New MPC Space 1999 StunGun and Commlock kit

[mach7]

This came out last year from MPC.

I'm always excited to see 1:1 scale props so I jumped on it.





It's a fairly simple kit, but well thought out. No lighting kit is available but it was designed to be lighting friendly.




Along with decals are commlock screen images printed on the box. A low tech option that works well.




The kit has parts to make one of 3 stunGuns, early 1st season with no "Kill/Stun" switch on the top, late 1st season with the "Kill/Stun" switch and 2nd season "Kill/Stun" switch.






I decided to make a version from the pilot "Breakaway" dropped by security. 




This required removing 2 of the colored rectangles on the handle.

I ordered some aftermarket metal parts.



But I decided to save them for a latter build.

I filled 2 of the rectangle holes with easy sculpt.





Tamiya Aluminum paint on the stungun and light ghost grey on the commlock.







And decals.











The back side of the commlock and the handle of the stungun snap in
if lighting is installed.

This is crazy! Who'da thunk there would be "aftermarket" parts for such kits, amazing. Those parts certainly add to the realism, impressive, Mach!

I'm right there with what Steve said!!! Frickin' WOW!!! And I doooo mean me some WOW!!!! Very cool subject and very well done. I didn't even know there were kits out there like that.

Thanks!

I do love 1:1 props.

I have an extensive Star Trek collection and a few from The Invaders.

As for the aftermarket stuff, there is a lot out there for science fiction. The metal is from a guy in Canada who also produces excellent aluminum rocket bells for for the eagle.

WOW... That is awesome! Never new these kits existed.

Looks like yer a space guy; that's a great collection you've got going there. I've always wanted to do the Hunter-Gratzner from Pitch Black but no one seems to mold a kit of it

[Tobi]

Now THAT is cool!
