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. [...]

‘What is Gundam?’ article for ModelÃr™ »

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

So this article describes in brief, what Gundam is and what kinds of [...]

01.06.08 » Source, Concepts & 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 [...]

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 [...]
