I have the great pleasure of introducing artist John Rigoni (Capt. John Rigo) of SIMLSTAR Graphics to our gallery! His model builds and digital composites works have been seen and offered in many areas, including conventions! Here is one of his award wining digital composites!

The image I am submitting is from page 4 of [...]

This documentary is about the dying art of model making. Focusing on the personal stories of the model makers whose work shaped and enhanced the impact of feature films and gave it a breathtaking scale. Their practical hands on art is now slowly dying out, giving way to computer generated imagery.

The model makers share their [...]

Canadian artist Warren Zoell is so fast at this art form that I simply cannot keep up with his amazing works! I have decided to place this specific showing today as a multitude of his composite works all in one place that we still had left in his queue to show. These woks are beautiful!

I have the great pleasure of introducing artist Christine Guinn to this Gallery. Her work on this Babylon 4 Station is absolutely stunning! Though she no longer is involved in the creative aspects of this art form, I am looking forward to showing the works she did before her profession move. This is fantastic!
My name [...]

I miss Babylon 5. Still, these magnificent builds of the designs from that show bring me great memories of it. Artist Lou Dalmaso built this piece from the Alliance Model Kit… and what a beautiful job he did! I would love to see one of these built in great detail in the large 1:18 super [...]

Magazine Designer Ian Blaza, and Ian Allan Publishing are producing a new publication… Spaceships of Science Fiction! This publication looks fantastic as you can see for yourself with the examples he emailed me to show here on Modeler Magic!
I have attached some sample spreads of the Spaceships of Science fiction publication with a brief synopsis.

Famed artist Richard long returns with a fantastic build for the David Jones Collection of a Revell, Babylon 5 Star Fury Fighter! This has got to be one of the best build of this model I have seen to date! The paneling, weathered effects, top artwork and beautiful lighting makes this piece worthy of being [...]

This beautiful Thunderbolt Fighter was built by fantastic modeler Kostas Kosmidis. His use of metalized paint make this piece look as if it were nearly off the assembly line, but then when looking closer at it, has just enough weathering to show it has been used. The more I view this piece…. the more I [...]

I have always loved the designs that came from the popular serious Babylon 5. This fighter is one that I plan on having made in 1:18 scale for display….. my inspiration coming fantastic builds like this one from professional modeler Chris Dobbinson. This Thunderbolt looks like it was meant to look… massively powerful… and intimidating! [...]

Babylon 5…. an absolute fantastic science fiction story. One of the most realistic vessels in these stories (of actual, probable use) were the Star Fury Fighters assigned to the massive 5 mile long space station. Each pilot (just like today’s fighter pilots) had call signs and paint schemes to match those call signs, and squadron [...]

I am honored again to introduce another artist to this Gallery…. Orne Montgomery (aka O.E.M.)! This beautiful Starfury from Babylon 5 was masterfully done to match Ivanova’s fighter! Every marking on it is outstanding, and Orne’s use of pastel chalks for the weathering is a great example of their use in this art form! Not [...]

Beautifully built from an Alliance kit, modeler Chris Dobbinson once again shows his skills with this fighter build from Babylon 5. A beautiful piece for any collection.
