It's here..

Well I'm excited anyway.

Got here in record time from the uk (9 days)

No glueing yet, just dry fitting things just to have a look at the quality...And it IS very nice quality.

After this comes an 18" Star Wars X wing fighter, & a Space 1999 Eagle.

I found my Aliens Dropship the other day - haven't seen it in YEARS!!! Needs some repair, but going back out on the display case.

It was STILL in a moving box, along with some other made models - back from being a bachelor

I'd love to see a pic of it one day, Lewis. I'm not familiar with that particular ship...Although I could google it, but where's the fun in that??

John, I can hear Athena 'the girl from the green dimension' calling out to Dr Smith.

LewisM · #7 10-04-2013, 08:10 PM

This will help John.

The kit I have was moulded by Halcyon (Norwegian by memory). WORST fitting kit I have ever assembled, and I have assembled a LOT! I had polystyrene putty all over it, trimmed parts to make them fit, decals that wouldn't adhere... not quality. At least the shape is pretty accurate.

Warning Will Robinson, Danger Danger.
I think he was referring to Dr Smith.

Brings back some good old memories, post some pics when its finished.

LewisM · #9 10-04-2013, 08:18 PM

Good memories. Might just have to "acquire" the series.

asimov (John) · #10 10-04-2013, 08:20 PM

I watched that episode 2 nights ago, Andrew. Along with the model I also scored the complete 23 disc DVD collection

Thanks Lewis, I remember that ship now. Polystyrene putty

- Didn't know there was such a thing! That would be handy to have.

asimov (John) · #11 10-04-2013, 08:21 PM

Thanks Ken, will do.

Yep, saw that you got the DVD set, I've got the complete series too.
Nice one mate.

Nice!

Every time I see my Uncle John he still hassles me about my Robot impersonations............!

I totally agree John. Growing old may be compulsory, but ............ growing up is optional. Tag, you're it!

John, I thought that you being a Welderer, you could have made one from bits & two large fryingpans, then modified/improved the aerodynamics mate

danielsun · #16 10-04-2013, 11:05 PM

Thats a ripper John!

I remember watching it after school and my brother and I made our own Jupiter 2 ships using Two paper plates stuck together and drawing the windows and door on.

And that Dr Smith... boy I tell ya, if I was John Robinson I would have left him on one of those planets or fed him to one of the alien monsters!!

Top show!

asimov (John) · #17 12-04-2013, 10:30 AM

And all done. Very easy model. Everything is that tightly within tolerance as far as parts fitting each other, absolutely NO glue was used! Just sprayed aluminium silver & popped together.

Now for some interior lights!
