Has anyone got any good, clear shots of the studio scale Planet of the Apes miniature?

I'm looking particularly for a good shot of the rear third of the ship.

Some years ago my best friend made a model with interior and painted the back end black but we've come to believe this is incorrect (he worked from a very small picture).

Sincerely,

Peter

A shot of an exact replica, cast off the original miniature, can be found here:

For the record, I saw the production miniature in person in its original (per-restoration) condition, and I can assure you the "back end" was painted a dull, medium-dark silver.

Thank you.

My friend's going to be touching up my model, adding proper flag decals. I'll get him to repaint the end.

Cheers,

Peter

I would love a 5ft Icarus from POTA. Where can I get one that is cast off the original?...
