MOONBASE DIARY






Ever since getting back from the Boot sales this morning, it's been chuckin' it down! So, in between buying my mate's son's toy collection off him and playing with Blue the Doggy (bottom pic - looking sad!) I have made some progress on the Moonbase model in my rather cramped but snug attic den! - pic 5. That old Liberty chair is so comfy you wouldn't believe! And with my stereo record player still in action I've been modelling to the sweet riffs of Wishbone Ash and Rory Gallagher!
So, I've tested the battery-powered lights on the Housing and Light Modules - top 3 pics; more or less finished the Garage Module, complete with crane and ramp (looks quite good!) and the base unit of the Light Module, looking like a square cake with 4 legs at the mo! - pic 4.
As predicted the LEM has proven the most difficult. I couldn't find a Panettone box anywhere - think it must be a Xmas thing - so I've opted for a stack of 3 small boxes to create the effect. Not finished yet so the jury's still out!

Need to decide whether any extra livery or decals are required over and above the SWORD logo?
