Description
Yeah, so, I decided to completely rebuild the Liberator. Again.Thankfully, this version is turning out much better, with sleeker, cleaner lines. It's just...big. You know. It weighs in at 2450m from tip to tail. And it needs a lot of details modelled. And then there'll be the texturing. Which I don't want to think about.
Also, the Pursuit Ship and the London are coming along nicely.
Blake's 7 belongs to....someone. Whoever they are, they seem to be planning to license it out to Microsoft. Does that mean Orac will be bluescreening every other episode?

I'm impressed. It looks appropriately "alien" for a ship of its origins.

Thanks! I've started fiddling with the design again so hopefully will be able to make a little progress on it this year.

The scale of the Liberator always seems to be hard to work out because it's so infrequently placed next to something to show scale, and have those things next to something with scale.
I recall reading somewhere that you can work out scale by looking at the London in The Way Back (there's a person or a something near it before it takes off) and from there you can extrapoilate scale, so once the London has the transfer tube next to the the Liberator you can work out scale.
Duel also shows some scale in relation to the Pursuit ships.
According to the Big Finish 'The Liberator Chronicles' box set I have on my desk; Blake's 7 wordmark and logo are trademarks of B7 Enterprises Ltd. Blake's 7 original television series created by Terry Nation.
I seem to recall reading that B7 Enterprises holds the licence to Blake's 7 having acquired it at some point and as SylkRode says I think Paul Darrow is part of the group that is B7 Enterprises.
Added to this, I think that the BBC owns what the Liberator looks like in the TV series along with all the other stuff of what it looks like in the TV series (as the Big Finish box set also says Blake's 7 television pictures © BBC). So much like other Doctor Who elements it's in one of those complicated places where bits and pieces are owned by their creators but actual TV realisations are of the BBC.

I do believe Paul Darrow owns the rights to Blake's 7. At least, that is what my mother tells me - and she is obsessed with the man. She actually bought a copy of "Die Another Day" because Darrow can be seen, as an extra in back of shot, carrying James Bond on a stretcher. For two seconds. And she bought the whole movie.
It's even creepier than it sounds.

Doesn't it belong to the Nation Estate? Licensing it out to Xbox seems to be the sort of batshit scheme they typically come up with to make a fast buck.
