My Favorite Martian

From Apollo and Soyuz, to Gerry Anderson, Irwin Allen, Star Wars and Trek to Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and those strange, doe-eyed Japanese school girls...to any model kits you can think of, that only exists in imagination.

My Favorite Martian

Post by IvanV22 »

My Favorite Martian.
I remember this TV show from when I was a kid and lived in the USA.
When the model came I just had to have it!!!
Its build out of the box and painted with Vallejo Akryl, the instrument panel is transparent so some of the displays are painted on the back side.
There is a little dust in the paint on the spaceship, maybe I should have removed it in Photoshop, but that would have been cheating!
The base is made from model clay, the type that doesn’t need baking.

That's fantastic. How makes that kit? I loved that show as a kid. Granted it was in reruns at the time but I still loved it

Hi.
Pegasus made the kit, kit nr 9012, scale 1/18.
It was a easy kit, not many parts, most time was spent painting.
I was first thinking of making it as it crashed into the earth, but then made it like it was repaired and ready for the return to Mars.
I also loved this when I was a kid, I lived then in Brooklyn N.Y.
Have you seen the episodes on YouTube?
