January is the time for a fresh start, so whether you’re trying something new or can’t wait to continue on your miniature journey, we are here to be your guide! On page 12 Sadie Brown connects with Carol Kubrican of True2Scale as she shows her cosy 1/48th scale kit that embraces the world of hygge – a Scandinavian word for a sense of cosiness with feelings of contentment and being in the moment. Perfect for re-setting and re-charging in January. Sadie Brown also celebrates the new year with her new series; each issue she will be celebrating an event of that month with a mini cake! 
Throughout the issue we take a look at nature, with step by step projects to help you capture some of nature’s beauty. Ruth Flewelling Lesbirel demonstrates in not one but two projects how to make some pretty blooms; a four tier plant stand and a selection of amaryllis. On page 28, see the art of nature take flight – literally- in small scale with Laura Brownhill with her collection of wonderful birds. 
There are so many more fascinating reads, more projects, and more competitions!
