ACCELERATE TO ATTACK SPEED: Military Science Fiction

Military SF/F authors have kept readers at the edge or their seats by incorporating wartime experience and strategies of armed conflict into the far-future and alternate history worlds they create. Not since Luke Skywalker blasted the hell out of the Death Star have we seen such interest in war-inspired science fiction and fantasy. Perhaps a sign of the time we’re in (and whatever might be said, we all bow before Scalzi’s influence) people just want books about good guys defeating unfriendly space invaders and plausible visions of a future military. May the force be with everyone in the audience as Taylor Anderson, Jack Campbell , and Myke Cole, fire up their ammo and discuss this Semper Fi friendly subgenre of popular fiction.

Model Honorary Mention: David Mills

Posted by Taylor on September 1st, 2011 | 1 comment

A guy named David Mills sent these–said he didn’t mean to join the contest because his model is Paul Jones–but she was Walker‘s sister, and really was in the Asiatic fleet.  Really nice job!

David writes:

 This is the ship I built a few years ago based on the old Revel kit.  I chose the Paul Jones and included a sampan to give it a location.  I cut off the bottom of the hull, and scratch built the gun shield the boarding ladder and the searchlight tower.  

The figures are all “N” guage railroad figures, but all but one are female.  The male figures were to tall. The exception is the sailor with his hands on his hips, to great a pose to miss, so I cut him off at the ankles.  Notice the large alien creature trying to land on the rigging in the 2nd shot.

We’ve had some additional entries into the model contest. Details can be found here — Model Contest

From reader Rick Essert who writes:

I also wanted to point out the additions to the Campbelltown; first I hope you can see the coke machine, 2nd I added the blower which wasn’t on the model, and 3rd  added the Alliance battle flag.  I also added gun blasts, burn stains from Grik fire bombs, as well as other obvious features to both models.

 

Also – Wayne Hawkins has updated his picture gallery at the original model contest blog entry as well.
