Love the base, but that's not the face.

Wasn't Arcade based on someone?  Malcolm McDowell?

Malcolm McDowell in a generic sort of way, yes. In those days we didn't do likenesses without permission! (Well, most of us didn't, anyway!}

A magazine series focusing on British model builder Martin Bower...

Never heard of "Starguard" before, but very Fireball-XL5-ish indeed! (EDIT - But only from that angle in the above picture... The other photos in the link below show it as a completely different craft)

http://www.hlj.com/product/SFF0001 

28 pages for $20+ shipping... I'm sure these are available from the UK for lower prices...
