Michael Anderson
Livonia, Michigan
Can you improve a derelict? Michael proved you can when he detailed the interior of the arms and sphere of Moebius’ 1/350 scale kit of The Derelict from Lost in Space using parts from Revell’s 1/350 scale USS Missouri, Revell’s 1/72 scale F-4 Phantom, and AMT’s 1/200 scale Saturn 1B. To match the appearance of the ship in he show, he sprayed the body with Rust-Oleum texture paint followed by Rust-Oleum hammered paint. “I airbrushed Model Master Metalizers for the finish colors,” Michael says. “To tone down the clear parts for a more realistic appearance, I used Tamiya Smoke.”

After the COVID-19 pandemic twice forced the cancellation of WonderFest in 2020, the show was back at the Crowne Plaza in Louisville, Kentucky June 5-6. Hundreds of people attended and the contest tables were packed with 780 scale creations.

FineScale Modeler editor Aaron Skinner attended and shot these photos.
