Modeller: birth of a notion

For as long as I

can remember

I’ve been fasci-

nated by the art

of recreating ob-

jects in minia-

ture. I grew up

with the TV se-

ries of Gerry An-

derson, and fell

head over heels

with the hard-

ware created

for those pro-

grammes and the way in which the studio miniatures

featured in them had been painstakingly panelled,

weathered and detailed to create the illusion of re-

ality.

Some twenty-plus years ago this passion led to

the publication of

Sci-fi & fantasy models,

a monthly

newsstand magazine created and co-published by

myself and a certain Mr. David Openshaw, business

partner, talented designer and good friend for many

decades as I write this. In 2006 Dave and myself

launched a new title –

Sci-fi & fantasy modeller

– a

quarterly ‘mook’ (half magazine, half book) which is

currently enjoying its 42nd issue and was recently

also made available in digital form.

...And producing a digital version set us to

thinking.

Could our fascination with and love for

all types

modelling possibly allow us to give form, via the

digital platform, to an entirely new type of generic

modelling magazine? Hopefully the volume you’re

viewing at this very moment answers that question

with a solid ‘yes’.

Modeller,

the end product of our

wonderings and of months of development, takes

full advantage of its all-digital format to bring you

not only words and pictures, but hi-def video

sequences and photo galleries too, meaning that,

uniquely, our modeller-writers are also modeller-

presenters, and that not only can you read this mag,

you can also

watch

it. Indeed, Volume 1 contains

hours

of video footage, offering, we hope you’ll

agree, quite a bit of extra bang for your buck.

Modeller’s

tag line is ‘for the love of modelling’ –

chosen because it pretty much sums up the ethos

of the title and our reasons for producing it. We

intend to feature all types of modelling project in

these pages, from IP kits and conversions to

scratchbuilding, diorama builds to film and TV

special FX models. We’ll also approach subjects

from all skill levels, too, so the novice modeller, the

professional, and those of us in between should find

something of interest in each edition. As to subject

matter - well, absolutely nothing is off limits. If it can

be represented in miniature it has a place in this

title...

...As does one other vital concept I’ve forgotten to

mention – one that can be distilled into a single

word:

fun.

After all, that’s what our hobby’s all

about, isn’t it? We therefore hope you’ll have as

much fun reading and watching Volume 1 as we’ve

had putting it together – and that you’ll sense our

writer-presenters are having fun with their projects

and find them fun to tune into.

Thank you for reading this first issue, and please

do join us again in three months time. We’d also be

delighted to hear from you and, if you can build,

write about and video models, no matter what your

specialisation, there might just be an opportunity for

you to join our merry band.

Take care till next time.

Andy Pearson (UK): a mercifully brief biography

being like prostitution, inasmuch

as the freelancer rents by the

hour and the client decides what

he or she is going to do. There is,

however, the saving grace of

being able to say ‘no, thank you’.

There is a degree of similarity

with the model building, as a

significant part of that entails

being presented with a kit and

asked to build and review it. The

chances of me saying ‘no’ in

those circumstances are slim,

although I have been known to

make little mewling noises when

asked to make yet another

Star

Trek

USS Enterprise.

I terms of preferences when it

comes to models I suppose my

first love is scratchbuilding,

which gives free-rein to the

imagination and avoids those

potentially

embarrassing

encounters with well-meaning

people who are keen to point out

that one has missed a rivet off a

turret.

I’ve enjoyed resin, injection

moulded and vac-formed kits and

even, on occasion, built things

from paper and card. In the

interests of balance I’ve also

come across kits of those types

that I’ve loathed, but too few of

them to mention.

Sculpting in clay is something I

enjoy greatly and is probably an

interest that I inherited from my

late father, although he was quite

good at it. I am not particularly

accomplished in this area but I

find simply pushing clay around

rather

therapeutic

and

sometimes people have even

recognised what my efforts

represent. I suspect there’s an

element of the infinite number of

monkeys syndrome at work

there.

In the case of both my writing

and model building I have the

rare privilege of being paid to do

it which, as I’ve observed on

many occasions, beats having a

proper job and I do get to meet

some wonderful and interesting

people.

Bald, old, overweight,

excessively fond of

liquids produced through

fermentation – all words that

have been used to describe

freelance writer and model

maker Andy Pearson, often

by his family.

In terms of the relationship

between the writing and model

building, they are both somewhat

intertwined.

I’ve been a freelance writer for
