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 pretty excited to have made the cover and to get a 10-page spread. I recreated my wallpaper image as requested by the editor in a larger scale suitable for print. Anyway, even if you don’t read Czech, check out the mag as it’s got a lot of wonderful build-ups!

After creating my Gone Fishing article for Czech Republic based magazine ModelÃr™, I was asked to write a new short piece. 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 models are available. As usual, it’s been translated into the Czech language, but I’m not allowed to post a large image anyway. They did send me one to scale down for the site though to show what they did with it. Here’s the spread:

About The Build »

I needed a break from a few large scratchbuild projects so I decided to put together my two Fireball SG Space-Type Super Armored Fighting Suits. Then I thought what better way to display them than in their natural environment which is space. The result is the Fireballs soaring through a debris field of destroyed spacecraft.

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 was no problem. I wrote the article in English and they did the translations. I might have overdid it with the article being 11 pages in Word, and I’m sure they had a “fun” time translating all of that, but it was a huge project and they wanted every detail described. It appeared in the current “Extra” issue of the magazine and is available now.

I don’t have the issue yet, but they sent me pics of the article to post provided I shrink them enough to be illegible. Modelář is a well known mag in the military modeling world and is full of fantastic build-ups. There’s not any sci-fi in it so the editor wanted to print my work to show how the same techniques one would use on armor and aircraft can be used to do something different.
