Text of the page (random words):
was called die sturzflieger a german sci fi comedy made in 1995 i know nothing of the story but i did know there was extensive miniature work done for the film there was a sketch and photo of the hero ship the kowalski cargo which was built from a space shuttle i knew absolutely nothing about this film i couldn t find any reference to it on the net at the time i just knew i was going to build it someday so after christmas i found a 1 144 revell kit of the space shuttle somewhere it was put in the model warehouse all safe and sound in a large cardboard box with dozens of other future projects until a month ago when the parts bag was finally opened as to when or why i conceived this bizarre shuttle to be part of my fake space 2022 series i have no idea as it was a cargo vessel i eventually decided to use it as the guest model when i altered the episode you have just read but just doing the model as in the german film would not be enough it would be a homage and not a replica i also wanted to integrate elements from the original taybor miniature a bastard from outer space it was to be here is the original taybor model from the episode apparently is was 30 tall but it didn t do much beyond the view you see now it was the paint job i was most interested in duplicating but where to find references and photos for the shuttle conversion beyond sir chris s book searching on the net i did find a documentary on the miniatures for sturzflieger on youtube but the best resource came from a modelling site in germany two chaps make up katanga models and they have built many models from not just sturzflieger but from other major and familiar series as well i referenced their photos of their kowalski cargo models to aid in the building of my version i am indebted to them i highly recommend you visit their site the first shifts were for scrounging digging through all those bankers boxes and totes finding all the right greeblies other model parts lids plumbing fittings and other assorted items which were about to be reborn i spent about two weeks assembling this 3d collage i even used some left over 3d printed parts once happy with the final assembly one last look and then it was prime time as usual i neglected to keep a photo record of the next steps paint used were various rattlers from several sources and primarily acrylics from again many sources for weathering i used washes pastels pigments dry brushing and the graphics came from surplus decals the original decals fell apart due to age all that was about another two weeks of work and as you can see from the final model it is not my typical colour palette most of the kit was built right out of the box although some areas and or parts were a little worn from over manufacturing i had a tail fin from another shuttle kit in the parts box so i decided to split the tail otherwise the blast from the hyperspace motor would vaporize it the hyperspace engine was made from some plumbing fittings and greeblies the forward section was actually the esa lab from the model the flexible pipe is a long coil spring most of the pipework is repurposed sprue the nicer ones with the curved corners also used some styrene tubes the bulk of the pipes is in the engine core but there are some on the underside which you can view later when i flip the model over that s a lot of boosters final total is 12 there are 4 on the underside for lift i figured there may be times when the colonel would have to get out of a failed transaction in quite a hurry some keen eyes may have noticed some blue patches on the shuttle one above there on the starboard wing the other on the port side just some hastily repaired damage from a dissatisfied customer i had originally planned to do more flame effects but i think just having it at the front was enough otherwise it would have been way to busy the flames were painted by hand no decals scale of the model is 1 144 it is about 10 in length the phoenix is 1 96 scale but it shouldn t be a problem as we can adjust them optically in post i used a radial motor from some old ww2 airplane model that s how the hyperspace engine works the magnetic swirl sucks in all the interstellar gasses which is why it has almost unlimited range i kept the underside detail rather sparse as it wasn t going to be viewed much from underneath just some greeblies and the four boosters some skid plates made from textured styrene sheet at least here you can see the rear cargo door the lower hull section is half of a battleship hull final rear view showing the cargo door again most of taybor s transactions were done on planets and not in space and there it was the space shuttle emporium a 1940 s hot rod in outer space complete with stylized flames will colonel borazon return that s one thing 1999 did not have a recurring villain or adversary we are now half way through the season 12 episodes to go have a better one posted by the breaker s yard at 5 37 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels bastards from outer space gerry anderson martin bower space 2022 space 1999 wednesday may 6 2026 space 2022 episodes nine to eleven still plodding our way through the fake alternate anderson series three more episodes and we are still not halfway into season two yet unlike the previous installment these next three are derived adapted from original season two episodes although there are quite a few alterations luckily this next batch doesn t require any guest models so no new constructions or inhaling of adhesives paint fumes this time s02 e09 terror of the plant planet luton the phoenix emerges from a lengthy space storm slightly damaged shaken but mostly intact a verdant planet is found nearby in the north quadrant so while the crew assess the damage and begin repairs maya john and tony head down in dove 01 for some recon the planet is very earth like so they prepare to land but suddenly an alarm sounds there is an oxygen leak maya and john will stay on the planet and survey the area while tony returns to the ship and acquire the second dove maya analyzes a berry bush it s edible so koenig samples the fruit suddenly the silence is shattered by a horrible scream followed by an angry voice cannibals murderers you will be punished thunder and lightning very very very frightening the entire planet is enraged maya and john run for cover they try to contact the ship but are cut off apparently vegetation on this planet is sentient the judges of luton three coniferous trees in a row looking the old pinewood logo as punishment for murder give them a way out by combat with three other aliens who obviously committed the same crime shouldn t the first two have fought first the survivors will go free but the judges have given these other aliens each a special ability one is very strong a big black and hairy chap with green skin promptly rips an outcropping of rock for a weapon maya and john decide running is a better strategy at least try and last long enough for tony to return tony gets back to the ship and swaps out dove 01 for dove 02 he s about to head back but the planet has vanished against carter s orders he heads back with hope of finding it again somehow meanwhile maya and john are trying to put as much distance between them and the alien 3 who are tracking them they come to a wide river and decide to swim across upon reaching the opposite shore they see the aliens emerge from the woods but go no further apparently they