To One, GT-1 Had Twice The Porschenality Revell’s Twice Fine GT-1 EVO By Mick Burton The 2001 Rolex sponsored 24 hours of Daytona heralded return of former Champion Porsche 911 GT-1 Evo without question. Though it wasn’t to finish in the black, it started out so. Thanks to Texaco & The History Channel stepping up, Gunnar Racing had an eye catching replacement for the all white with roof top Question Mark in black scheme. (cont’d page 3) Editor’s Ravings – this month’s editor, Mick Burton Very sorry how late this edition turned out. As you who made the meeting are aware, I had only 90 percent completed of this Sheet and had a printout to share there if anyone wanted to see. This past 30 days my life events intervened in such an order to leave me without sleep or several projects finished on time. No one said it would be easy nor that we get out alive. Year is moving rapidly to a close, yet fortunate to have still several fine events new or returning. A vote of confidence in future being better than present, all of them. As they require a great deal of plan ahead plus host bet it’s worth financial risk committing to them. I encourage all to make as many of these as you might, even if you’re not necessarily in a mind set that it seems an easy choice.

It I was indeed fun, and it adds a nice touch of visual variety to my display case. When I mentioned to fellow member Greg Springer that I was building this kit, he told me that it was the very first plastic model airplane kit ever produced.

  • Psycho Styrene Issue 1
    1 Mar 08 The Journal of SCI-FI, Fantasy, & Horror Modelling The Phantom Illuminated Classic Galactica Showcase Moebius Models Interviewd ScratchBuilding The Elson The Staff Data Burst By GeekBot Editor in chief Welcome to the premiere issue of Psycho Styrene Modelling Magazine, The GeekBot philosophy behind this publication is to fill in the gaps that are left by most of the print magazines that cater to modellers since the demise of Sci-Fi & Copy Editor Fantasy modeller as a monthly publication, and that this magazine should be a Vickie Miles magazine for modellers made by modellers who love sci-fi and fantasy. Graphics & Layout I’m hoping that we will be able to fill this publication with projects, for Darren Llewellyn both the beginner and the more advanced modeller to try, hints and tips to help newbie modellers, as well as being a show case for your work. I am also hoping to see some out of the box builds/reviews to let other modellers Contacts know what great kits are out there currently, there will also be interviews with modellers, model companies and some pro model makers. Editorial Staff GeekBot@PsychoStyrene It also my hope that the editorial will not be me droning on each issue over what’s in the issue or just what I think is happening in the model world, but Submissions will reflect and also contain the views of the readers, and what they have to Submissions@PsychoStyrene say about the subject. Readers Gallery OK that’s enough of me rambling on here, I hope you enjoy this issue and ReadersGallery@ come back for more if you have any questions or would like to contribute PsychoStyrene to this publication, feel free to contact me here.

I had plenty of experience during my building career to tackle the job, so I bought another Academy kit. Here are the results from beginning to the end. ( Cont’d on 3 ) Editor’s MisBehavings – this month’s editor, Mick Burton ( shameless plug: www.mickbmodeler.com ) “ WAY TO GO, GEORGE ! Indies Show At Peterson Auto Museum A Gift To All Model Society ” Thanks to photos selected from ORANGE COUNTY IPMS NEWS MARCH 2017 (Bless Terry Huber, Editor) I can put a picture to the name for those who don’t know Mr George Creed (that’s him on the right, at podium). Who is “Mr Pasadena Model Society” to me, since first attending a ValleyCon Show/Contest myself many years back. If you don’t quite know why you seem to know the smiling gentleman in second photo, you’re excused, although I am quite appreciating him and his fellow Road Warriors again this year. That’s Mr. David Frederick, current Pres of the OC-IPMS club and a faithful participant (entrant, Judge, enthusiast) at both Bay Area shows (SVSM & Hornets) for several years running.

    THE STYRENE SHEET VOL. 44, No.10 WWW.SVSM.ORG October 2010 A Publication of the Silicon Valley Scale Modelers, A chartered Chapter of International Plastic Modeler’s Society, USA branch. EVERY “ FRED “ NEEDS A “ WILMA “ Correcting an Historical Oversight (in WW2 1946 terms) By Mick Burton The Imperial Japanese Army, Naval Air Forces were not utterly provincial in their acquisition of suitable war machinery. Evidence includes the true facts of their evaluation of several aircraft types of Axis Allied powers, including Germany’s ME-109 and the superb FW-190. These craft even received “code names” although it seems in retrospect a mite premature, as neither ever saw wartime service while wearing hinomarus. Assigned “Fred” as code name, it was this scant evidence that led to this month’s cover article. (Concluded on page 4) Editor’s Ravings – this month’s editor, Mick Burton SPOOKY! No, not the spirit of this month’s ending celebration, I’m referring to this being the 3rd full year completed for me at this post! By the time most of you will be receiving this, my road trip to OrangeCon 2010 will have become history. Both circumstances bring about a welcome, if eerie just the same, shudder to my inner foundations. Several editorials and opinion pieces of late including bits of my own have dealt with the demons of inspiration and continued motivations which often plague us as modelers. Fortunate to a fault I am this anniversary month, that I have Kent, Rodney and those helpful patient dinner companeros to provide much content to this and upcoming issues.
