Kevin's MPC Space 1999 Stun gun

Hi,

Made this MPC kit of the Moonbase Alpha sidearm. It's a lovely kit but very light, so I filled it with milliput, which helps!

No thank you, it's not our war....

  1. Nice chrome! Are those parts vacuum metallised or did you have to paint them? If so, Bravo! It all looks great!
    I assume you found this Web page during your research...

    1. The model comes with chrome parts. If anything they are a little too shiny, I did sand them back a bit. The catacombs site is really useful.

  3. Thank you. It is tough to find gaps in the summer rain to get any spray painting done!

  4. Totally professional finish, Kevin. I always liked the unorthadox design of this futuristic weapon from 1999.

    1. Thank you. Yep, I've always liked the design too. I find I've made quite a few Space 1999 props without planning to!

    1. Thanks. I did make a scratchbuild, it was a few years before 1999! Still got it, it was in one shot of my spacesuit chest pack that you featured a while ago.

  6. Are you fans paying attention to the new Space 1999 role-playing game release? With an official Technical Operations Manual? Not for me, but I think you folks are the fans, so here you are: https://www.gerryanderson.com/sign-up-to-the-brand-new-space-1999-roleplaying-game/
