Any 'Far Side of the Sun' props or SS models out there?

Not sure how many folks remember this gem.

But Gerry and Sylvia Anderson did the FX work on it, and we have here some Space: 1999 fans, AND some Thunderbirds fans.

Just wondering what all is out there, and if anyone has any screen caps, or even remembers this cross between James Bond and The Twilight Zone.

I love that film, it really has some great stuff in it but unfortunately other than a few small resins of the Dove and one large kit out of the UK there really has not been much. The UK Dove kit may be studio scale but I’m not 100% on that.

There was a small Phoenix and Dove from Mini Model Madness but I’ve never seen either of the kits in person.

Of course a ton of the stuff from that film ended up being used in Anderson’s UFO.

The space suits especially were used on UFO (with the odd over-the-shoulder pack).

One of the helmets even showed up on Space 1999.

Yup, even a couple of space suits from "Moon Zero 2" showed up there!

This film, scared the bejesuzz out of me, to the point of giving me nightmares.

I was at high school when i saw it, and had a math teacher who was left handed, which most of the character's were in the film.


Brings back all sorts of scary memories.:unsure

My brothers and I loved "Journey to The Far Side of The Sun" when we saw it in the theater as kids. We thought the Dove/Doppleganger was the coolest ship. We all wanted to be astronauts and my brother did become and F-15 pilot and now flies for Delta. We still love the Dove/Doppleganger.

How about the astronaut Gerry Anderson Pistol in the crash scene ? :love
