Zur Geschichte des Kartonmodellbaus - Additions and Corrections

Zur Geschichte des Kartonmodellbaus - vol. 25

The article starting on page 31 reports on Alvar Hansen. Unfortunately, a source reference to an earlier article about Alvar Hansen was omitted during the finalization of the issue. A retrospective by Gunnar Sillén, titled "Im Gedenken an Alvar Hansen (1960–2011)", was published the year after his death on pages 39 - 44 in ZGK 12, Aue-Verlag Möckmühl, 2012.

Starting on page 51, the publisher "effekt Kartonmodellbau Weimar" is introduced. From around 1997, numerous model sheets were constructed in the common model railway scales. Only a summarized sheet list could be published in this issue. Therefore, the last model list compiled by Effekt-Verlag is provided here, with illustrations for each sheet and information on the model size. These models can currently still be ordered via the email address dieter.trimpert@t-online.de.

Zur Geschichte des Kartonmodellbaus - vol. 24

In this issue, as a supplement to the article in ZGK 16, another publication appeared on "Paper Models International (PMI)". This time the focus was on the designers associated with this publisher. Doug Emmons wrote an article about his design of the Vultee P-66 Vanguard in 1/24 scale in the model making magazine "FineScale Modeler", issue January/February 1984. This article is available online in its original English version. As a service to our German readers, we are providing a translation of this article into German, here as a PDF file, made with the help of Google Translate and revised by Axel Huppers.

Zur Geschichte des Kartonmodellbaus - vol. 8

Right from the start the layout-and-typesetting software "PageMaker" was used for the prepress stage of the AGK magazines. When working on the the article about the publisher MON (Poland) we observed that the program did not render correctly the diacritical marks used in the Polish language. We found that we would have to switch to "Indesign". Unfortunately, converting the layout to Indesign set the layout askew, and we had to re-format and re-align it manually. In the process we made errors – not distorting the core content, but very annoying nevertheless. In addition, some illustration files had been re-linked wrongly. We are sad to say that in the hurry to get the magazine vol. 8 to the printers' we missed some of these late errors. We offer a PDF file (665 kB) for download that contains all corrections and that also has the correct illustrations.
