It's the Flash Gordon show that nobody remembers and I can't really blame anybody. It wasn't that great of a show and was not aired for very long but it did get a toy line which you can find on "eBay" in package for cheap. I guess people thought this was going to be big so lots of people hoarded them to sell later.

Don't get me wrong, I had a blast working on it and made some friends, lots of memories to last the rest of my life. I never got to work on a science fiction show like this again but I had the best time, Tons of artwork was done and the client did not care how detailed we made anything, toys were made based on my designs ( for the first and only time ), the ships I designed were 3D ( with a 2D rendering ) and the best part, I was working on FLASH GORDON!

Hey Phil! Love your work on these designs - any chance of seeing more ship designs, or perhaps even sharing the 3D models used in the series?

Sorry Marko, what you see is pretty much all the designs I did on Flash Gordon, I don't have any of the 3D model because that part of production was done in France.

No problem, thanks Phil - it's great to see these here anyway, awesome designs, love the ship designs especially!
