So your Spacex collection is now complete! Nice
I like the little extra details you've added to the Hawk, like inlet vents, ailerons and riveted panels
What's next? Are you planning on making an Apollo collection?  _________________

Thanks. I'm not actually sure what's next. There are 3 larger Spacex toys that were made as well, I might have a go at them. |

Just a suggestion because I think it's a cool looking aircraft, but how about one of these?

It's the experimental aircraft from the real crash footage in the opening credits of The Six Million Dollar Man  _________________

It's a cool aircraft. I have sort of done it with my conversion of the space glider toy. I'll try to find the pictures. |

Ah yes, I think I remember that one!
I guess they called it "Space Glider" because the M2-F2 and other "lifting body" aircraft were mostly gliding in test flights and landings... Which eventually led to the idea of the Space Shuttle being glided to its landing  _________________

With his usual skill, Grainger sets the Hooded Swan down in an idyllic location which will doubtless reveal hidden dangers.

I have made a replica of the limpet used to destroy spacejunk in the UFO episode 'Conflict'. The original seems to be made from kits of the Saturn V, the Honest John missile and the Invaders flying saucer. I only had the SaturnV kit so scratchbuilt the rest.

Bit of fun, a Space:1999 Commlock made out of Lego! (I didn't invent this, I nicked the idea off another forum!)
The last picture is it next to my scratchbuilt replica.

I don't take many pictures of my larger DW props because it is hard to find good settings for them. I've put together some compilations of images of my Dalek Sec and K9 replicas taken from various exhibitions and fundraising events that they have been to (K9 also got to meet John Leeson!).

I really like the design of the Teselecta Antibodies from the episode 'Let's Kill Hitler', so I have scratchbuilt myself a replica.
