Title
"Gwent" Sentient Spacecraft Filming Miniature from Episode, "The Infernal Machine" of Space: 1999 (ITC, 1975-1977).
Description
Vintage original miniature, being the smaller of two scale models built for the episode under the guidance of Academy Award-winning special effects supervisor Nick Allder. Crafted of vacuum-formed plastic, cast resin components, repurposed plastic model parts, metal, wood, and mixed-media elements, all expertly assembled, painted, and finished in metallic blues and grays. The sentient, wedge-shaped spacecraft features an axle that threads through the back segment and rotates a series of cast resin-footed metal posts that jut out in staggered constellations from the axle ends. Measuring 15" x 9" x 6." Exhibiting age, production wear, some minor paint chipping and warping of plastic parts. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions. From the Collection of Greg Jein.
