Unfortunately its missing a few small parts which I'll have to scratch-build, but all in all it looks like it could be a really nice build when it's completed.
It comes with some tiny brass etchings.
And water slide decals.
(I'm sure a few of you will point out that the Liberator was designated DSV 2 by The System, the race who built the ship, rather than DSV1, which, although we saw one of the Liberator's sister ships in the episode,' Redemtion', I don't recall that being given a number).
Up to this point the only Liberator model I possessed was the 1977 Corgi miniature, which, frankly is a bit too small!.

I made one of these when it first came out. It is a nice model but a bit small. I wouldn't bother with the brass parts (except the rectangular panels), they are too flimsy, you'd be better off scratchbuilding them. They did do a see through version which would be handy if you wanted to light the globe.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about it being a little small, but it's a reasonable size to display. As you also point out the brass parts are very small. I've not taken them out yet but Just adding glue to them is going to double their size!!
DeleteWow, is that the natural color for the Corgi? I ask because every single one I have encountered here in the states (5 so far)have not been white. It looks so much better all white than the kind of pewter color with yellow plastic spires. At least the green bubble is the same.
ReplyDeleteI believe the Corgi Liberator model was released in white,silver and blue, Lance.
DeleteWhite commonest, blue by far the rarest.
