After she played that part she used to pose nude for art classes. I think she was doing that for years. So you missed a chance there mate.

Another vote for Discovery from 2001, cool '60's interior too and some great spacesuits.

Dave wrote:As a lad I used to get the TV21 comic which had all the Gerry Anderson shows in comic strip form.

One series in that comic was about a space ship called "ZERO-X".

I think it had a minor part only in the film made for the US called "Thunderbirds are Go". But in the comic it was my favorite story.

It was really an updated version of Fireball XL-5. The rocket ship was very similar in basic shape and function.

I often wished I could get a model of that one. One did come out eventually but I am not sure when. I tried to make one out of my Leggo.

Here yer go Dave;

Thanks Kev but I think I will pass. I just had to pay out another $100 for a bit for the Corvette. Diana's fault. I wanted to buy a pair of sway bar end links. She moaned about it and said I should make do with just replacing the one end that is obviously knackered.
Well now I have to buy another and pay the shipping again because now I find the other one has a bit of play in it as well.

I have a right monk on about it.

Anyway, I am still building my SR-71 model. Tiny bit at a time.

'Flight Of The Navigator'.
Bit of a lame kids movie but it had some redeeming qualities- Mainly the spectacular shape-shifting thought-controlled liquid-metal ship piloted by a 12 year-old...
