| September's UberHobby is a salute to science fiction modeling. In September, 1902, French film maker Georges Méliès released the movie "Le Voyage dans la lune," or "A Trip to the Moon," in a theater in Paris. Silent, black-and-white, and just 14 minutes long, it was the world’s first science fiction film. From starships to robots to cities of the future, model building has been an integral part of sci-fi film production. With the popularity of TV shows such as Lost in Space and Star Trek and movies such as Star Wars, and as science fiction has become a mainstream favorite, hundreds of sci-fi modeling kits are available. This month we are also announcing our first online contest, sponsored by ModelMakerZ paints and pigments. Click on the Contest page for details. Until next month, Good Modeling! Herb Gara (IPMS/USA #45236) Editor in Chief, Uberhobby.com Fran Buckley Chief Copy Editor & Master Wordsmith. If you would like to submit your work, please click here for instructions. |
