The making of the "Seeker"
article published in Fine Scale Modeler is now on
the news stands and hobby publication shelves
as of early this month. However, there were several
glaring errors, shown below, created when the
editors re-wrote the article. True, some of them are
minor details, but I find myself asking why these
details were changed? It had to have been done
deliberately. I have written to the editor to try to
have corrections printed in a future issue, but I
doubt that anything will be done.
It seems that journalists, even in the hobby
industry, refuse to report things accurately even
when it is staring them directly in the face in the
form of a direct transcript! This is why, when I
read newspapers (who have a LOT more agenda-driven
reasons to "edit" things than hobby magazines) these
days, I often remark to myself... Gee, I wonder if
that's really true??
- This Small Art Works
web site address was misprinted as ending in
".com" instead of the correct ".ca", but then if
you're reading this it doesn't matter much. I had
even directly told the editor that it was NOT a
"Dot-Com" address! Hopefully those who read the
article and wish to visit this website will do a
search of some kind to find the right location.
- The references made in the
article to "Evergreen" products are incorrectly
rewritten by the editors. As I wrote in my
original document, the products used on my model
were "EMA/Plastruct" materials. I never even
mentioned the Evergreen products or name anywhere
in my article! Evergreen does not even make the
dome products I used, and I used no Evergreen
products whatsoever in the building of the model,
so how they came up with such a substitution is
anybody's guess. It must have been done
deliberately for some reason, as I had originally
written it very clearly, three times! Some kind of
politics or favoratism going on? You decide.
- The section which
describes using superglue to seal the MDF parts is
incorrectly written as applying the glue to the
surfaces AFTER finish sanding instead of
before. You actually need to sand the dried glue
after it's been applied to the wood surface to
smooth it out.
- The parts incorrectly
referred to as "thruster tubes" on the sides of
the model are actually docking tubes as I had
originally written, and as actually shown in one
episode of the show. (In reality they were
mounting points, used to mount the studio model
onto the filming pylons)
