discussion Warp resin kit , 1/72 Hawk interceptor space 1999

[Alan 45]

While doing my B5 destroyer and the amount of time I have in between building sections I have been building the Space 1999 hawk also in resin

I decided not to give it the paint livery from the actual episode I decided to do the original version in white , the only reason it was changed for the episode was due to a hissy fit by the film director so it was changed

I've researched as much as I can trying to find the actual paint scheme but there is not one clear photo I could find so I took what I could from the catacombs site and then filled in the gaps using the eagle and other 1999 ships , I decided to give the view ports a gold colour to simulate a polarised appearance , when I painted the white it just swallowed up the detail so I put a great wash on and that sorted it .

The base this is on is the top of a landing pad I got for a base this will be done shortly but for now I thought I'd give you a look at the hawk

The Hawk looks great Alan I wouldn't mind one of those.

Looking forward to the base being done

Nice work mate, looks superb and gritty. The pad will only enhance this model for sure.

Very nice. I've got an old Corgi Eagle somewhere, finished in metallic green - I think.

Dinky, that's it. Seeing the picture reminded me that I have the white one with the nuclear waste as well. Imagine, a kid playing with nuclear waste, well it was the 70's

Great one!! Looks very well Alan

I really like the colour on the exhaust pipes

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers lads I appreciate it , the landing pad should be ready tomorrow

No good with just a landing pad Alan, you need the moonbase too hehehe. Very nice build though matey, loved the tv series so have a soft spot for this.

Have fun, John

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers john I appreciate it I have today read the walls for the landing bay will be available soon or even maybe as this is an old kit and it states it in the instructions so I might not be able to get the moon base alpha but a piece of it

Hey Alan, don't know how true it is mate but it looks like they're rebooting Space 1999 but it's not a remake. I'm now excited........

There's been talk about a new series for the last couple of years but nothing concrete , this is the best evidence I've seen that it could be a reality , I hope so even if it's low brow SF it's worth giving it a look

Thanks for the link
