UFO ‘Shadow Play’ and Space: 1999 ‘The Armageddon Engine’ by James Swallow
James Swallow’s new novellas, UFO: Shadow Play and Space: 1999: The Armageddon Engine, are an absolute treat for anyone who loves the detailed, high-stakes drama of the live-action Anderson canon. Swallow demonstrates how to immerse the reader in these worlds, capturing every inch of SHADO HQ and Moonbase Alpha with such vividness that they feel more real than ever before. You can practically hear the hum of the technology and feel the weight of the pressure building as both stories unfold.
Filmed In Malta: Rare 1970s Interview with Gerry Anderson
Thanks to the team at Filmed In Malta, I am delighted to share and analyse two archive newspaper reports from The Times of Malta dated 1971 and 1973, which shed some light on Gerry Anderson’s visits to Malta during the filming of both The Protectors and The Investigator. They are revealing glimpses into the shift in Gerry Anderson’s career, as well as the British film industry as a whole during the early 1970’s.
LEGO SHADO Vehicles and Alien Craft (UFO)
UFO and its wide range of gorgeous vehicles have been an inspiration to LEGO® enthusiasts for many years. In particular, there are some very detailed and impressive brick-built models of the Moonbase Interceptor and the SHADO Mobiles out there which I simply drool over because of how big and complex they are. These builds are normally produced at minifigure scale or thereabouts. But instead of following the same path as the dedicated LEGO® and UFO fans that came before me, I decided that working on the vehicles in microscale would be the best approach to bring the SHADO fleet to life on my shelves.
