THE ART OF SWORD: THE SWORD FLEET ON CANVAS


Here's another view of the SWORD fleet, this time based on non-SWORD artists' impressions of spacecraft as close as I could find to the SWORD toys. This wasn't easy and the missing '?'s remain stubbornly elusive:- two of the Scouts and the Moon Ranger. I've cheated a bit on some of the others as well, having to resort to other toy box art as with the PF3 Space Bird and the Yonezawa Moon Rocket (TF1 lookalike). I've executed artistic licence as well by including a painting of Concorde to represent PF1 and a still of the Thunderbirds Sun Probe instead of PF2 but you get the general idea! I've included 2 paintings of vehicles, which are SWORD but never made it into the C21 range: the Moon Crawler and Beetle (aka Snow Train) both bottom left. Anyone fill in the blanks or do it differently? C'mon Swordheads, shake off those winter blues!
