Participating Artists - John Douglass

John Douglass is a Texas resident whose life-long interest in plastic model building began in the 1960's when his father was posted to Japan, where, even back then, there was a model kit of everything - even a cat. His interest in Science Fiction also began then, but it was not for several years that frustration at the dearth of spaceship kits led to creating his own models out of other model kits and found objects. Over the last 25 years John has built a dozen or so spaceship models a year, winning awards at local model contests and Wonderfest, the annual science fiction and fantasy model-building contest and convention. Images of his ships have been used in online games, student films, a book cover by Dave Seeley, and in the Dark Horse comic Float Out.
