About a year ago I finally got to see all the episodes of Space: 1999 and became an instant fan. This is sci-fi from my childhood and love it. So today I fired up some episodes on Hulu and tackled this model. It's the Moonbase Alpha launch pad by S.C. Killenbeck. It's a fun, easy model that looks really nice when done.
This part is simple, but it comes with an internal strengthener. I cut it out of 2mm chipboard and it worked great. However, the end that meets the pad isn't quite the right shape so I had to do some trimming. I recommend cutting the notch back farther. It won't hurt the stability.
