Thanks to all of you who voted for this Small Art Works kit! Winner of the Starship Modeler "SCI-FI ACCESSORY OR CONVERSION" Best of 2000 Award! dollars for the kit with decals (including surface shipping within North America) is $110 U.S. This Moonbase Alpha model is sure to be an interesting and impressive addition to any Space:1999 fan's collection! The model is surrounded by a stylized frame which approaches the textural design of the Alpha buildings. The molded lunar surface on this model is extremely detailed with craters, cracks, hills and volcanic rock, and closely matches the style that was seen on the original FX miniature when compared to the old vac-formed Fundimensions/ERTL kit, and is bigger. The model is molded in off-white, urethane resin and can be painted with enamels, acrylics, or lacquers, and comes complete with laser-printed high quality self-stick decals for the "Alpha Moonbase" crest and realistically weathered launch pads. The only part required for assembly of Alpha Moonbase is the Main Mission building, in the centre, which is molded separately and can be fastened with superglue. The bulk of the model is cast in one piece from urethane plastic - no awkward joints to fill. Now you can finally have that model of Alpha you always wanted the old MPC kit to be! This model of Alpha uses the buildings from the vintage Fundimensions kit, but measures eighteen inches square, and improvements have been made with a more accurate layout including the full compliment of five reworked launch pads and more accurate travel tube locations not available with the standard kit.
