Hippy-Ed Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I use to watch a PBS series called Red Dwarf & wonder if there was ever any kits of the ship? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I want to say yes. Better to ask over at Starship modeler or CultTVMan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Plastic Bonsai Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 UK diecast model company Corgi have produced small models of Red Dwarf, Starbug, Rimmer and Lister. The complete set is available for £10. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hippy-Ed Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 Thanks, I'll check it out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Chladek Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Only thing done kit-wise were two kits of the Starbug. One was done in GRP resin and white metal and the other was a slightly larger vac kit. Both were available from Comet Miniatures at one time, but they are long gone today and expensive. The Corgi minis are actually pretty good. I have a Starbug and it looks very nice (even nicely done weathering too) although it is kind of small. At one time, Product Enterprises in the UK was planning to come out with a Starbug playset which featured a fairly good sized Starbug that could be opened to reveal some of the interior areas and figures of the crew, but it appears that project has been shelved since Product Enterprises is busy doing stuff based on the Gerry Anderson shows (Supercar through Space:1999). Maybe one day they will get back to doing a Starbug, but I doubt it unless the Red Dwarf movie gets green-lighted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Miccara Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 That show had one of the most creative endings to a series I've ever seen. Brilliant! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoFo Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 There was also at least one vinyl figure kit - a 1/6 scale Kryten. TMMI had a build article of it way back when (I want to say around '95?). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
