an old TV series from the 70’s called Space Academy? I seem to recall somewhere that there was a model kit of their Seeker Spacecraft. Has anyone seen one? I wouldn’t mind someone updating that concept with a new series or kits.
Jim Small wrote an article about the Seeker for FSM in the November 2002 edition
Man, that’s climbing WAAAYYY back in the greymatter…
EDIT: Someday I’ll actually remember how to use this #*(@)!#&@ forum code
Yeah I remember. Wasn’t that a spin off of “Jason of Star Command”? Anyone remember the Ark II?
actually, Jason was the spin off. But, I’d like to see kits for that too (and Ark II)!
You know I’m a child of the 70’s but I can’t for the life of me remember that show , oh but I remember Galatica and Buck Rodgers which I know were late 70’s and early 80’s , maybe I was too busy playing with my Star Wars figures ???

Hmmmm, I dont recall that show either. I remember Space 1999, but Space Academy escapes me.

WOW…that is cool, Jon.
Didn’t FSM have an article on a scratchbuilt seeker many moons ago?
Dan
I remeber all those shows, TV-head that I was! As far as I know Jim is still selling the Seeker, you might e-mail him. Lokks like a fun build. Don’t forget to scratchbuild a tiny Peepo.
yeah there still for sale on the link ive made
the stands extra
i still think you could scratchbuild one out of a bottle
If one could find the right bottle, it would be a pretty simple scratchbuild. Or even Ark II for that matter. Are there any good ref. pics out there for that?
Anybody remember the Landmaster from Damnation Alley. I think the same company made them. I used to see the Landmaster parked on a lot in the Cahuenga pass off the Hollywood freeway, along with a few other weird “air car” type things.
I think the other car you are talking about is one of those from the Logan’s Run TV series. Here is a link to the Land Master from DA. http://users.snowcrest.net/fox/landmaster/
Woody, Im not sure if that other car in those pics was the one, but it was similar. And now that you mention it it probably was from the Logan’s Run series. I haven’t been over that way in a while so don’t know if they’re still there.
I have heard that they have modified the Logan’s Run cars to be in many films and TV shows. The car you seen may have been one of these modified vehicles or another all together.
