None of the spaceships wre built by me, but I know where most of them
came from :
The three shuttles are Imai Eagles from Space 1999
(http://space1999.tv-toys.co.uk/imai-eagle.htm) painted in not-Space
Marine blue. Reasonably priced back in 1990 when they were still in
production, hideously expensive now - but perfect for 15mm at 1/110th
scale.
The big black ship was made by fellow Brigadier Phil Richards from two
Red October submarine hulls glued side-by-side, with a scratchbuilt
cockpit (mostly transparent and fully detailed inside with crew, etc).
The final vessel is of unknown origin - I believe it's a very old Airfix
kit that Phil had in his youth and resurrected for the game.
I will endeavour to get hold of and photograph examples of these when I
can and add them to the gallery page.
