UHU02 UFO Interceptor

[Gixergs]

At the end of last year a very important part of my childhood,Gerry Anderson, passed away a small message at the top of UHU02's site has just made the loss a little easier to bear, "Next work ... under construction at the memorial go UFOinterceptor Jerry Anderson"

Nothing to show yet but it's on it's way!

Wow, I'm beyond excited.....This is awesome news!!!! Thank you Mr. UHU02!

That is really cool and shows the community that has formed around the world. Thanks for posting that Gixergs, and for keeping us up on so many things. You are really appreciated around here!

It starts! :thumb:

Thank you for your efforts in this design. I know that I am getting ahead of things but will this model have a cockpit interior? Enjoy and see you around the forums.

 

[Gixergs]

I believe UHU02 does intend to include a cockpit,I might have to try and build Gary Pilsworth version again just to help keep the excitment under control

 

[Zathros]

Gary Pilsworth has been the ultimate Gerry Anderson fix for all of us! Quite right to mention him here.

Let me give you a couple of goodies to tide you over....

the black and whites were some Japanese premiums that came out with the release of the DVD box set...

The simple color Mobile I found on the web some time ago....

Aaaand there's Gary Pilsworth's models available at Dave Pileggi's site:

Forgot Ed Straker's car:

[Gixergs]

Cool thank you.I helped to push Ed Straker's car into a garage many years ago when it was being sprayed for Dave Lee Travis at a place called Mech Spray near where I lived.

Wish the series had had a third season....I think it's probably the darkest of all the Anderson series.

 

[Gixergs]

It certainly was a very dark program,the episode with Strakers son still gives me chills to think about it.There was going to be another series of UFO but it turned into Space 1999 instead

 

[ARMORMAN]

Yep...all due to ITC...

 

[Gixergs]

UHU02 has been busy on the UFO Interceptor

 

[Gixergs]

Looking very nice:thumb:

 

[silveroxide]

The plans are coming along nicely, can't wait for the unfolding to begin.

 

[Gixergs]

UHU02 has started on the cockpit

There was a design by Bob McCall for a never made Buck Rogers TV series which looked like a little brother of the UFO Interceptor:

Pre-production artwork was featured in Starlog no. 16. I'm wondering, was Bob McCall involved in UFO as well, or is it just a coincidence..?

[ARMORMAN]

No. Bob was never involved with UFO.

 

[Revell-Fan]

So, coincidence, or influence..?
