I was fortunate enough to visit Moon’s model workshop and it was like walking into the pictures I used to pore over in publications such as Starlog and Starburst. Some rather impressive models built for one of the many false-starting Red Dwarf movies were being cannibalised to provide detailing for Moon’s lunar mining facility. Bill Pearson, who worked on Alien, Outland, Flash Gordon and others, was winding down his Shepperton base – Moon provided a chance for one final daring mission before his talented crew was disbanded.

ANd what a damn fine production It was! The models were superb!
