Space 1999 Ultra Probe Command Module

[dbhs]

Big update tonight.

Construction complete and primered.






The side thrusters are done except for weathering. This one is held on by magnets.


This side screws into the mounting point on the starboard side. The studio model mounted from this point so it will be in place when I'm using the bottom mount point.


Now the tricky part was the rear plate details. The only reference I have been able to come by are screen caps showing the actual original details. The studio model was modified sometime after filming with the version with 2 thrusters and the details are different. Since this images is the best I have I did my best to duplicate it.


Here's what I came up with in similar lighting to the screencap. Not a perfect match but close enough given the reference.


I also made this plate removable (held on with magnets) so if and when better reference comes to light I can scratch up a new one to swap out.
Here it is in better light. All the parts are from the same donor kit.


Thanks for looking. Next up is painting all the markings.
