Proper modelmaking......

Post by DelP »

Hi folks,

I've just been clearing out some old bookmarks and came across this...

Many years ago I left the army and went to college as a mature student, studying 3D design on a 2-year professional modelmaking course. Our lecturer on the film and TV module was Martin Bower, who was supervising modelmaker on the film Alien..he also made most of the models and props for the TV series 'Blake 7' as well as a load of other stuff.....

This should appeal to folks of a certain age:

I used to watch Matt on Saturday morning TV

He was always very encouraging and showed just how the right detailing and colouring with the appropriate weathering could be very, very convincing :)
