DSV Liberator from the British serial "Blake's 7."   Model from Comet Models from 1990.  No scale given.  Still needs a bit of work to highlight the details and weather it a bit.

Disney's RM-1 Moon Rocket, Strombecker, 1:67, 1958

Disney's Atomic-Powered Space Stationt, Strombecker, 1:200, 1958

Lindberg's Lunar Lander, with custom made base.  The paintjob was made after the box art and customized to fit into the '50 era.

This is VinCent from the Disney movie "The Black Hole" produced by Monogram.  It was built mostly straight from the box. I just didn't follow the instruction when I made the two balls that he has as legs.  They're just one half of some used spheres to get the look of the Movie robot.

This is the Airfix "Space:1999" Hawk on a Warp Eagle Lift.  The Hawk was significantly redone by adding a lot of small details to get the look of the studio model.  Also, the color was made to look that way. Finally, I added some spare decals from all kind of kits to get it look "real".

The Eagle Lift is one of my first resin kits I built.  The most difficult part was the airbrsuhing to get it to look like the tv show kit.
