‘Patrol In the Debris Field’ in Modelář »

Posted on Saturday, June 14, 2008, 8:09 pm, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under Magazine Articles, Modeling.

My article for Patrol in the Debris Field, my Zero-G dual MaK Fireball SG diorama will be in the latest release of Modelář. As usual it’s in the Czech language, but still a great magazine with a LOT of talented contributors. Here’s the layouts of my pages as well as the cover of this issue.
I’m [...]

‘What is Gundam?’ article for ModelÃr™ »

Posted on Monday, February 18, 2008, 4:50 pm, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under Magazine Articles, Modeling.

Since the magazine focuses on military modeling, many of their readers don’t know what this crazy Gundam thing is all about. So this article describes in brief, what Gundam is and what kinds of [...]

Initial Scratchbuilding
The Dunehopper was starting to burn me out and
Christmas business left me with a few weeks without modeling.
Instead of going back to the DH, while almost done but close
to burning me out, I decided to start on something new and
“easy” to regain my modeling mental health. The
MaK suit kits are [...]

Gone Fishing in Modelář Extra Edition! »

Posted on Friday, November 2, 2007, 8:22 am, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under Magazine Articles, Modeling.

A while back when I had finished up my 1/35 Scale Hovertruck Diorama titled Gone Fishing, I posted it at a number of forums. The editor of the fantastic Czech language military modeling magazine Modelář loved it and asked me to write an article on the build-up. I don’t write or speak Czech, but that [...]
