It covers a wide range of topics, including the history of scale modeling, the development of new materials and techniques, and the impact of technology on the hobby. The book also delves into the psychology of scale modeling, examining why people are drawn to this activity and what it can tell us about human nature. The Plot of FineScale Modeler 201903: In the year 2019, the world is facing an unprecedented crisis. Climate change, political polarization, and technological disruption have created a perfect storm of challenges that threaten the very survival of our species. Amidst this chaos, a small but dedicated community of scale modelers has been quietly working away, crafting intricate miniatures of tanks, airplanes, and spaceships with painstaking attention to detail. Their work may seem trivial to some, but it holds the key to understanding the process of technology evolution and the need for a personal paradigm to perceive the modern knowledge-developing process. As we delve deeper into the world of scale modeling, we discover that this seemingly innocuous hobby has much to teach us about the human condition. We meet John, a retired engineer who has spent decades building intricate models of World War II tanks, each one more detailed and refined than the last. We learn how his passion for scale modeling has helped him cope with the loss of his wife and how it has given him a sense of purpose in his twilight years. We also meet Sarah, a young artist who uses scale modeling as a way to express her creativity and connect with others in a rapidly changing world.
