  • Make sure you have it ready by 04-27-2012!

  • @scud1962 What's on 4-27????

  • The one big problem with the original model in the film was that it was much too small.

    The interior set shown in the beginning of the first movie is bigger than the whole model used for the exterior scenes :-D

    Thats a common space ship model problem in many old sci-fi movies. Propably a cost related issue which was considered unimportant enough to be a little sloppy with it. :-)

    I would call this the Dr.Who effect. Bigger on the inside ;-)

  • @Celeon999A - I'm actually in the process of building the interior (been going on quite some time.. wish I had more time. Let's see if I can squeeze it in :)

  • Nice work! I ahve to design a spacecraft similar to this style and build the actaul miniature for an indie film maker. I still have always wondered what the rest of this ship woul dhave looked like. It was probably a rocket of some type since rockets were (and still are) all we have.

  • @Cosmicorigins: Would love to see some pics!

  • @terryjohn

    Not sure. Propably not. The one in the second was all smashed and burned as it made a crash landing and there were only certain pieces of it visible in a handful of scenes.

  • the ship also appears in the illustrated man, the segment it appears in was based on a short story by Ray Bradbury called the long rain. I believe that it was used because it was already constructed, and it fit the vague description of the ship from the story.

  • @Celeon999A was the same  ship used in the 2rd-??

  • @scifyjunkie it his...return mod.
