Rocketship

Many, many years ago I was gifted this resin model. When I say 'many, many' I mean 'nearly 20'. Today I finally assembled it. I always get there in the end.


There's a couple of 15mm figures next to it for scale, part of the same project I put it together for.

Now, does anyone recognise it?

(I mean, I know what it is. I just wondered if anyone else did.)

    I think that’s a Flash Gordon ship Alan. Possibly War Rocket Ajax?

    I think its a Flash Gordon ship. Maybe the original 30's series.

      Thanks for that; I've had real trouble finding a good image of the shuttle.

      I'm not sure if I'm going canon with the colours or not; it's for a HOTT army and I might colour it to match that rather than the film.

    One of the greatest movies ever made.

    And you took me to the cinema to see it. :-)

      Maya and I watched the first episode of the original Flash Gordon serial the other day. We're going back to the 'theater' next week to see the second thrilling part!
