There was a joke going round at that time which went along the lines of "The Beeb had a £10 special effects budget that year...... £9 14shillings and 6 pence went on Dr Who,and they splurged the rest on Blakes 7........"

What Rob G said! Also,Polar Lights were teasing a Sulaco in (I think) 1:1000 scale some time back,but,I dont know what happened with that.

Hi,Will,I remember you fretting that you wouldnt be able to finish this in time for the show- so glad you did! Lovely fun build :-)

Not only,but also... He has been in Blakes Seven,Flash Gordon,X Files,Planet of the Apes,and many more!
