Guessing most of you know of Martin Bower?
The model making genius that's built some brilliant, beautiful, not
to say downright iconic craft over the years, be it Space 1999,
Alien, Blakes 7, Doctor Who, Outland, Flash Gordon, the list goes on
and on.
As you'll see from the link below, this long in gestation project is
almost here.
Written totally by Martin - except for the Q&A questions you're
invited to send in - this run of magazines will build into a
collection of incredibly indepth articles, becoming the DEFINITVE
works on the subjects, in many cases using never seen before photos.
A good example is the Battlecruiser used in Space 1999's "The Last
Enemy" - most of the photos were uncovered by Martin during research
by Martin, photos he himself hadn't seen for 30-odd years, photos
taken from the negatives that he's had cleaned up from the negatives.
If you've ever felt cheated before that previous articles on Martin's
work never went into enough details, then this is what youve been
waiting for.
Issue 1 is on pre-order and ships soon, with issue 2 (Thunderbirds
Sidewinder, 1999's Hawk and original design Moonbus) on the horizon:
