The model work and all special effects on Space: 1999 were done by Brian Johnson, who did the same series of moon shot effects in 2001: A Space Odessy, and is largely the source between the comparisons drawn between :1999 and 2001: because Brian built both moonbases and space craft models and filmed them “Gerry Anderson stye”. I consider Brian Johnson the creator of the best practical special effects of spacecraft and setting in movie and television history. Many think Douglas Trumbull did those scenes because he is credited foremost for SFX on 2001.
