How to Build: Wilco! Models' Prop Replicas

By Chris Banyai-Riepl

HTML-based CD-ROM

Scale Publications, 2001

If you're into classic science fiction TV and movie props, the subjects on this CD will be of great interest to you. This CD covers three props put out by Wilco! Models and walks you through the assembly and finishing of all three. The kits covered are the Laser Weapon MKI/II as seen in the Space:1999 TV series, the Moonbase Alpha Commlock as seen in Space:1999, and the Sandman Pistol as seen in the movie Logan's Run.

....

Each kit has a detailed article covering the process of cleaning, prepping, painting and finishing the Wilco! Models' resin kits and much of what is written can be applied to other resin kits out there. There is also a bit of history behind each prop as well as photos of the original props, either in use or from collections.

If you have any of these kits this CD-ROM is well worth having.
