Here's what I did with the Sindy buggy I had. Action Man is the astronaut.

SPACE 1999 ALIEN KIT PICTURE CARDS

Hello Woodsy,

I scanned the picture card insert and the sides of the bottom half of the package.

This reissued model was obviously the brainchild of a serious fan of Catherine Schell.

SPACE 1999 ALIEN BUGGY KIT: A POSSIBLE ORIGIN BY READER MIKE N.

Hi Woodsy

The only loose connection - and it's VERY loose - I can find is that it, Terranova47's Alien buggy kit [featured the other day], slightly resembles a buggy driven by an invading alien force in a story from Look-in's comic strip version drawn by the great Mike Noble.

Here are the Look-In pics as promised.

Cheers.

Alternatively it's maybe a pre-production prototype of the 2-man buggy they rode around in but the design was altered before shooting in a similar way to the original Eagle design by Chris Foss?

PS. also a cracking model from Martin Bower that I found whilst googling pre-production art although I think it's a much more recent creation - would pay serious money to own a kit of that! We need to see this design in a sci-fi show sometime.

A RETURN TO SPACE 1999: THE ALIEN

Hello Woodsy,

I bought this kit last weekend inspired by all the SPACE 1999 Scoop's been posting lately.

It seems to be a reissue copywritten 2013. Was this ever something that appeared on the show?

Postscript from Woodsy:

Here's the original MPC kit The Moon Scope courtesy of Pinterest. It is sort of similar to the Space 1999 ALIEN.

and here's the real Moonscope!

Note the standard wheels on this one.

Some photos of the Space 1999 model displays - and a spacesuit!

I believe all these pics are of some of the original studio items, and although I've seen one or two of them before at previous venues I'm quite happy to see them again.
