ROLL OUT

Modeller Kevin D has sent in a photo of his Spacex  MLP model, and based it on Robert McCall's famous 1964 'Roll Out'  painting, seen many times over the years in books, comics and even on the Project Sword. Cape Kennedy set.


Here's part of the original painting,  which was used as a rather nice filler in the 1971 Doctor Who annual.


And finally, the retouched  box art for the Project SWORD Cape Kennedy set, complete with SWORD emblems

  1. Stunning work from Kevin. I love the flying P3 Helicopter, no doubt his scratchbiult one. Its hard to tell the difference from the originals! Your inclusion of the Dr. Who Roll Out image from 1971 is fascinating. I've never seen that one before. Fantastic! Is the artist named?

    1. Or is it another Bob McCall illustration Scoop?

    2. The artist is still Robert McCall, Woodsy. I suspect the editors have just retouched it for the annual's printing processes. The same will probably apply the Sword box too, which have obviously been altered to include the Sword emblems.
