Inspired by Bill's SPACEX week whilst I was abroad I thought I'd once again post something I made years ago: a mocked up Photonic Propulsion Space Station from the legendary SPACEX II range. Considered to be as rare as rocking horse doo doo, this is about as close as I'll ever get to the real thing, hence the need to bodge my own. Its essentially made from felt pens and paint brush handles with a few extra bits of jetsam too!
The backing cards are photostats courtesy of Bill Osborne and the SpaceX II badge is courtesy of Bill B. The colour scheme and size of the model are of my own making. Who knows what the original looked like as alls we have are black and white drawings! The plastic window box is courtesy of our fridge's veg tray!
What do you think readers? Any more SpaceX II mock-ups out there?
You made me look twice with that, first time round, you beggar!
ReplyDeleteI don't know a thing about Spacex II guys, you'll need to start edumacating us :-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely well done !
ReplyDeleteIt does make one wonder what possible-potential toys were discussed but never to see actual production.
Lovely piece of work, Mr Woods!
ReplyDeleteYou got the flavour down to a T.

Thanks guys. The world of SpaceX II is like an undiscovered moon in the Oort Cloud. So close yet so far. I wonder if we will ever see the unseen five of the Photonic Space Station, the Salvage Craft, the Crash Tender, the Rocket Transporter and the Soyuz?
