20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is one of my favorite stories. The Disney Film very much captured my young mind with their amazing Nautilus design.. the infamous vessel that was sinking any other vessel crossing it’s path under the command of the bitter, and vengeance bent Captain Nemo. Though to be a monstrous seas creature [...]

Built from the AMT Millennium Falcon Kit, artist Gábor Takacs has chosen this fantastic build to be his first shown here on the Gallery site. The AMT has been known to be a ‘challenged’ kit when it comes to accuracy of the Falcon we viewed in the Star Wars Saga, and yet we can see [...]

For this artists first showing here on Modeler Magic, Bryon Ray is crafting his own Battlestar Galactica at 60 inches in length! As Galactica builders will admit, this is one of the most daunting builds of all time with all the scribing and kit bashing involved. This being at 5 feet in length instead of [...]

I can never get enough of the 1979 film ALIEN! It was fantastic! Artist’s Stefan Böttcher and Klaus Schäftner have brought this film alive again with this fantastic vision of the Derelict ship that the ill fated crew of the Nostromo are wakened to investigate. I love this piece!

I thought I would submit my first go at the Revell Pocket Millennium Falcon Model.  It is [...]

Marc Elkins has been extremely busy in his shop! Today he is showing this fantastic Studio scale Y-Wing he created for his own collection. This Y-Wing is so fantastic that I could swear it was one of the original filming miniatures…. possible that fourth, illusive Y-wing! His use of weathering and blast patterns, taking the [...]

Major Collector Hector Rosales come forward again with another fine piece for all to view. The Fifth Element Mondoshawan “Hero” head! These lumbering creatures in their massive EVA suits were responsible for bringing the 5th Element to Earth to save the Universe! Thank you again Hector for showing your wonderful collection to us all!

I love when artist Paul Nyul sends me project updates he is working on. Especially those that are surprising to my eyes. This is such a project… the Hasbro Toy Sandcrawler! This is the first I have seen anyone turn THIS toy into a studio looking model. Fantastic!
A friend gave me this Hasbro Sandcrawler as [...]

Who doesn’t know the TRON Recognizer?!! I absolutely love with artist Péter Bíró created with this piece! I would enjoy seeing someone make a 2 foot tall kit of this someday…. both the old version… and the new version from last years sequel film!

The old AMT Enterprise Bridge Kit! I remember mine well. So well in fact that I remember how badly my own turned out! This build will not be so. I have the honor of introducing artist Mike Makkreel to this Gallery. Mike is working on one of these old kits currently, making his into a [...]

Here is another scratch & bash envisioned build by Paul Mather. This one of the JJ Abrams STAR TREK film… the USS Kelvin. Paul’s version of this vessel is very unique, but manages to keep the main styling as we know it to be.
