I absolutely love the HMS Camden Lock! It must be one of my favourite ships, certainly from any British Sci-Fi. Right up there with Starbug for me!

I love the 'Gerry Anderson-esque' of British sci fi design and thought that the 'Lock' with it's familiar BT tower shape and references to the Blakes Seven's Liberator was right up there with the design classics. I'm currently re-creating the ship in Google Sketchup. It's basic so far -

I was wondering if you had any ortho's of the ship? I've bought the 'Hyperdrive' DVD and am using screen-grabs of the ortho pictures in Captain Henderson's office for reference. (BTW do you know what happened to those prints? And that nifty model that graced his desk?) I was going to try and buy a replica of the 'Spinning Betty' chair until I realised that it was based upon a chair called a 'Grand Repos'...which costs about 2 grand! Hmm..perhaps in another lifetime... Anyways I digress... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

CS

I'll dig out some ortho's I did at the time, I think they're on my old drive !!! Not sure what happened to any of the onset stuff, props/costumes etc... Glad you liked the show and the ship !!

More please?

Here is one of my all time favourite spaceships, the UFO from the series. A few behind the scenes shots from the movie test flight of my first motorised replica.

A rare find, footage from the original Pilot episode of Hyperdrive featuring a HMS Camden Lock in two shots, not sure who built this version for the pilot episode, but I do remember seeing those sets in a corner when we went down to see the actual sets used in the show being built in Manchester for series 1.

Rear engines have warp engine parts on them.
