Kallisti Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Well its complete! I can't say this is entirely 100% accurate - the kit is a bit too rubbish to get too close to the studio model and this at least LOOKS like Sky 1! So without further ado, over to Captain Carlin... and now to don my string vest and leap into the garbage chute... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 You've made a damn good job of it, even if it isn't the most stunning kit. I doubt anyone would notice anyway, as they'll be too busy looking at the base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Vale Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 That came out really well. The picked out panels add a lot, and like everyone else I love the base. Even better because you mounted it with a bit of asymmetry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMChladek Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 UFO approaching... speed Sol 8. Scramble interceptors. Put Skydiver on standby! Sweet looking model and a VERY nice job given what you had to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Absolutely awesome! You've done an incredible job on that kit! I'm a big fan of UFO and this is just the most impressive model I have seen based on the series (The theme is my ring tone and the sound of the UFO flying is my text alert) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Heath Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Wow that is stunning, the base is amazing. I always used to think cotton wool as smoke looked a bit naff but you've changed my mind. The effect achieved here is very dynamic and purposeful. Brilliant job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Lovely model, Kallisti. And that title sequence, with its incredibly accurate prediction of what 1980 would be like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngstROM Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Superb job! The water effect is just awesome. Now, I'll grant you they did a reasonable job of fending off stroppy aliens, but did Harlington-Straker ever make a single motion picture...? Thought not -pahh!
