A Moonraker 6 shuttle model miniature from Lewis Gilbert's space spy adventure Moonraker. Constructed by a corporation headed by Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale), Moonraker 6 launched from an aeronautics complex in the Amazon, transporting James Bond (Roger Moore) to Drax's secret space station.

Various scales of Moonraker shuttles were built by Derek Meddings' model team for the film, with this being one of the smallest scale shuttles at 16". Contructured of resin, this white and orange model miniature is based on the design of a NASA Space Shuttle Orbiter. It features three clustered black space engines, a dark brown underbelly and nose cone, a "Moonraker" marking on both sides and a tail rudder with a black "6" on both sides. The interior is rigged with pipes for pluming liquid nitrogen that would simulate engine exhaust on camera. The underside of the model also features several holes where it was previously mounted during filming. Derek Meddings model work is highly sought after and scarce, and Moonraker's visual effects were highly regarded upon its release. The piece exhibits wear and some damage from use and age, including extensive cracking with some missing body components. Minor stabiliziation and paint in-fill has been applied to improve its aesthetic, and it is in overall fair condition. Dimensions: 16" x 10" x 7" (40.5 cm x 25.5 cm x 17.75 cm)

Estimate: $6,000 - 8,000
