SHADO Mobile – UFO Series – Studio2models – 1:16 : build review

By Mamas Pitsillis

A word from Geoff…

Wow! A SHADO mobile from the British cult TV series UFO with all the lights and RC running gear…what’s not to like? And I think this is still being kitted in resin by Mamas P at Studio2models

Check out these YouTube videos!

If you like this, how about a fully working Skydiver 1 with Sky 1 that powers through the water? It’s big, beautifully done and another stunner from Mamas! Or, maybe Stingray? Keep an eye on your SMN Sci-Fi area to follow these builds coming in the not too distant future.

So, what follows is a photo record of Mamas’s build of his SHADO Mobile with some notes along the way to explain what he did. Sure, this isn’t going to make its way onto everyone’s shelves but from a modelling point of view it’s great to see his use of the different materials and also get some hints along the way when using resin and a bunch of other stuff to complete the project. Some great You Tube videos too and I’ll add some links at the end just to whet your appetite.

This is the story…
