SPACE 1999 MODELS AT ANDERCON

I'm always happy to see the exceptionally well finished fan produced models from the 'All Sections Alpha'  Space 1999 modellers forum that have been quite prominent at several of the recent Gerry Anderson conventions and exhibitions.


There’s usually a large 44” studio scale Eagle. This one with a interchangeable pods was  made and is owned by Chris Potter. It  really is well finished,with a fully detailed and illuminated cockpit.




With the many resin kits available these days that go so well with the different Product Enterprise Eagle variations it seems a pointless exercise to scratch build smaller models. The hard part is getting that meticulous paintjob.



This Eagle Pad with what looks to me like a Product Enterprise Rescue Eagle is a Small Art Works resin kit which was built and detailed by Paul Stankevitch.


A  Laboratory Eagle on what looks like a Warp lift display.


The Swift from ‘Brian The Brain’.


The models on display were a joy to see and a credit to the enthusiasts who brought them along. 


The Ultra Probe from ‘Dragon’s Domain’. This example owned by James Winch.


This concept tank was built by Hilton Fitzsimmons.


The Kaldorian spacecraft from ‘ Earthbound’. This model built by Chris Potter.



The Infernal Machine.
