Lets talk about modelling. I don’t mean catwalks or clothes. No, I mean science fiction spaceship modelling. It’s one of the science fiction world’s hidden sub-genres, ruled by uber-nerds who speak in a language that includes words like decaling, putty, weathering and realistic battle damage. Personally I’ve never had the patience for modelling but I admire those who do. The beautifully presented (and expensive) Scifi & Fantasy Modeller magazine demonstrates just how serious the world of sci-fi modelling is.

These blueprints are by Chuck Boie from ‘Famous Spaceships of Fact and Fantasy and How To Model Them’ published in 1979.
