KENTUCKY FRIED SCIENCE-FICTION - WONDERFEST HOBBY EXPO COMING ON MAY 26-27

SMN REPORT:

The WonderFest Hobby Expo is a weekend-long feast of science-fiction, horror, and fantasy modelling that’s held every summer in Louisville, Kentucky. This year, there’ll be a star-packed lineup of movie special effects guests, and a mega-size model contest for sci-fi, horror, and comics-related subjects. Model and toy dealers will be there, as will seminars to entertain and improve sci-fi hobbyists of all ages.

REVELL-MONOGRAM FIRST-HALF 2010 RELEASES

Here’s a look at what Revell-Monogram US has in store for us in the first half of 2010.

There’s a decent mixture of old and new there, with some nostalgic faves present, including three personal ‘couldn’t afford it at the time’ items - the Corporal tactical missile with launcher to 1:40 scale, the F-82 Twin Mustang to 1:72 scale, and the Red Knight of Vienna to 1:8 scale, complete with splendid golden eagle atop his helmet. If you’re into creature features, then the not-so-scary Creature from the Black Lagoon may tempt you too. Enjoy!
