<< I just received a reply to my letter to MPC / ERTL about the re-issue of
Space: 1999 model kits. Unfortunately, I got a form letter thanking me
for my interest. A copy of their current hobby product line was
included. No Space: 1999 models listed. The list projected kit release
dates up to 9/97 so they may be coming after then. Does anyone have
anything more concrete in writing? If I recall, this claim about a
re-issue of the model kits came out at roughly the same time that
"cartoon man" was making his claims about animated episodes. Someone may
have seen an opportuinity to throw more buffalo chips on the fire by
claiming the models were being re-released.
I'm bummed out man. :-( >>
I'm afraid I'm a bit in the dark about any model re-release, but I thought I
might add my two cents worth on the subject. I worked in a hobby shop for
five years, so maybe I have a bit better perspective on such things... who
knows? Anyway, I'm not certain MPC/ERTL could re-release any of the
Space:1999 kits. If my rusty memory serves, they were all Airfix kits from
England that were re-boxed for U.S. distribution in a marketing arrangement
with the old AMT/ERTL. I don't think MPC/ERTL actually has the molds.
I think they may have been re-issued in the U.K. in the early 80's, but I
have no hard data about that, just the vague recollection of a school-buddy
who spent a summer abroad one year.
On a related topic- the November 1996 issue of Fine Scale Modeler had a
nice article on how to detail the Airfix Eagle so that it more accurately
reflects the real deal. It's a lot of work, but it makes a handsome looking
model.

Hiya Alphans!
I was just watching my DIGITALLY REMASTERED copy of The Empire Strikes
Back, and noticed something that I have never noticed before, although I
probably should have!
In the scene where Hoth base is being attacked by Imperial AT-AT
Walkers, look out for the scenes where the interior and pilots of one of
the walkers is shown. Look carefully at the pilot. It's none other than
the guy who palys Jarak in "Alpha Child"! You don't actually realise it
until you sort of make a double take at the screen!
He looks virtually the same, anyone know his actual name?

Not that I don't think 1999 was innovative, but anyone ever noticed the
things that 1999 ripped off from 2001:ASO?
For starters:
-the moonbase (Clavius in 2001) - look at the concentric rings of
buildings radiating out from a central point
-the space suits (orange/yellow helmets)
-the Eagles (not a direct rip-off, but similar in design philosophy
to the Clavius moon bus)
BTW, I think I remember a moon fight scene in 1999 where an alphan's
space suit leg pulled up high enough to see the pants beneath and reveal
that there was, in fact, no seal on the leg-cuff of the suit.
DECOMPRESSION!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
Cheers.

BTW, he also guest-starred in what is generally considered one of the most
popular DW episodes: "City of Death." He played an alien. In that same
episode, Catherine Schell guest-starred as his wife, who didn't even
suspect her husband was an alien.

Yes, it would. In fact, I work for the publishing company that publishes
FineScale Modeler. I'd be willing to send Marcy or Robert my office copy of
that issue and have her scan that article (with which I helped with some of
the background info), if either would be willing to do that.

If all the experienced astronauts were in danger from some unknown

to give Cellini a second chance and TPTB may not have had a choice
but to accept someone who had not had long term exposure to the

Greg:
Actually, as I stated in my previous message to the list, *I* wouldn't be
scanning the article. It would be scanned by Robert Ruiz or Marcy K for
inclusion at one of their websites.
If you want to get that back issue, which you might be able to get sooner
than waiting for the article to be scanned, then you should visit the
FineScale Modeler magazine website at http://www.finescale.com/
There's information there about purchasing back issues.
Keep in mind that it could take me a while to find out if we can get
permission to reproduce the article on-line. Until then, it might be
quickest for everybody on the list who is interested to think about buying
the back issue of Nov. 1996.
