Hi Paul,
Thank's for the email - I've certainly no objection to you posting the space station pic and the message (posted earlier. Ed). I'll try and rattle off a picture of the Rocket Transporter for the blog as well if you like. As you say though, it's a bit tricky as between us all it seems we've only got one little picture showing one angle to work off. I have looked on the net to see if there was any designs or vehicles that Tri-ang might have based it on but nothing so far. The shuttle crawler is probably nearest but that wouldn't have been around at the time - see bottom pic.
Anyway, best of luck with your scratch building - who dares, wins etc. - whatever the result it is very therapeutic - and it's inspiration for others. I'm slowly working on my Earth Base Spacex diorama at the moment and to be honest most of it is just bits of wood and plaster, and odd plastic bits and pieces I've hoarded over time, and of course, liberal amounts of acrylic paint. It might not be up to Derek Meddings standards but like you say it's lots of fun.
I've attached a preview piccy showing a Nuclear Pulse .
Cheers
Mike
