A LOOK AT SMALLSPACE 11: PART 3 RED DWARF

 

Another highlight at this year's Smallspace was the return of Mike Tucker, Nick Kool and Alan Marshall  who all worked on the model designs and special effects on the Sci-fi comedy, Red Dwarf. including STARBUG 1.

They brought along  several original props, including two filming miniatures of STARBUG 1.

SFX Boys from the Dwarf! Alan, Nick and Mike, the head of the team.

Here's Alan showing one his original STARBUG 1 concept sketches.


 A few shots of the larger STARBUG 1 prop.





Obviously the reason why STARBUG was driven so badly!

Some photos of the Smaller STARBUG model and the Blue Midget.



Some of the other props on display.

J.M.C. Ore sample pod, which also doubles as an escape pod.

I suppose I could end this with 'smoke me a kipper', but I won't.
