Every few years I ask around for photos of The Space 1999 Ultraprobe or the Predator Ship form the first movie. There doesn't seem to be any good stuff. Everyone has the same few crappy shots. So anyone have any better references?

While not the original, I would say Jim's work is as accurate as you will find.

Here are a few screen grabs.

Excellent, Lloyd! Thanks!

 

[terryr]

Thanks for the grabs. That will help with the base too, which is a part of the ship they docked with.

Also, try the Catacombs at space1999.net.

I found my folder of printouts from a few years ago. I noticed the recent photos of the 5 footer don't match the details of the broadcast so it has changed.
It seems the best images were from the Cybrary. It even had an article of a copy being made along the original 5 footer. Too bad my printouts aren't the greatest, and the cybray was shut down cold by the owner a few years ago.

However the printouts had the web address at the top. I used the wayback search at http://www.archive.org/index.php, but the squatters who have the page now don't want it pulled, and wayback 'respects their wishes'. They're just stupid squatters who grab sites and sell their own crap on them.

Anyone know of another archiver that will alllow the search for the site?

Actually the details of the five footer haven't changed but the front cone just behind the command module has at some time parted company with the main ship and been stuck on again upside down.

I didn't know about that. However I have photos from the time it was made, and later photos have many pieces missing. The dragon ship also has pieces broken off and black color bands added around the 'necks'.

Work is progressing. I'm scratchbuilding most of the details to match the 6 foot original, although mine is 3 foot.

a bit off topic, but I happen to have watched that very episode yesterday

 

[Lloyd Collins]

Got a great looking start!

 

[terryr]

Thanks LC.

Garbaron, where did you see it? TV or DVD? It seems that I need to buy the complete set to get Dragons Domain on a bonus disc.

 

[Lloyd Collins]

Dragons Domain is in the regular set of year one, and also on the bonus disc.
