A LOOK AT SMALLSPACE 11: PART 4 SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED

 A final look at  just some of the fabulous model builds  on display at Smallspace.

I was particularly taken by these Anderson related kits displayed and built by Andrew Prentis.


 I'm impressed by this Japanese Doyusha  Stingray kit with an added scratch-built interior.  


Andrew's  excellent UNCL Fireball XL5 build.

  2. Excellent coverage Mike! I've been following along and enjoying all the model work as well your photos! Some of the shows the models are representative of are mysteries to me. I know the titles of the shows of course, but the show itself may never have played on my local TV stations back in the day (like Blake 7 or Joe 90). Still, it's excellent seeing all those cool models.

    1. Yeah, I imagine Blake's 7 didn't make it to most of the US, Ed. Our friend Will S, in Arizona only first got to see Joe 90 on a late night showing of the Super Theatre compilation film in the early eighties.
