Her Majesty’s Skyship HMS Hyperion by gnomemeansgnome

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.

With Peter Davidson IIRC.
I remember a Pirate Ship and a Clipper, seem to recall a Greek galley as well. Think it was a race by "Q" type beings who 'borrowed' the ships and crews from Earth's history.
Yeah I did actually look it up. It was a serial called Enlightenment and was of Peter Davidson’s best. It was also the end of the Black and White Guardians story arc.

Cheers, Stuart. I look at it and think about taking it down and mucking around with it some more, and then successfully talk myself out of it, otherwise nothing gets finished and my cramped and crowded workbench gets overwhelmed. I have a few more flying ship ideas ticking in my head. Onward and upward.

That is magnificent! It belongs on a prog-rock album cover from the 70's :grin:
Best wishes

That is quite creative, I like it. I recently picked up the HMS Bounty kit from Revell and rather then do the (done a million times) Bounty I was thinking some kind of steampunk airship of some kind
