The spaceship graveyard from Dragon's Domain contained a number of ships that had been seen before, plus a few that were specially built by Martin Bower. Ships 1 and 3 are also seen in the Psychon spaceship graveyard in The Metamorph.

"Graveyard ship 1" is a green spaceship that incorporates major structural elements from 1/32 scale Apollo Command Module (the heat shield and aft bulkhead), 1/144 Saturn V second stage, 1/110 Mercury-Atlas and 1/24 Gemini descent capsule plastic model kits.
"Graveyard ship 2" is another realistic design incorporating parts from spacecraft plastic model kits. Like the Interplanetary Space Station, the main body comprises 1/144 scale Saturn V second and third stages and Saturn IB kits plus EMA tubing. Detailing (mainly around the middle fuel pod area) was sparse as the model is never seen in closeup shots. The whole model was threaded on a metal rod for support. More below...
"Graveyard ship 3" consists of a spherical front section (probably a 1/24 scale Revell "Vostok" space capsule, mated to a 1/32 Apollo Command Module bulkhead). The conical aft propulsion section was probably taken from the Monogram 1/32 scale Apollo Command Module. The four cylindrical "booster" propellant tanks visible in the foreground are 1/144 Saturn V third stages, covered by 1/144 Vostok rocket pods. All three graveyard ships may thus in fact been terrestrial, possibly from early top secret deep space missions unknown to Cellini or Koenig...
