Another short lived science fiction show.
The model is 25 inches long and only 150 will be built. It is won't be available until December. You can pre-order this for only $1499.95 from Fabgearusa.com.

There is just not a show in the 'verse that I love enough to pay $1499.00 for a model based on that show. Not even Firefly. Sorry.

I do have fond memories of the show "UFO", though.

Very nice, but what Mike said.

I know. I just could not help putting this thread up. I would never spend that much.

See this? I paid $32 with shipping plus $6 for additional Testors paint and $6 for batteries.

$44 is a lot less than $1200.

Yowza, that's nuts.

My Buddy Don - it ain't just Star Trek TOS stuff he has (he builds his own, mind, and he's *real* good at it) but also a lot of this kinda thing, I know he has one of these interceptors, some other ship/vehicle from the show, The Flying Sub, Rocket Ship Ajax (Flash Gordon), a whole bunch of that kind of thing - I seriously *covet* his 36" Space Battleship Yamato.

PS. Btw Trav - dunno if I ever mentioned it before, but I always liked Lt Ellis too.

You did a great job with the Enterprise. The one thing I like about the original Enterpise is its clean lines.

UFO had a lot different vehicles. All models. No computer graphics in the 70's.

Thanks. I just 10 minutes ago finished the last detail (the white globes on the rear end of the nacelles). The design is flawless; the paint job was not.

My favourite ship on UFO was the ufo itself!

At 15 I made one out an Apollo capsule model & scraps & hung it by a thread so I could spin it. It really looked good. Wish I still had it, but lots of my stuff got lost in various moves.

Amazing mode! I'd love to have that as well, but my real favorite was always SkyDiver!

I hear they finally came out with a die-cast model of it!

When I was a kid, I got the Dinky Toys version of the Interceptor, which was painted emerald green, yet they never came out with the SkyDiver, which actually was green!
