S:99 SPINE BOOSTER CARGO POD

[DARKVIEW]

Hi, kinda part in the right section… but let me know if I should move it!

thought I’d show you all my MPC Space:1999 studio scale 22” Eagle transporter & kit spine boosters with my own scratch-built cargo pod carrier variant.
l‘d had in mind for sometime to create a some sort of new cargo pod & came up with this…kind of a hauler for broke/or need of repair lifts to service stations around the Moonbase Alpha areas…More to follow on its make, it’s mainly recycled part bashes that I clue together then glue …

Martin Bower would approve, me thinks,
; ) Looks like something he would build for the show.

Did he liked it?

He’s not seen any of these or ones of late, not chatted in ages to him, infact he only ever seen one I did when I was ten, ha ha! It was so ****, he kindly from then on gave me advice with loads of letters & photos…. Years later me met then I did a bit graphic design for him for a cover idea for his book, it didn’t get used tho somehow.. (must find it) and I must get back in touch come to mention it.

Good afternoon. Very nice indeed. I love Space:1999. One of my favorite shows of the 70's. I'm so thankful for the resurgence of interest over the last 10 years or so. Martin Bower would approve of your work, I'm certain. It's beautiful.
Cheers,
Kevin

This build is absolutely beautiful. If I may suggest, there is a Facebook group called Space 1999 Props and Ships that would love to see this piece. Would you consider checking out the group? The group is comprised for collectors, builders and passionate fans of the show.
