The Deltan battlecruiser from The Last Enemy with a tank from The Infernal Machine. The battlecruiser was built by Martin Bower many years before Space: 1999. He altered it for its first appearance in Alpha Child; it was also seen in War Games.

Another of the three tanks, built by Martin Bower for The Infernal Machine.

The third tank, alongside the probeship from The Dorcons.

This is the third 44 inch Eagle model, with the booster pod seen in The Metamorph, All That Glisters and Immunity Syndrome.

The Swift from Brian The Brain. The model was designed by Ron Burton for Into Infinity, the series pilot made between the two series of Space: 1999. It was built by Martin Bower.

The Sidon ship from Voyager's Return. Only one model was made, although three appear on screen: the model was simply photographed three times. Alongside is the Psychon ship from The Metamorph.

Another detail of the Space Warp ship.

Detail of a building from the SS Daria, from Mission Of The Darians. The same building also appeared on the space station Delta in Into Infinity and in some shots of Moonbase Alpha.

The nuclear waste depot building from Breakaway, with Martin Bower's prototype of Starcruiser, a series proposal that Gerry Anderson was developing after Space: 1999. The Eagle is an Airfix model, not used in the series!

The Altares from Into Infinity, a pilot show made between the two series of Space: 1999. Martin Bower designed and built the model thinking it was for Space: 1999. Note that the antenna on top is a small Moonbase Alpha gravity tower.

The U.N. shuttle from Into Infinity. The tail configuration is an obvious tribute to Gerry Anderson's series Thunderbirds.

Moonbase models by Martin Bower, for the Alien Attack commercial made by Gerry Anderson. The commercial was shown in UK cinemas in 1977, preceding a new science fiction film called Star Wars. More info.
