Thanks. Yep, they went to so much trouble to make it so accurate and it has so many parts, so it's such a shame that it's not bigger. I got the rarer, clear version so it was easier to stick a light in the engine!
Oh, bugger ! I mistook you for Scoop, didn't I Kevin. So sorry, but both of you shoot such great pics. On the subject of budgets, the first series of Blake's Seven was originally allocated an effects budget of £50 per episode, as it was in the same transmission slot as 'Softly Softly', a character driven local police drama with almost no effects in it. Needless to say, they did increase it.
Ha! I'd definitely take it as a compliment if you mistook my pictures fir Scoop's! I sometimes wonder if the low budget for Blake's 7 didn't have a beneficial effect. The designs were so great that I still prefer them to most modern sf, and decades later am still trying to replicate them!
Nice job, Kev. Its not a bad kit, just a bit small. I started building one myself a while back, but never got round to finishing it!

ReplyDeleteYes, great modelling Kev, it looks fab and the dark space photos look superb. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I probably had even less of a budget than they did!
DeleteStandard by six, Scoop.
ReplyDeletelooks brilliant Kev - great shots too! Bring on your Pursuit Ship!
