Fan Art

In lieu of official merchandise (so far there has only been a few lame items from New Hammer,) here is a selection of fan art which has kindly been provided by the people who made it. If you want something featured here, please let me know via the contact form. Even though some of the people here make a living from their art, I decided to group everything as “fan art” because nothing here could be considered part of the Quatermass Canon.

Robert Isaac Harker

Robert describes his work thus:

A sculpture in progress, based on the Martian from “Quatermass and the Pit” (BBC-TV, 1957). The sculpture is about 18 cm tall; the scale is about 1:5. The main material is Air Dough; the legs are reinforced with brass rod; some of the joints are filled with Milliput Superfine White epoxy.

You can see more cool images of this sculpture on Robert’s Flickr page.

Robert also put together this trailer from various sources, for an envisioned remake:

Jeff Slater

Jeff did a model of the Martian ship from the film version of Quatermass and the Pit. It is made from builders foam and clay and measures about 20x20x20 cm.

Martin did another version of the alien ship from the film version of Quatermass and the Pit, working with Perspex and polyester resin. The model is about 20 cm long and Martin says there will one day be a larger version.

Ian Marchant

This figure of the Donlevy Quatermass is about 30 cm tall. Ian used the a body from Sideshow figure (with some padding) and sculpted the head out of Super Sculpey oven bake clay. The clothes were made from old off cuts.
