THE LARRY EVANS COLLECTION
The Spaceship Mockup, Miniature and Renderings
 

The following material has been very kindly donated to this site by Larry.  If you enjoy seeing these images, be sure to drop him a note of thanks at his E-mail.

The Spaceship at Lake Powell:
This is the ship as seen on location at Lake Powell and the images are the result of scanning 35mm proof sheets.  Just as on the Stills page, these images are not crystal clear and for the same reasons.

Screen Captured Scenes:
These are a few screen captured images direct from tapes of the movies.

The 1/16 Scale Filming Miniature:
The original miniature is currently owned by POTA Art Director William Creber and a copy of it hangs in the Planet Hollywood club in Orlando Florida.  These are a few shots of the model as seen there.  The original was "restored" at the request of William Creber by top Hollywood model maker Greg Jein so the paint scheme is no longer original.   Supposedly it had been displayed by Mr. Creber in a pond at his home and had deteriorated from exposure to the elements.  These are shots of the copy.

The Original Rocket Rendering and Others:
This is Taylor's craft as envisioned very early on in the design process.  It is basically a variation on the booster designed by Wernher Von Braun in the 1950s and was probably dropped for not being visually interesting.  Also included are renderings of the Statue of Liberty scenes, the astronauts exploring the "new world" and other proposed scenes.
