I am in love...one of the best spaceship designs ever...and at that scale it is just awesome...I would sell a kidney to own it...if it was for sale it could be rather expensive...better sell both of them... ;)

Beautiful build sir.

Awesome!!

I didn't think anyone else knew about that show, but of course in England the odds are slightly more favorable.

I wanted to pack up and move to moonbase alpha when I was younger, I thought it was that cool. (and if there are any Dr Who fans here, some of the lamps from alpha ended up in the TARDIS)

I got these 1:1 resin replicas at a convention that came to town here in Calgary. 1 laser is my wife's, the mark 2 is mine (mais oui) as is the comlock.

There are ID badges for Cdr John Koenig, Victor Bergman, or Alan Carter. I wanted to make my own ID badge and paste it on, but I got lazy. Mostly for want of a B&W pic of myself. I had such a hassle with the comlock. It was very poorly molded. Like chipping away at a resin brick, I slowly managed to find the detail. I buggered up the keypad too, the #1 key is slightly too big. The decals that came with were old and fragile. I almost started with #9 and thought, "If I mess this up, which number would I prefer to hand paint, a loopy 9 or a straight, simple 1?" -- I chose wisely...

LOL, like it. These items go for a bomb now, resin kits going for £50 + for the laser and the comlock can go for any money if you can source one.

I paid 75$ canadian for a boxed set of laser and comlock. The next year we got the 2nd laser for my wife who is also a fan of the show and 1 more thing that we have in common, for about 35-40 canadian. Not bad, but makes me wish my younger self could have them...

I have tons of sci-fi weaponry hanging around the flat. Phasers, tricorders, lasers, communicators, and 5 lightsabers, including 1 double-bladed model. (which i taught myself to use, i would upload the video i shot of a routine but i hit my leg and less than perfect will not do ;) )
 
Hi Steve,

I think you'll find that a large number of us in here are of the age to have watched and loved Space 1999 as well as a number of the other Gerry Anderson productions... ;)
