Venus Space Probe? (6 Million Dollar Man)

[SciFirepower]

Lately I have been obsessed with building a replica of the Venus Space Probe from the Six Million Dollar Man. I have not been able to source any good information about what the prop was built from.

If you have any reference pics, measurements, or other info, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Hm, Venus probe. I thought I had some reference on that in my files but apparently not. Lost in the great Hard Disc Crash of '08.

I do note that there was a toy version, but it's really rare.

You must have been moving very slow in your dreams.

LOL... The toys look better than the actual prop from the show!

By the way it moves, and turns, I believe that it was built on one of those six wheel atv's. It was also used in the movie "Heart Beeps".

Ooooh, I haven't seen this in a long time! aka Death Probe. It was the sound that scared the hell out of me. I still have the toy somewhere.

Good luck with making a replica! Can't believe they haven't released the series on DVD/Blu-Ray yet. Would be good for reference.

Found some info and pics here:

And Google search turns up a few pics as I'm sure you've found.
