With more Perspex on my mind here are a few more futuristic plastic homes and domes. See what do you think of these.
Of course, first up, its every baby boomer's lunar penthouse, Major Matt Mason's space station. I adored mine and wanted to live in it!
Much much more complex, this is the incredible DIY Outer Space Station from Women's Day magazine ....
... from November 1978, its just out of this galaxy. If IKEA had made Star Wars flat-pack toys this would be it. Did ANYONE actually make one of these?
A more commercial but equally elegant Star Wars dome was the range of shop displays for Kenner's original toy line.
But if you crave stacked panes of coloured Perspex then look no further than the Kaleidoscope Doll's House.
This citadel of translucence was designed by Laurie Simmons and Peter Wheelwright.
This space age bauhaus was released by Bozart Toys in 2001. How appropriate! Its a Major Matt retirement home!
But if you want to put your coffee on your space base doll's house then this final residence is for you, the Qubis Haus coffee table. Watch your young futurists play happily whilst you read your back copies of TV21 by the fire!
Which is your favourite readers?

ReplyDeleteI know! How cool is that!
DeleteI love the Major Matt Retirement home quip! I would dearly have loved the MMM Space Station as a kid, but it was just too darn expensive (sob!) I was inpired to make my own version, using the big square, clear dome from a Triang/Lionel Famous Inventors package!
ReplyDeleteha ha, Mason's Acres, to Rest those Broken Wires! I've never head of that inventors package Looey!
DeleteTriang/Hornby reissued the Lionel famous inventors sets, consisted of a nice plastic box, a bust of the inventor in bronze plastic and a small model of their device - i.e Edisons Phonograph etc. Shown in the back of sixties train catalogues Bill
DeleteHere you go, Woodsie! I had the Edison Lightbulb kit, but looking over the full range, I see there was an Edison Phonograph too! Hah! Think of the money they must have saved by not having to sculpt another Inventor bust!
