medium Boombee Aircraft of WW2 by Gary Hatcher andChris Meddings  Fall of Iron is the first in a series of compendium volumes covering military aircraft with a focus on some of the less well-covered subjects. The series is designed to offer a brief one-stop historical reference combined with colour artwork and is aimed primarily scale modellers but offers plenty for the general aviation enthusiast too. This first volume looks at some of the twin-engined medium bombers of World War Two and includes a selection of profiles written by Richard Mason, as well as a ground-breaking piece of research on the early B-25 Mitchell by Brian Derbyshire that offers an incisive look into the business of wartime mass-production and the vast number of changes to the ensuing airframes brought about as a result of ongoing combat experience. Other aircraft covered include the rarely discussed Tupolev SB-2, the Mitsubishi G4M Betty, Bristol Blenheim, Savoia-Marchetti SM.79, Petylyakov Pe-2 and the Handley Page Hampden. Many of these aircraft have been overlooked as 'also-rans' by history and the scale modelling community but an examination of similar types designed for similar roles from various Axis and Allied air forces demonstrates just how much aircraft development kept pace during the conflict, and how despite their clear external differences aircraft designers all over the World were drawing the same conclusions as a result of experience gained in a shooting war.
