Remember watching this show on Saturday mornings growing up as a little kid. ✌🏻❤️

I always loved the way that those seekers looked when I was a kid

What I use to help defuse the LEDs so they're not so defined is by using frosted plastic from plastic milk jugs. It defuses the light, the further away the LED is from the plastic, the better the defusion. What you did looks VERY good, just a tiny bit more defusion to more match the TV show. I grew up watching the show, so I'm drooling for this kit as well as the one from Jason of Star Command - if such a model exists.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing!

imo one of THE iconic tv sci -fi ships along with the shuttles/sky fighters from "V" and possibly the most iconic of all The Eagle ships from Space 1999

That's fantastic!!!

Awesome, I got this show confused with Jason from Star Command. I watched both when I was a kid.

Very cool! Haven't seen that Space Academy ship in sooooo many years! Well done!

Wow! What a blast from the past! Loved those shows back in the day. Cool model and great build!

I remember that series, it was fun to watch. Loki was on there I think, and Dr. Smith. Your kit is rare and built professional. If you build Tabors Emporium ship, id like to know where to find one. Thanks.

Cool!

wow, not only the model, but also, I never knew there was anything before Jason Of Star commend, not sure if the other shows aired in the Uk ?! great! more Sci Fi to watch :-)

Excellent, been wanting the see the build of this kit. beautiful ship!!!!!

Excellent build Oggie! Looks great!

Excellent. I always enjoy your work. 🤗

I remember watching this show in my youth. Looking at the front end of the Seeker looks a lot like the front in of the Ark II. I guess it's a 70's look for future vehicles. But in any case, this came out really nice. Well ok after watching to the end of the video I see you addressed the fact why they look so similar.

lol both shows were fun .... and the seeker model is the arc with a pair of toliet tubes tacked to the back end and a engine fairing slapped on .... not much else

OMG I remember watching this show when I was a kid. Something like Jason of Star Command and this one at the same time, or maybe a spin off? I made a seeker out of Lego's!!!

Nice job ISM, cool looking "retro" sci fi ship.👍

Excellent build Oggie!

Nice. I never watched this show or the preceding one but I watched the following one, Jason of Star Command.

Liking this even before I watch the video.

Freaking sweet! Thank you for sharing. Yeah, this brings back memories. I have yet to get the Space Academy DVD set (if I can find it), but I do have its follow up, Jason of Star Command (my favorite of the two shows).

I would like to ask director Kenneth Johnson if he took any inspiration from Space Academy Seeker's when thinking of design's for the Visitor shuttles and sky fighters in "V" because as kid of the 70's i definitely noticed it as teenager in 83 watching "V"

Pretty kool. I watched Ark II when I was a younger kid, but don't remember Space Academy. I'll have to find it.

Nice creation .... but -- if I may? Consider doing some Martin Bower-like weathering on this model. It strikes me that these showrunners on these cheapie shows made these models too damn clean, and thus, more unreal. D.A.

The front of the Seeker was the re-used front end from the Ark II. They recycled a lot of set pieces back then to help keep costs down. I have the entire series of Space Academy on DVD and always loved watching that show when I was a kid. Loved the fact that Johnathan Harris was the "Commander" on the show!

You could use a graphite pencil and those measuring tapes used for fashion designs. If you mess up on the line you could just wipe it off and start over. When you are satisfied, then you could use the scriber very slowly using the pencil line as your guild.

The nose cone is from Arc 2

Cool ship, you can add the 5mm flickering led to the 2X 3mm led by twisting the end's of the 2 X-3mm together .then add the 5mm flickering led to the end of the 3mm positive wire of the 3mm to the negetive wire of the 5mm flickering led .now you use the positive from the 5 mm flickeering led and the negitive wire from the 3mm leds , this will give you the flickering effect that you want. All you need to do is put black shrink tube over the bulb of the 5mm flickering led to light block it .I hope this helps you.

Great job on this resin Seeker kit. I too recall the J. Small model. Was Small's model made by vacuformed plastic or was it too resin? Does any know the tech specs of Small's kit version vs this Lunar Model's 8 inch, resin made kit? Seen recently someone on YT has made a vid of his "fully loaded interior / and illuminated" Seeker model. Not certain which model kit he's constructed.

Very cool! I'm always Leary of resin kits. Always afraid I'm going to drop it and shatter it. Lol.

Loved those two shows!! Got both on DVD now. Don't think I would have a spare $75 for a single model any time soon, though!

I really hope you build the Ark 2 kit.

Very nice Oggie.

We need a 1/18 scale version

Is it just me, or does the Seeker look a lot like a kit-bashed Ark II body?

Hot Damn! Brings back fond Gen X memories to my 49-year old heart! Yes the show was silly and some of the characters were rather, dare I say it, Gay! But over 40 years ago, it was an interesting show that made use of some obvious, but well designed model work. Oracode, Chris!

Your work is amazing Hey would you know if Lunar still makes a Green Slime Model?

Love it! Remember that show as a kid. When drilling the resin did you have any issues with it breaking off more than anticipated? I have a kit i would like to do some modifications to but concerned I'll break it. Maybe it's more the quality of the resin? Thanks as always!

that same ship use on v if you look at

Space academy never aired in the UK as far as I know. Is this kit made from blown styrene or is it a stronger material?

Never assembled a resin model. What would be a good resin model to practice on? Thanks Ron

Does he make one of Jason's "Starfire" from the sister show?
