Blimey, this took a while to do! After making some SWORD-Y-KINS and teaming up some tiny SWORD with some tiny plastic Thunderbirds toys last year [bottom of page] I thought I'd have a crack at this. Here's a gallery of the SWORD fleet in miniature at a scale below Spacex size [where possible and where known], around an inch in length. The bulk of this mini fleet is from the fantasticly small TAKEUCHI UFO rubber pencil erasers, kindly donated to Moonbase by Wotan/Terry in 2008.
Some spacecraft I've had to cheat with because I couldn't find anything better [see 'cheat!' in the gallery]. Some craft I just don't know the size of like the Aoshima/Imai Moon Base Bug, Prospector and Crawler, but I've used them anyway to keep the thing moving. Some vehicles are simply impossible to include at such a tiny scale like the Nuclear Ferry [would work at Spacex scale though as, like a number of SWORD craft, it is a Spacex toy]. Probably the rarest design is Task Force 1, as I can't find any other tri-bladed arrowhead- shaped toy or model like it at any scale. Those I couldn't find like this I've marked as 'missing'. Not perfect but a lot of fun to compile. Contributions/ alternatives welcomed!
