The Learning Curve
Hey.
This afternoon, I received (as my assignment as a member of the IPMS/USA Reviewer Corps) a copy of the January 2006 issue of Model Art magazine. And so, I've been spending the afternoon and evening pouring over it and attempting to decipher things from it.
It goes into some detail on the making of the movie Men of Yamato, which is a retelling of the final voyage of the battleship of WW2.
There are numerous other interesting things about this magazine, but I've already written the review...and I'll link to it when IPMS/USA puts that on their website.
Anyway, this magazine reminds me of my first days trying to learn Japanese with few aids, from reading magazines like this one. I still have my first: a Hobby Japan from around 1987. While I think I've come a long way...I'm still nowhere near satisfied about my knowledge of the language. This new magazine has been a welcome reality check for me.
