Not only Bowie is in spaaaaaace.

When ELO's Jeff Lynne needs to get away from the bustle of life, he just gets into his little space plane and takes off. He flies up and up and up and up until the Earth is just a little blue marble below his windows. And there is his goal: The juke-box coloured, still partially unfinished but ever so pleasing spaceship that appeared Out Of The Blue, one Rainy Day. After docking, Jeff gets off the plane and enjoys a couple of nice and quiet days before he returns to embark on new musical adventures.







Scale? Your guess is as good as mine. I'd say somewhere in the 1/1500 region. The paper model is created by Gary Pilsworth, I tweaked it a little and built it in a day or three. I printed it on very thick matte photo paper and that caused it to be a little crude here and there. I won't try that again in this scale. But the colours are very vivid. I added a couple of layers of clear gloss to get the juke box effect on the red and yellow parts.
There is not much else to add to the thread. I am a little pre-occupied with other less fun things on my mind, I am afraid. Anyway I hope you enjoy the pictures. (-:

 

that is brilliant   
thank you.

Magic stuff, I can HEAR that model too.

That's fantastic 

Very cool ! Great job on that tiny little ship !

The spaceplane design is neat. Is it from ELO or somewhere else?

it's from the Out of the Blue album cover:

Doesn't it occur on a few of their other albums too, but much smaller?

Some of the live albums I think..  I enjoy some of ELO's stuff but I was never heavily into them.

So it is. And I've got a copy too. 

Wow! 

   I remember listening to that album a few times in younger years.
Nice modelling.

Cool!
