Smallspace always has several props and models from Blake's 7 on display, mainly thanks to long time fans, Andy Spencer, Karyn Clanger ,Phil Stevens and posthumously, Gary Holland.
The highlight for me was this superb scratch-built Space Command Federation Space Station. which I couldn't resist seeing what it would look like situated in space.
This excellent model was built by Phil Stevens.
Below: Some original costumes from
Firefly, Space, Above and Beyond, and of course
Blake's 7.
Original screen-used props of a Federation Rifle, Blake's bounty hunter gun, and the
spacedrive from the episode, '
Stardrive'.
A tiny model of the 'London', from
Space Fall
Screen -used Orbit Shuttle, built by Ron Thornton in 1981, and seen in the episode,
Orbit.
Blake's Flyer miniature, built by Bill Pearson, and used in the episode,
Blake.,
And finally, a nod to the sadly missed, Gary Holland.
A link to a post I did previously on Gary.
Great photos of great models.
ReplyDeleteThat space station is fantastic I agree Scoop. Love your space shot. The centre has a Tracy Island ring feel to it. Such mastery here, real scratch builders! It's humbling to see. Thanks for reporting back with great scoops Scoop! So sorry about Gary H.
ReplyDeleteI too was particularly impressed by the Federation Space Station model.
ReplyDeleteIt's design was a little retro, even by the late 70s, but good to see a proper 'wheel in space' type station again.
Maybe if Elon Musk builds a space station, it'll be a circular one, to go in style, with his old school Spacex 'rocket ship' spacecraft.
It's always good to see a few Blake's 7 exhibits there.
