Gimme Shelter Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Hi I got lucky at the IPMS Telford Show - Matt Irvine very kindly spent a good time with me at our Farnborough team bench reminiscing on his BBC days with the Liberator and joined me for a picture of my completed Titan Find kit. The WIP link is here for you if interested - www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234978632-blakes-7-the-liberator-titan-find-resin-kit/ It took nearly a year of touch and go work, plus a mad rush in the last 2 weeks leading upto Scale Model World 2015, but I'm very pleased with the end product and the sign I designed to display the kit - I hope you like it too 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthewbacon Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 It looks fantastic! Great job.... and I'm sure Mat will have told you that it's WAAAYY better than the original effects model ;-P bestest, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Slightly off piste... when I was a young teenager watching Blakes 7 I had a bit of a 'thing' for Servilan. Sad, but true. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Very nice indeed. Does anyone else remember when Matt used to be a regular guest on Swap Shop on a Saturday? I used to enjoy those segments. BTW - is that a Spinosaurus in your hand there? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Mat Irvine I believe was a good friend of a guy my dad used to work with Terry Reed, a special effects guy.. I might be wrong but will ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard E Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Very nice indeed. Does anyone else remember when Matt used to be a regular guest on Swap Shop on a Saturday? I used to enjoy those segments. BTW - is that a Spinosaurus in your hand there? Indeed he did, and I'm sure he was on Blue Peter with similar regularity - on a similar note didn't Swap Shop once devote a whole programme to a modelling special?

AngstROM Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Beautiful finished model of the good ole Libby -the design always looked dead cool to me; sort of 'familiar but alien at the same time'. One of the greats, and superbly realised here! Slightly off piste... when I was a young teenager watching Blakes 7 I had a bit of a 'thing' for Servilan. Sad, but true. Entirely understandable.

stever219 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Always fancied Jenna! If only the BBC had thrown the sort of money that Star Trek got at Blake's Seven we'd be watching the spin offs from that now. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
