Starting off as a place to show my 2000AD-themed projects, its mutated into a diary of what i'm up to in the SF & Fantasy modelling hobby. And the odd rant, review and ramble.

Top Five Craft - #4
Number 4 for this classic. Thought it appropriate to let this excellent video (scroll down to the bottom for the full version) of the recently restored original to show why its there. 'Nuff said.
Totally agree. And we can never learn enough about it as it appeals on every level. Its a real shame - i wanted to have multiple articles over the course of many issues of Bowerhouse where Martin gives the definitive account of just what he did for the main model, the Engine Room, Docking Arm, Kane's burial shroud and escape hatch etc, going into the minutest detail on kit parts etc. But the fiming and modelmaking was done under the strictest of secrecy with no photography allowed (although, as we all know, many were sneakily taken) outside of offical pics. Which means no work in progress shots. Apart from one model, which i'm hoping will be in Issue 5...
Born '62, growing old but not up. Ex-Projectionist.
Fan of decent film, especially 50's SF, Universal and Hammer horrors, the shorts of Laurel & Hardy. Love the British boys comics i grew up on, special effects in any form, history, mythology, fantasy and cheese.
