- Space
Above and Beyond - It's the year 2063. After 150 years
of deep space exploration, the people of Earth feel certain
they are alone in the universe. Then word comes that two Earth
outposts light-years away from home have been brutally attacked
by an advanced alien civilization. Now the new young recruits
of the United States Marine Corps Space Aviator Calvary are
heading for the front lines of space in the toughest battle
the world has ever faced. Thrust into an intergalactic war
beyond imagination, these untested fighter pilots suddenly
find themselves waging a life-and-death struggle to protect
Earth and to save mankind from total annihilation.
- Dark
Angel - Jessica Alba is impressive as Max, bred and trained
as a super-soldier but reclaiming her individual humanity;
Michael Weatherly is scruffily attractive as Eyes Only, who
sits semi-paralyzed in his eyrie above Seattle uncovering
crime, corruption, and other skullduggeries and assigning
deadly errands to the woman he hopelessly loves.
- Battlestar
Galactica: Saga of a Star World - This classic comic-strip
adaptation tells the story of the very first episodes of the
hit TV series. After a surprise attack by battle droids, the
Cylons, the human race faces extinction. Now the last remaining
warship, the Battlestar Galactica, leads a ragtag refugee
fleet across a savage galaxy in a desperate search for that
one glimmer of hope amongst the stars — the planet Earth!
- Scale
Spacecraft Modeling - Rockets and spacecraft were among
the very first models made as commercial kits, and although
never as numerous as aircraft, ships or road vehicles, the
many kits produced over the years provide a fascinating niche
in the world of model-making. The build-ups in this book reflect
the current situation with spacecraft modeling; although there
are still a number of conventional all-plastic kits available,
there is also a growing range that uses more specialist materials,
especially resins. The book explains the various techniques
required when dealing with these non-traditional materials.
Scale Spacecraft Modeling also covers scratch building and
adaptation, the techniques needed to make those pristine models
really dirty to match the ones you see in the movies, and
the design and construction of realist dioramas and settings.
