Genuine. Authentic. Quality.

Flash Gordon (1979)

Flash Gordon's giant sets

Andrew designed and built the vacuum formed silver backdrops that provided easy coverage for Flash Gordon's large sets.

Thousands of Hawkmen characters of different sizes for filming perspective were constructed, along with spaceship models and a scorpion type monster.
