Hello Woodsy
I hope yours was an enjoyable New Year
Here are pictures of the almost complete Jet Ace Logan rocket craft adapted from the Apollo 27 kit. One always sees the flaws in paintwork when photographed.
My choice of paint for the spacesuits imply it's Dan & Digby when of course it's Jet Ace & Plumduff.
The Archer spacemen are recasts, the Crescent figure is for scale. The British versions of these figures back in the 50's were about 60mm if my memory is correct and not this big.
They were sold in a box back then that said Dan Dare so they must have been authorised by someone for a quick buck.

That's nice and it's different. I like that.
ReplyDeleteMe too. A lovely design and nicely painted Terranova. is that artwork original?
ReplyDeleteIf only. It's a photostat copy taken from a fanzine in the 70's. When I came across the Pegasus Hobbies kit of Apollo 27 the box lid illustration struck a cord. Unlike Dan Dare, Jet Ace Logan is not really associated to any one space craft but this model seemed close enough to match the one I had photostated years before.
DeleteYou've done a great job. The Pegasus really does have that jet age look to it. Or is it the atomic age I mean? Great job Terra.
