A trip into the Moonbase attic found two abandoned bases.
These two Moonbases were built in 2009 as part of a the blog's look at the fabled Project SWORD Moonbase toy, of which only two possible examples have ever been seen we think.
This large scratch built model was my own effort to capture the SWORD Base. It could do with another outing.
This smaller SpaceX-scale set was made by Wotan and again deserves another outing.
I shall see what technicians at Moonbase can do!
Have you made a moonbase?
Yes! We need to see these beauties assembled and displayed properly!
ReplyDeleteMoonbases assemble! Sounds like a Marvel film!
DeleteWe do indeed Zig! Bring them forth will all speed Woodsy!
ReplyDeleteSecond everyone above - bring them about Woodsy!
ReplyDeleteGetting back to the original Moonbases spotted, could it be that Century 21 created (a) few for promotional display purposes only?
Could well be Arto. It would fit the two sightings that I'm aware of.
DeleteWhen I made prototypes for merchandising, almost none of my work ended up in actual production. It's a lot cheaper to try out an idea then to go for the tooling.
ReplyDelete- Which raises the tantalizing possibility that OUT THERE SOMEWHERE... may be the things we desire most.
The hunt continues!
Tantalising Looey!
DeleteYes, let see a proper set-up! If you have time of course. I'd love to put my toys in a diorama but don't have the room!
ReplyDeleteMaybe one day Ed, when SpaceX take me back to the Moon!
