volume 36 EDITORIAL
The universe is kind to editors...
Sometimes it takes a decade or two, but isn’t it amazing
how good things actually
do
come to those who wait?
You see, I’ve always loved the look of it, but,
unfortunately, it was mostly filmed in nighttime scenes, so
I’ve only ever caught glimpses of those futuristic lines –
having to make educated guesses as to what the whole thing
actually looked like, and never dreaming that one day I’d
actually be able to study it up close from every angle,
courtesy of clear and detailed colour photographs.
Imagine my surprise and absolute delight, then, on
first receiving copy and photographs for the
UFO
original miniatures article featured in this Volume.
There it was: the
Markers Universal Mobile Transporter
from
Gerry Anderson’s first live action series (to be more exact, the
tractor/cab unit from that miniature) ...alive, well, and looking in
remarkably good shape for a forty-five year old FX model.
...And it had brought friends to the party, too, as you will
discover from the remarkable photographs of other
UFO
original models, presented in these pages as an exclusive I
hope will have you staring in wonderment as much as I did
on that first viewing.
Whether you’re a fan of the series or not, as a genre
modeller I know you’ll appreciate being able to examine these
classic, expertly crafted SF models in detail for the first time.
Then, once you’ve had a lie down to recover, I hope you’ll
be equally delighted and enthused by the scratchbuilds, studio
scale wonders and ahead-of-release reviews crammed into
what we feel is a very special issue. Our sincere thanks to our
hard-working team for continually outdoing themselves in
terms of presentation, originality and skill.
Me? I’m hard at work with Dave on Volume 37. And, of
course, I’m considering how fantastic a replica of the
Mobile
Transporter
(weighing in at around five-feet long, including its
trailer) would look on a shelf, complementing the studio scale
Studio 2 Mobile
I’m building over multiple issues of this title.
I’m sure Jane would love one of those on the fireplace.
In the living room.
Next to the telly.
Dream on, Reccia.
...See you in ninety, and thank you, as always, for reading.
