This is my second review of Sci-fi & fantasy modeller and I am a bit disappointed. I like to challenge myself to present a balanced review of the Good, Bad and Ugly and at the same time keep it very objective. However, as in my first review, I can not find any Bad or Ugly to report on. Once again, the fine editorial staff and writers have produced a magazine filled with a variety of high quality articles produced on high quality materials and definitely worth the purchase price.
The publication consists of 100 pages, about 7 X 10 inches on heavy stock semi-glossy paper. The isssue is very article dense with only a few advertisements with over 98% of the page space being given over to relevant content.
This contains artist sketches and models used to produce the book "2001: Filming the Future" by Piers Bizony. (An authoritive and complete source of information on Stanley Kubrick's 1968 epic, 2001: A Space Odyssey)
This is the build of a 63 part resin and metal 1:12 scale iconic Time Machine from The Time Machine movie. It is a through kit review and finish with progress and final photos. The model is finely detailed and placed in a diorama of the movie's workshop.
This is an interesting and enjoyable read and the variety of "builds", creative designs and scratchbuilds is a big plus. I highly recommend this publication for the mix of high quality articles that demonstrate different aspects of modeling and the behind the scenes creative process and execution.
Thanks to Happy Medium Press and IPMS USA for the opportunity to review this excellent magazine.
