I cheered with delight* as I dragged an old box out of the shed to discover some of my old White Dwarf magazines from 1990 / 1991 published by Games Workshop.
These were some of the issues that got me into this model making lark in the first place. It was the articles that these magazines contained that taught me how to model, something until then I had only ever marvelled at.
I’ve not yet found all the missing magazines from that era, but I thought I’d give some credit to the articles that first got me started. I would love to see a special book printed containing all these articles collected together because they were so well written and presented.
I’m still missing the issue with the coaching inn. I know it must be around somewhere. I am going to keep looking. The article collection I was particularly interested in was “The Modelling Workshop” by Dave Andrews and Phil Lewis (unless otherwise stated)
Issue 132 December 1990 – Hills and Mines.
Issue 133 January 1991 - Fences, Walls and Hedges.
Issue 135 March 1991 – Ruined Temple.
I started this project but never got round to finishing it. I also discovered my half build ruined temple, and here are the pieces of that project.
Something else I will now get finished.
Issue 137 May 1991 – Fantasy Town House.
This one I did build from and here is the actual town house I made. I’ve recently started to build more of these style buildings based on photos I’ve taken on my travels.
Let’s see what happens with the new buildings.

(*) Ok So I cheered to myself and didn’t scare the neighbours any more so than usual.

I remember these issues, back when they were a better read.
ReplyDeleteYay old White Dwarfs are pretty cool. I was a subscriber back in the late 80's early 90's and remember some of these issues. I recently bought a current issue and although the whole magazine was slickly presented and colourful, it just wasn't as interesting to read for the 'outsider' And by outsider I mean someone over 14 who doesn't play one of the GW stable of games.
ReplyDeleteI used to love getting those thorugh the letterbox. The was the era that Iw as a subscriber too. Happy Days!