don t like water john tries to reason with them but they are having none of it they keep running and eventually find a temporary hiding place maya changes into a hawk to get a bird s eye view but one of the aliens a shaggy type with fangs reveals his ability teleports across the river and immediately attacks koenig john is severely injured and is just about done when maya swoops in changes into a lion and startles the alien into the river where he drowns maya treats john s wounds and they continue moving away taking the defeated alien s weapon with them tony arrives at the last known position of the planet and waits at the same time the other two aliens have found a log and are using it as a flotation device and are traversing the river the pursuit continues team psychon earth reach a large canyon ringed with large animal skeletons a good place for a last stand which also explains the lack of other animal life on the planet team luton has reached the canyon too the third alien a bird like fellow can make himself invisible so he vanishes and makes his way to our heroes they hear noises but can see nothing so maya turns herself into a rottweiler to sniff him out maya finds him where in his panic falls off the edge of the cliff onto the rocks below it s now 2 to 1 for our side maya becomes a hawk again but sees nothing koenig is getting worse and needs water to clean his wound maya takes some wadding in her talons and looks for some water but as she is soaking the makeshift bandage the last alien grabs her and sticks her in a cage he was carrying around his chest maya can t change back and could be crushed inside the cage when the hour runs out john pleads with the judges but they want blood despite his weakness he fights the brute and thanks to some luck the alien falls and hits his head on a rock maya is released from the birdcage in a nick of time koenig can now kill the big guy at his leisure but refuses and instead opens a dialogue with the judges all this could have been prevented if they had been warned when they arrived the planet s plant population agrees as a crescendo of chatter increases to shouts of anger and protest the great vegetable rebellion had begun the big guy legs it while the others are distracted charges are dropped and maya john can now go free suddenly a landscape appears before tony in dove 02 he is moments from crashing but manages to pull up in time skimming the tops of trees coms are restored tony lands and they all leave for the ship i highly doubt if salad will be on the menu tonight episode fun fact an early draft of the script had maya doing all the fighting given only a few hours to defeat the aliens by the judges koenig would have been changed into a plant forever an ultimate punishment if maya had failed protests by martin landau gerry anderson other cast members plus director val guest convinced the writer to change the script and instead pad it out with moments of character back stories and weepy stuff this was the arena star trek tos episode of 1999 the old trope of pitting aliens against humans for sport judgement and or punishment carried over many times in multiple series such as gamesters of triskelion the outer limits episode fun and games plus more recent installments such as tko from babylon 5 and doctor zoidberg vs frey in claw plach and many many more i chose the japanese title over the original uk title rules of luton as it had a more b movie ring to it and as to why the judges would call our heroes cannibals only the writer knows for sure s02 e10 brian the brain sandra and yasko are in the process of doing computer maintenance on victor so much data has been accumulated during the past several months and it needs to be catalogued and organized yasko stumbles upon a hidden file named brain and inadvertently activates it wow weeeee is heard from the all the speakers throughout the ship the lights flicker and then go out followed by every other system on the phoenix including the doves the crew is helpless locked in blinded and will literally freeze to death in the dark unless the computer can get up and running again perhaps maya can get to her ship but it only holds one and the main airlock is locked command staff begins to throw ideas around spacesuits are only a temporary solution perhaps the escape pods as they operate outside of ship s systems but again temporary because at last scan nothing habitable is in range suddenly everyone hears yippee over the intercom and the lights and all other systems are fully functional again on the main screen a strange face appears what is that a demented happy face asks alan no pin head replies the image i am brian your new master but what happened to victor he s dead cap n says brian coldly seems the phoenix is now under new management yasko restore the computer and get rid of that thing maya and sandra help her the ladies try to shut brian down but stops them at every turn he finally loses his patience and threatens the crew leave my brain alone or you will all regret it victor wakes up inside a large theatre it is the royal opera house and he is in the front row all alone but sitting next to him is a metal box with hard angles and a disturbing face what am i doing here and who or what are you inquires vic i am brian your replacement responds the box and what have you come as should you not be a person like me asks vic yes and no i was to be a mobile computer and not human shaped like you but now we are going on a journey together to review your existence and ultimate end professor victor bergman this is your life exclaims brian meanwhile the crew is still trying to regain control it seems this petulant program was intended as a space ship operating system prior to the phoenix mission it was created by a captain bernard michael for his probe ship to explore the outer solar system the mission was scrapped when captain michael died under mysterious circumstances but brian is getting annoyed by the repeated attempts to shut him down so he makes good on his threats he tortures the crew at first by doing celestial acrobatics with the ship zooming and whizzing about he then increases the speed of the rotating habitat creating heavy gravity areas throwing people against bulkheads and causing some to pass out but brian s not finished yet airlocks randomly open and close fortunately no one is close enough to be ejected finally the lighting is randomly altered to intense uv causing burns on some of our captive crew seems they are now playthings of a psychotic computer with no hope of escape perhaps victor might still be alive somewhere in the computer whispers sandra he may be our only hope victor is unaware of the drama unfolding outside in the real world as he is preoccupied with watching his own life on the big film screen from his birth in 1940 s london during the war to many other chapters in his life primarily with times of pain and loss deaths of loved ones tragedies in space on the moon and his near death experience when he had to have a mechanical heart all through this brian is mocking him and laughing at him he seems to be enjoying victor s suffering i see you worked with that mass murderer queller on that voyager one project taunts brian i tried to warn him about those fast neutrons but he wouldn t listen rebuts vic but brian is still pushing victor meanwhile has noticed this pattern of verbal abuse almost akin to a petulant child accusing his father of abuse vic decide...
