The IPMSStockholm gives a nice web-zine on their Internet site http://www.ipmsstockholm.org … you might ask yourself if your Swedish language skills are enough to understand their web-zine, but don’t worry, they have a large English section. The Nordics are a bit better in English language like many other countries, largely, I think due to the fact that they do not dub their movies.
But back to the facts … the site is online since 1997 and does have a quite extensive archive of articles about plastic scale modelling. They do offer the web-zine in Swedish and English, a news section, some helpful tips and more …
“Scale” News is the title of their news section. Originally it was started as news and blog section, but it seems that it became largely an announcement board for the release of the magazine.
“The Magazine” is the section which brought me to the site. Large archive and loads of articles about plastic scale modelling … nothing more to add.
The reference pages are titled “Helpdesk” and do include colour reference charts, reference pictures about modelling topics sorted by topic and country and explanations about various skills you might require.
A quite extensive listing of European shops is available in the section “Shop Guide” again nicely sorted by Country (in alphabetical order). I would pref a filter option though. They do have a submission form for new entries on their site so go and list your favorite.
The last section of interest is the “Archive” which brought me there … it features all the articles that have been made available through their site.
Then they do have a forum (sort of a must, isn’t it?) with a language mix of Swedish and English and some Swedish only section about the IPMS Stockholm.
