SkyKing Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 The first sci-fi TV show I ever remember seeing was "Rocky Jones, Space Ranger," which aired in the mid-1950s and was in many ways a precursor of "Star Trek." I've long wanted a model of the hero ship from that series and have done a lot of research into the design by studying screen snaps from the show and preparing my own scale drawings. That research, as well as the Mechanical Drawing classes I took in high school and college, has paid off. See here, and note the credit in "About the Model." (The drawings shown are not mine, but are temporary placeholders; the multi-color exploded view is my interpretation.) Thanks to Allen Urey of Fantastic Plastic and Scott Lowther of Aerospace Projects Review for making this happen. http://fantastic-plastic.com/rocky-jones-orbit-jet-by-fantastic-plastic-models.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty White Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Some of the episodes of "Rocky Jones, Space Ranger" were riffed by Mystery Science Theater and were some of their best. HILARIOUS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
