Kesa TihoThat astronaut on the ground reminded me of something. I saw a clip from a movie about some war on the moon. It made me think about the fact that war on earth is bad enough but war in space is horrifying. When you get shot on earth you can hide in a ditch, take some rest, tend to your wound and either go back to base or into the fight. If you get shot in space and it penetrates your suit your done for, you just die, no amount of bandages can help you in the few seconds you have. The last thing you see is the vast emptiness of space and/or the person who killed you. Your body dosent even decompose into the earth. You just lay there till you get back to earth or incinerated. Wow, see gorby a good build makes a person think about more than what meets the eye, this build is a perfect example. It makes you think. 11/10

Mark SherwoodUFO. One the best Gerry Anderson TV series. As far as world building and back story, intelligent scripts. Two things though the Moon Base Interceptors should of had cannons in case those humoungous missile's missed and Gabrielle Drake, fuelled a lot of fever dreams in my early teens. I could of been eleven though!

BohrmannVery nice job gorby. Scratchbuilding is still a special discipline in modelling, one that you clearly master..

gorbyThanks very much Bohrmann, with scratch-building I think I still have plenty to learn. 🙂

Album info
I'm not into sci-fi models and I can't remember watching 'UFO' when it was on the telly, but I was sort of press-ganged into a groupbuild on another site and had to choose something. For various reasons, rather than the full three months, I only had six weeks to build it. I managed it in five weeks and enjoyed it enormously.
It is entirely scratch-built in 1/48.
I hope you like it.
(Incidentally, aliens dress in orange and white jumpsuits apparently).
