After an enquiry for SWORD antenna spare parts I had a look round for possible DIY replacements. On my Googling I found some interesting objects that would do for general space toying.
Here's some cool plastic disks, domes and tyres at EMA Model Supplies. I haven't bought any or used them so this isn't a recommendation, just a glimpse of what's out there.
What do you think?
EMA supplied to the BBC when they were making Doctor Who and Blakes 7 in the 70's and 80's. I have often used their parts in my replicas. They have recently changed the thickness of their tubes which would make it trickier to make such replicas now.
ReplyDeleteFascinating Kev. They've been going years then. Small world eh, you've used them! I bet they can't wait for another order like the one with the BBC!
