EPIC SCALE SCI.FI MODELLING
“To Mum; who always knew I could.”
Kathleen Anne Welsh: 1939 – 2005.
And also my Father
Patrick Michael ‘PADDY’ Welsh: 1938 – 2014.
“Whose love and inspiration taught me the simple pleasure to be had from making things...”
Acknowledgements
When undertaking a project such as writing a book,
there are always people without whom one would not
have reached the end of the journey.
First of all my grateful thanks go to Mike and Dave
who had the initial faith to commission me to write this
volume in the first place. Their help and guidance kept
me on the straight and narrow during a very long and
arduous couple of years. My fellow Happy Medium
regulars Andy and Barry also deserve a special mention.
Of the many company representatives who helped,
those deserving special note are: Dale Luckhurst of
Hornby Hobbies Ltd.; Robbie, Sam and Gary at
Langley’s Toymaster, Norwich and Malcolm Rollings of
Kingkit, whose patience while I disrupted his operation
deserves very special thanks. Also worthy of mention is
everyone at E.M.A. Model Supplies for their excellent
service and technical support; Byte computers; R.E.
Thorns ironmongers and all the team at Graphicair.
Of individuals, I want to thank Richard A. Franks (of
ADH publications) whose initial desperation for a
descent sci-fi modeller meant I got a fair crack at the
whip; all round ‘top bloke’ Nik J. Wigman; Patrick
Watson (for advice on photography); Martin Bower and
Mat Irvine; all at Norwich Scale Model Group (the best
bunch of modellers in the Eastern counties) plus Alan
‘You Madman’
Bottoms and fellow
Sci.fi & fantasy
modeller
Roger Brown at Harrow IPMS.
A very special thank you also goes to Duane Rollo,
without whom the
Nebulon A
frigate would never have
happened;
Brian
and
Brenda
Read
for
their
encouragement, especially Brian for his logical solutions
to almost impossible problems; all the guys at Resin
Illuminati; Vince Stanley and Shaun Hudson for
specialist ‘project management’; my father, Patrick
(Paddy) Michael Welsh for starting me off on this crazy
hobby in the first place and finally... my wife Andrea
who gave me the strength and support to carry on when
I thought I couldn’t, whose faith in me never faltered and
whose love is my inspiration.
The moral right of the author has been asserted.
