Hi Paul,
I’ve finished the booster pad, haven’t made a diorama for it yet though. My current project is a diorama [for something else. Ed]. Anyway, I’ve taken a few photos of the Pad for you on that, hence the background looks a bit sparse as yet as I’ve still got quite a bit of work to do on it.
BTW Seeing you’re having a bit of a filmfest at the moment here’s a couple I watched this week – Project MoonBase (1953) - Juvenile story to compliment the acting but with some redeeming features like predicting a future where there is sexual equality (Well, a fifties version anyway) and some intriguing model shots for it’s time , featuring a rather nice space station.
The second film is The 27th Day (1957) which starred the late Gene Barry. This is quite intelligent sci-fi not unlike the original Day The Earth Stood Still with plenty of cold war paranoia, but unfortunately not much in the way of action . That being said I reckon it’s still well worth a watch.
Cheers
Mike B.
Awesome Mike! You must get it displayed at Fanderson's Con next time round! The diorama looks cool as it is. Well done and thanks for sharing! Woodsy PS. for fellow readers, I'll post a piccy of the Booster stand, as it appears in one of the original SWORD comic strips, as soon as I can locate one!
Wow! Excellent model. Well done.

ReplyDeleteSincere thanks for all the encouraging comments, guys and gals.I'm really glad you enjoyed the pics. It's just my little (and fun) payback for the great blog stuff I enjoy from Woodsy, Wote and all you other contributors. I have got a few more projects in the pipeline which I'm only too happy to share.
