AFM is going spastic for plastic, and you will too once you get a whiff of the petroleum packed lineup of rock-n-roll, horror, sci-fi, superhero and car kits we've got on tap for issue #44! Our grand plastic parade gets off on the right note with a couple of re-issued rockers from Hawk's Weirdo Line, "The Frantics." Next we're breaking out with Revell's Superman and then it's on to some serious sci-fi modeling with an illuminating take on the Moebius Model's Lost in Space "Space Pod." Horror fans can look forward to a customized "Nosferatu," Monarch Models creepy count along with several injected molded nightmares from Moebius', "The Invisible Man" and the "Monster Scenes" kits. Then grab a shovel and meet us at the cemetery to unearth Monogram's radical rod, "The Boot Hill Express." And what's an all styrene issue without an AFM profile on one of the hobby's most dynamic companies, Moebius Models. So whether you're into snappin' sprue off the time worn classics of yesteryear or eradicating seams out of today's hottest releases, get set for another cool issue chock full of the usual modeling mayhem from the folks who put the "Zing" in Amazing!

For Issue #45, we're bustin' out the busts! Get ready for top-heavy resin madness as we lose the legs, amputate the arms, and put those money shot mugs front and center? First we're serving up the nutritious "Breakfast of Champions" from Monster Dork Studios. Next we'll set sail with the "Dark Maiden," an all-new ship's figurehead beauty from Reaper Miniatures. GeoMetric's "The Fly" will get a hair-by-hair makeover and a Playboy bunny shows off two good reasons why she's a bust in more ways than one! Repainting the pre-paints will be the focus of two articles that'll strip down Sideshow's "Nosferatu" and Fewture's Alien busts respectfully. Sculptor Kent Kidwell will provide a step-by-step tutorial on building up your own bust and his "Shadow Host" release will also be featured. Finally watch as we take Howard Senft's one to one scale "James Bond" bust to new heights as a fully realized figure. So get set kit fans as next issue we prune down the plastic and focus on a subject that really is head and shoulders above the rest!
