Description
This is from the halcyon days when Britain was part of the space race. Imagined in 1958 (by Ward), shown in Eagle Annual No 8, the original caption was:
"Long after the first explorers have landed in simple rockets, true space ships like these may be used to set up the first Moon base."
If only such dreams had been made real.

Had to check your gallery to see if you had anyother spaceship models. Anyway the modeling is quite impressive. Of course this thing is gargantuan so I hope this is a low gravity planet. I like your modeling.

The Space Program that could have been. We would have been on Mars by 1987. Such is the stuff of failed dreams. You captured the feel of the time.
