Otherwise, yes, I would have gone insane before completing its assembly.Shawn Driscollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05570554975738301255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-82003490603763964102012-12-09T23:32:19.613-05:002012-12-09T23:32:19.613-05:00Oh, an update to my previous post; I had no idea j...Oh, an update to my previous post; I had no idea just HOW modified this kit was from the original "Moonscope". Just take a look at the original here:<br />http://www.showrods.com/showrod_pages/moonscope.html<br />I saw one of the 2002 reissue kits in a store recently. It looks a hell of a lot more like "The Alien" than it does the original kit it's being marketed as.<br /><br />Dep1701Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-40308652299978049692011-11-06T23:26:34.005-05:002011-11-06T23:26:34.005-05:00I actually bought one of these stupid things.

I built and painted it to match the box art, and as a model it looked okay, but totally ludicrous to try and relate this to "Space:1999". MPC was notorious for doing stuff like this though; at around the same time, they re-released their 1966 kit of the 'Monkeemobile', modified with the front of the roof piece chopped half off, as "Fonzie's Dream Rod" ( including a newly tooled Fonzie figure ) to cash in on the popularity of "Happy Days". Fonzie must have been amazingly prescient to dream up a 1960's GTO back in the '50s!<br /><br />Dep1701Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-68637798000716984132011-04-18T13:43:48.282-04:002011-04-18T13:43:48.282-04:00Wow...bucket seats!Wow...bucket seats!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04157952529413529997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-60783579139029321482011-04-18T13:28:52.398-04:002011-04-18T13:28:52.398-04:00As a fan of all things Moon Buggy, I can say that ...As a fan of all things Moon Buggy, I can say that is one dope Buggy!Dr. Mindbenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05176414823387403896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-2578027130388846462011-04-16T11:42:07.375-04:002011-04-16T11:42:07.375-04:00Back in the '70s when SPACE:1999 was first air...Back in the '70s when SPACE:1999 was first airing this car model was such a disappointment, Fundimensions should have made one of the Alpha moonbase LASER TANKs.<br /><br />SGBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
