Post Dated

Well 2011 is nearly over and we've had another fabulous year on Planet SWORD. Blog readers have done us proud with utterly fab contributions. Co-blogger Wote has also excelled with some truly great posts.

As it's about the top of the year it's apt to reflect on our favourite posts. My own, one of Wote's, was his look at the 007 Moon Buggy. The Ken Adams concept, looking like the Spacex MEV, was a revelation!

for fun, the most popular over the last 3 years are listed in the left hand side-bar about half way down [created as part of the blogger stats package].

What has been your favourite this year or over the last few?

So hard to choose. I think in general it's been seeing box artwork ... and there were a lot of those. But the posting which sticks most in my mind was the one of Andy's Dan dare models. Would so like to own one of those.
