A very quick scratchbuild indeed. The flight data recorder disc from the Planet of the Apes TV series. Virdon believes it contains the information they need to get them home. Burke is less convinced and Galen doesn't have a view on it!
Thought I might as well make the bit of their ship that it slots into as well, makes a nice wall display.

My, that's an obscure TV prop Kevin.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet there's not another of those on the planet ... of the Apes or the Humans !
I think you're right. As for their ship, nobody seems to know where that full sized prop ended up.
ReplyDeleteUm, I can sense the need for a typically well researched Moonbase article on the Planet of the Apes spaceship! It appeared in a number of films including The Illustrated Man. Designed by William Creber, it has that 1960s Fox/Irwin Allen vibe to it.
DeleteAny Moonbasers out there game to do it justice?
And as an aside, does anyone else know the ultimate fate of the full size Proteus prop from Fantastic Voyage?
That Virdon was OK, but the other guy was a Burke !
