Blake 7(?) shuttle
« on: June 22, 2013, 02:20:34 AM »

Ok, I have never seen black seven, I kinda know what it is but still never seen it.  But it seems lots of folk in here are doing things with it and I do love the figures  by crooked dice so I thought this might be of interest to some

Thank you for the info. I think that might be just the right size for gaming. I wish they said how tall the thing was, instead of how wide. Even if it's too small it could always be a background piece. Every set needs window dressing.

I suspect it'd look best arranged like a rocket - stern on the ground.
I'm not sure about this model, if you remove the wings it looks like something I might find in the drawer of the wife's bedside table...

it was used several times in the show, if memory serves it was the pod with the hibernating criminals in it and it was the shuttle that Roy Evans from Eastenders got blown up in which led to them discovering Orac...

This is the shuttle you found. Size looks about right as it was just a 2-3 man ship.
Good find, thanks for sharing.

Well it's one way to persuade your missus to accept your wargaming purchases...

I'd make sure the spike on the nose was removed first though...

When i was younger never really got Blake's Seven, now though a little older and more tolerant and able to keep attention on things, its starting to grow on me
