MunkyslutThat's fantastic!
My favourite Gerry Anderson TV prog back in the early 70's, such cool machines, the SHADO's, the Interceptors, even Strakers car

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..

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

gorby AuteurThanks very much Paul. Now that I've had to remove the dead build report link I'll see if I can add some of the build photos on here - if I get time.

Mr DLooks Great Gorby 😀👍 Nice clean, fun build. I was only a toddler when the Gerry Anderson programs were on TV ...... My mom said l was terrified of the character's as there moving eyes creeped me out 🤣.
Glad it's good memories for you 😁👍. And many others.

gorby AuteurThanks Mr D. For me it was 90% about the amazing vehicles rather than the characters and I can well see why they would be seen as creepy by some younger kids.

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).
