Vallejo Acrylics, the well-known Spanish manufacturer of modeling products, in collaboration with the military modeling magazine, Xtreme Modeling, wants to sponsor a modeling contest for three purposes:

1) To promote the different Vallejo Acrylics product ranges used in modeling:
- Model Air
- Model Color
- Panzer Aces
- Pigments
- Additional Products

2) To study the suggestions made by the contestants about new colors or products they consider suitable for modelers.

3) To use the constructive criticism that the modelers provide on the forums during the contest to improve their products as much as possible.

There are two categories(Master and Open), 1,600.00 euros in cash prizes and 300.00 euros Vallejo Acrylics products.

You can see the contest rules in the Group Builds.

I encourage you to take part.

Wrong picture: Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s

2010-02-23T15:46:00.015Z

In the page 90 of the book Tiger & Variants Volume 2 (issue 4 from the series Elements in Combat) there is a mistake with a picture. The picture and model of the destroyed Pz.Kpfw. IV is by Mig Jimenez, not by Adam Wilder. The pictures for authors' profile of both modelers were in the same folder and we had a confusion, so I apologize to both of them.
Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s

By the way, Mig Jimenez tell in his blog: that he never sent us that picture but he is wrong this time because he forgets he sent us the picture in the Spring 2008 for his author profile in the book Painting and Displaying Military Models (from the series The Spanish Way).

Again I apologize for the mistake.

New format, new price (48 pages, 10.00€)

2009-07-09T10:12:00.000Z

We are starting a new period in Xtreme Modelling with this issue and we hope it will be as brief as possible. I can say that the bad world economy is affecting everybody and it has made us realise that we need to reduce the price of the magazine, and the only way for us to achieve this goal is to reduce the number of pages. However, we believe the contents of the magazine don't need to be reduced in the same proportion, so I have taken on two challenges in this issue: one, if the prize and size of the magazine have been reduced a quarter, the contents will be in minor proportion; and two, to increase the quantity of pages as soon as possible, and keeping this current price. I hope our readers around the world will understand the delicate situation we are operating in nowadays.

Groups Build by Xtreme Modelling

2006-11-15T13:43:00.000Z

We introduce you the Groups Build by Xtreme Modelling.
The idea is to share on-line the experience of building the same kit (or almost). This isn't a modeling course, but we hope everybody learn of the rest. To share information, pictures, profiles, ideas, tricks and skills so much in building as painting is the goal of this inititative.

There will be 3 or 4 forums in active at the same time and we are going to start with one of the vehicles I like very much: the StuGs.

In Christmas we will active the second one, dedicated to the soviet (or ex-soviet) vehicles of any time.
