Red Dwarf. No contest. Rest can go home now....... Which Red Dwarf, the model or the CGI version? There is a difference?  |

I've always liked the Heart of Gold. But tie fighters are pretty awesome too

Yo! Blakes Seven! Woo woo! Ok, now I've got that out of my system.. I like the Liberator too. I also like the Eagles from Space:1999 (I have one of the die-cast ones too) and the Enterprises from Star Trek. My favourite: probably the Cryptosian (if I remember correctly) ship from a Dan Dare story in Eagle comic. The ship designs in those stories were amazing. I'll see if I can scan a picture and add it. |

One other interesting thing about the Space: 1999 Eagle is that the first miniature of the Millennium Falcon actually looked quite a bit like it -- enough so that George Lucas asked for a new design after he'd seen Space: 1999. The original Millennium Falcon miniature became the Rebel blockade runner -- minus the cockpit, which was cut off and attached to the new Falcon miniature.

As promised, the Cryptosian spaceship:  From the Dan Dare story "The Man From Nowhere" first published in the late 1950's, and dawn by Frank Hampson and Don Harley. All their ships were great - the space fleet ones being traditional rockets with glass noses (exept for Dan's flyer Anastasia) but the alien ships were really out of this world (no pun intended....well, maybe a bit ;D). |

Yeah, that's pretty cool. I've always had a thing for rocketships.

Starship Dimensions is a great site.
I think Jay should have a place to put space related stuff if it isn't Apollo related. Although I don't know if Sf qualifies as such.

As an aside, I like your new avatar wdmundt. Destination Moon? Mind if I emulate? My cat hates wearing that mustache anyways... The new avatar is actually an original design for a new movie I hope to make down the road a ways. It will be a 1950s-style rocketship movie that will be a companion piece to the 1950s-style horror movie I'm still finishing. A friend did the design -- and we're still working on it. The fins will be a bit different, as will the bullet shapes on the ends of the fins. |
