FAB UFO MODELS AT FAB WORLDS


Some of the models relating to the UFO series at Fab Worlds of Anderson:




Two of the models displayed were used in the actual series.  Here we have the surviving large SKY  1 model, which, although showing a few signs of age, still looks pretty impressive.



This is one of only two known surviving UFO’s from the series. This would have been used for distance shots and to create forced perspective with the larger, more detailed models.



This is a studio scale replica of a S.H.A.D.O. Moonbase  Ground Defence Vehicle, built by Paul Gray.



A studio scale replica of a S.H.A.D.O. Interceptor, built by David Sisson.


A large five foot long Skydiver submarine, built by Studio 2 Models.



A studio scale replica of the large SKY 1, built by R James Ashton.



Finally.this replica built by Paul Gray, of the highly detailed antenna tracking array which I believe first appeared in The Secret Service episode, 'Hole in One, but went on to make a couple of appearances in UFO.

  2. Are the SHADO Moonbase ground defence vehicles and the other vehicles all based originally from Topper Toys tracked vehicles? -Mark J Southcoast Base

    1. Yes, the tracks were originally from Tiger Joe tanks.
