Starting off as a place to show my 2000AD-themed projects, its mutated into a diary of what i'm up to in the SF & Fantasy modelling hobby. And the odd rant, review and ramble.

Aliens Gateway Station Shuttle
Never seen shots of this before, and its a nice, clunky design.
Looks to be a mix of helicopter tails, racing car parts and other stuff.
If i can figure out what to use, might have a go at making one - or at least a riff on the design.
Looks like a lot of Macross kit parts used in there, think I recognise a few from a Macross model I had years back !! Lacks any real scale, but I suppose it was only for way off in the distance so they didn't bother.
Yeah, it was a quick kitbash by Bob Skotak and was never supposed to be seen up close - hence the clunky design and not-stuck-down-well-at-all Go Fasta stripes. Been asking around and i've identified the racing car, plane and helicopter parts. Macross eh? That's gonna be a bugger to track them down. Not suprised at their use though - the kits seemed to be in EVERY toy shop i ever went in during the mid 80's.
Born '62, growing old but not up. Ex-Projectionist.
Fan of decent film, especially 50's SF, Universal and Hammer horrors, the shorts of Laurel & Hardy. Love the British boys comics i grew up on, special effects in any form, history, mythology, fantasy and cheese.
