HL-10 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I scratchbuilt this studio scale SHADO mobile a few years ago. Not being happy with the finish I decided to re-do it, incorporating the gun turret and mortar as featured in the episode "Sounds of Silence". I used original Tiger Joe wheels and tracks, and I did my best to source as many original greeblies as possible, scratchbuilding the ones I could not get hold of. The markings are from JBOT. Thanks for looking Angelo. 29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Shelter Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Brilliant - this is quite the sort of model that I love - and I'd really like to see it and have a really good look at this. One of my favourite TV sci-fi transports and reminds me of many a happy day when my old green Dink Shado 2 guarded my bedroom doorway threshold defending off my sisters invading Pippa dolls Top marks to you there 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I had (still have) the Corgi diecast of this vehicle, so I have a soft-spot for it, although mine was green. Thanks for the trip down memory lane 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Cracking stuff. A great scratchbuild indeed. The figures help to bring it to life I think. I've identified some of the greeblies too! @Mike You lose two housepoints and a gold star. It was a Dinky, not Corgi. Tsk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very neat touch. I did find a site one time, which listed what these bits were used. .. I was going to ask, so then I googled up "shado mobile greeblies" ....and got this which maybe of interest to folks as a comparison, and as link to the site listing the greeblies... http://www.davidsissonmodels.co.uk/shadomobile.htm cheers T PS now looking at Dave Sissons site, I realise it was your initial SHADO posting is where I found it from.... for anyone running across this, very well worth a look round if you like this sort of thing....

Plasto Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Mmmmm... http://www.davidsissonmodels.co.uk/moonbase.htm Thats dedication to the cause... Nice model of the SHADO mobile. I’m picking those Tiger Joe tanks are not now inexpensive to buy somewhat like classic photographic flash handles..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
