Terrahawks behind the scenes Model phots designs

Yes I also thought the Martian Exploration vehicle looked pretty poor - like someone had stood on it!The other Terrahawk model in Aliens was the Zelda space cruiser 'Fin' - named I assume because of the two big fins at the rear. It can be seen in the very far distance at the Gateway Station.

Terrahawks behind the scenes Model phots designs

Space Carrier? If you mean Big White One from 'First Strike' then the answer is unfortunately no I don't. The only photo that I have of the fighter is below (which appears to be made from bits of the Airfix 1/24th scale Harrier). There will be photos of all Zelda's spaceships and some guest craft.

Terrahawks behind the scenes Model phots designs

Several years ago I posted a few Terrahawk interviews on my website and some people asked if the photographs could be bigger, but at the time I was limited by webspace. However things have changed and I have now added a new section to my site just devoted to Terrahawk info - featuring design drawing...

New Terrahawks site

Yes, just checked and two are actually blown up in 'A Christmas Miracle', but as you say it is a dream episode so I guess it does not really count. It's slightly confusing because you just see two tanks together, then two get blown up during the battle, yet there are two left at the end? I think the...

New Terrahawks site

I believe that Battletank is only ever clearly destroyed in the episode 'Terratomb'. Although I seem to remember one appearing to be blown up in 'A Christmas Miracle', when the second tank (with special gun-turret) makes its one-off appearance.As for visual quality, Terrahawks marked a change in Ger...

Star Fleet sounds snatched from Space: 1999?

I am hearing what you say, but you are not comprehending my explanation. Yes I agree that you can hear Eagles taking off in the background, and it is the 'exact same sounds' - its good of you to spot it actually considering that you don't appear to be a big fan of 1999 -  but there is no crime here ...

Star Fleet sounds snatched from Space: 1999?

The effects sounds are not 'taken' from 'Space: 1999', it is simply that the sound effects were done by the same sound people. The people who provided the sounds for '1999' were hired from outside to do the job and although they would have created new sounds just for '1999' they would have had their...

My new Terrahawk Prop

Yes the working Zeroids do, but they have never been offered for sale as they belong to the builder Richard Gregory, although saying that they have actually been held, and displayed, for years by two people who ran the Gerry Anderson fan club.  The Spacehawk looks a bit thrown together because it wa...
