Ultimate Scorpio Reference

This is everything I can find for the Scorpio model from Blakes 7. If I find more (or if anyone sends me more) I'll update this post. More reference here: http://smallspaceships.blogspot.com/2008/06/titan-finds-scorpio.html

Tantive IV & Consular-class space cruiser

Who can forget the opening shot of the original Star Wars? As an impressionable 7-year-old sat in the cinema it was like I'd been transported to another world, another time, (or a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, as someone once noted). So its no surprise that the Rebel blockade Runner, or the Tantive IV to give it its proper name, should be one of my favourite ships from the Star Wars universe. Picture from Wookipedia Picture from Wookipedia Most people know of its lengthy design history, having started life as Han Solo's Millennium Falcon before moving to Alderraan. When that design was rejected for being too reminiscent of Space: 1999's Eagle Transporter, it was adapted to become the CR90. The most obvious change was replacing its cockpit area with the distinctive "hammerhead" bridge section. Picture from Wookipedia In addition, the escape pods were relocated to the lower hull, with laser cannons being mounted where the pods had originally been placed.

Sci-fi Airshow

I will be back with more posts soon, but in the meantime have a look over at this fantastic site: http://www.scifiairshow.com/index.html Its got some brilliant CG work of classic spaceships placed in real world locations. *UPDATE* As Glazy pointed out this is NOT CG. Its glorious real-world models and props.
