HL-10 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 The vital link for SHADO's Moon Base is the Lunar Module, ferrying equipment and personnel to and fro. Launching from Earth aboard it's carrier vehicle, then separating at the extreme atmosphere to make its way to Moon Base. The kit is solid resin produced by Alfred Wong: http://www.alfredsmind.ca/shadolunarmodule.html Along side the model from Konami Thanks for looking, Angelo 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galligraphics Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Very nicely finished Angelo . I always liked the fish-like look of the Lunar Module. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfa1983 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Ok so it's not just me who thought it looked like a fish! Never seen this before but it looks great! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HL-10 Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 Thanks everyone, glad you like it! Seriously thinking of scratchbuilding the carrier to go with it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 That's brilliant, great painting. It's a bit scary to remember something so well (the TV series) and then realise those memories are over 50 years old! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Lovely. I think it looks more like a trilobite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Monty Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Lovely work on that shuttle. Scratch building that carrier will be a task, with all those curves, but a fun project to get stuck into. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter2 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 The full series of UFO is currently running each weeknight on Legend channel, if you want to catch some episodes. A bit of background: UFO is set in the year 1980, when apparently: office typewriters won't have display screens; smoking cigarettes and cigars is allowed at your office; no one in the UK will need to wear a seatbelt in a car, but will now drive on the right-hand side of the road (instead of the left). The wife of Commander Straker, one of the main characters, was annoyed that he spends away so much time away from home at his work: she suspected that actually he's having an affair - this causes anguish in their relationship. [I never understood why Straker didn't just tell her the simple truth: that he is secretly a key part of Earth's armed force which is fighting alien invaders who come from outer space, and as a result he sometimes has to travel a great distance, to a base located on the Moon. Any trusting spouse would have to believe that.] 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bags I a seat at the front for that one! The module looks great, nicely weathered. I could never figure out how the blunt nose works during re-entry though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Very well done. The shape reminds me of something else but I can't quite work out what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
