subjects

In the model building reports, pictures and texts are used to describe how a particular model is assembled, which details have been changed and how color, signs of age and wear have been applied to the models. The magazine also contains color profiles and historical data on the originals of the models.
There are also articles on international model making events, museums or reenactment events. A discussion of innovations and new specialist literature is also an integral part of Steelmaster.
