Generation SPACEX - Outer Space Travel

 Outer Space Travel

ROCKET NOVA 1

The final installment of our look at Spacex Stage One is the only series without a larger model. Instead it features a flight of four smaller toys.

NUCLEAR FREIGHTER NF II

SPACE PATROL 1

PLEASURE CRUISER 1

This last series of models are all spacefaring vehicles, but with the notable inclusion of a pleasure cruiser, Triang clearly thinking ahead to a period when the everyman could take jaunts into space. Nova 1 again features in Arthur C Clarke's book along with the MEV and Sword Booster Rocket and the elegant Space Patrol 1 or Space Command Ship from the US line, is a direct lift from Ron Turner's 'Guardian' ship in his TV21 Dalek strip. The Nuclear Freighter has more than a touch of Thunderbird 2 styling as well.

I hope you have enjoyed this brief look at some of my most treasured toys and a look at Woodsy's personal SPACEX fleet. A multitude of style and colour variations exist, some of which can be seen here:
