Looks like the only thing missing is an Eagle transport!

Ack! This is even worse than JIMO graphic abuse! At least swiping

but Martin Landau?

Security logs indicate that the vampire catgirls had swiped it for a "Buzz
The Base" joyride on the day that pic was taken.

Ack! It's worse than I thought. It looks like a rendering you'd find on
someone's Moonbase Alpha website. The landing pad looks like it's straight
out of the show. I should know, I own some of the video tapes and watched
several episodes not long ago. ;-)

I remember that show, Space: $1.99 - that's about what they spent on
special effects.

Even at age 13 I could not get intersted in the show because the whole
premise of blowing the moon out of earth orbit was so ridiculous.
Plus the lead actress looked like her face was shot full of novacaine.

Now Dark Star, there was a great movie.

Don't let Kibo hear you typing that!

....No, that's what they spent on the actors' salaries. That is, except
for Bain & Landau, who got paid out the wazoo for some hit-and-miss
performances. The SFX work, outside of the occasional wires not hiding
themselves, was actually quite superior for its day, and Series One's
work still manages to hold up quite well against today's CGI work.

....Who cares? I want the damned mesh for that base, because it looks
like they used Mario Whassisname's mesh that made the rounds a few
years back, but disappeared when Mario went MIA from the mesh groups.

And you admit it. You know that's the first stage of recovery.

At least I only own a few cheap VHS copies I got at Half Price Books. The
DVD's are still too expensive, even there. I'm still looking for a tape or
DVD with the episode Dragon's Domain on it. When I was young, that was my
favorite episode. The deep space probe was cool.
