This is the first of an occasional series in which we will show models of the various spacecraft that appear in the Jeff Hawke strip. below are three photographs of the Aristarchus, the ship that Hawke flew to the Jupiter system in “Overlord”. More details about the Aristarchus and what inspired Sydney’s design can be found in an article posted her in July 2015. Skipper Prossit
A stunning piece of work from Chris Tubb. One of the finest professional model maker I’ve ever come across. It makes Sydney’s creation in OVERLORD a reality.
WOW!
The aristarchus in 3D!
Chris has faithfully reproduced a striking model of one of hawke’s earliest space vehicles and once again underlined how the thinking of the Fifties influenced the imagery of the strip, in this case the kind of giant craft envisaged by Werner von Braun the creator of the infamous V2 of World War 2’s last month.
Thank you Chris, Sydney Jordan and Jan Hawkins.
