Skydiver composite

Hello, guys!
One of my all time favorite Meddings designs is that of Skydiver. Because the FX models varied in markings and some details, I created this composite, choosing details from both models. My drawing is based from Jonathan E's terrific color schematic. My sources for research was Capt. Sci-Fi's reference photos of Skydiver and photos posted on UFOseries.com. Enjoy.

Someone asked for a higher res profile. Here it is. Sorry, its due to file size upload limitations.

Super looking images love the profile shot

 

[Sky1Driver]

Thank you. I cannot take full credit. Jonathan created the original schematic, I just continued on from there. Here is the starboard profile.

 

[Jonathan E]

Love all the extra detailing and I don't know how I missed the silver grey panels behind Sky 1's cannon. I will be revising my drawings to include your contributions. Many thanks and well done.

Because the original models have so much detail, I realized that I missed a lot of them. I am posting the updated profiles only. Jonathan E, you don't have an easy hobby.

 

[Jonathan E]

I don;t think any of us who admire Gerry Anderson's work have an easy hobby. But then again doing something worthwhile should not be too easy.
The guys at APF and Century 21 certainly set the bar high, i struggle in two dimensions. I don't know how the guys who build the wonderful replicas do it. :thumbup:

 

[Sky1Driver]

Yep, my mistake in looking at more photos of the filming miniatures. I had to make more corrections. Here are some samples. Enjoy!

 

[Sky1Driver]

Had to update the drawings. Corrected some errors and omissions. Finally done with it!

 

[Sky1Driver]

Corrected and added more fine details. Sorry for the low resolution. Had to keep it within file size limits. All based on Jonathan E's original.

Thank you! Jonathan E did all the hard work, I just tweaked it. Anyway, I had to make more alterations. This is it (I know I said this before). I love this new forum format, can upload more detailed files. Enjoy.
