The Secret's Out

I spotted this eBay set a while back.

We've seen the secret missile unit before. Not sure we've had this double box here.

Not Blue Box, this is by LMR.

Do you know it?

Dinosaurs and Razorbacks

I'm always looking for old Videos and here's two I spotted.

Planet of the Dinosaurs. V2000 format. It's not a film I know at all but I like the cover art. It's a pretty neat spaceship zooming off.

Is it a movie you know readers?

And one for Looey, seeing as he worked on it.

Razorback!

Another film Ive not seen but it's on my list. The cover art is superb.

Have you readers?

Rob's Wyatt Earp!

Woodsy,

Here’s my latest adventure from Vintage Model Land: a 1/8th scale model of legendary U.S. Marshal Wyatt Earp.

Pyro Plastics of New Jersey first produced this iconic Western character model in 1958, patterned after Hugh O’Brian’s character in the TV series “The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp.”

Atlantis Models reissued the model in 2022. A simple kit, but not the best-fitting model I’ve ever constructed! Still, a fun “Blast from the Past!”

1:72 scale MPC EAGLE TRANSPORTER

Some photos of my 14" Round 2/MPC Eagle Transporter.

Unlike the larger 22" version, the legs aren't spring-loaded. However , MPC provide two seperate sets of leg struts - one extended for flying mode as can be seen in the photos above, and a set compressed if you chose to display the model landed.

I've fitted the kit with the MPC metal engine bells accessory set, as opposed to the supplied plastic ones.

As there's no clear plasic parts with kit, the cockpit windows and pod solar panels are waterslide decals.

A size comparision between the larger 22" version.

I must say I enjoyed building this kit, so much so I'm about to embark on MPC''s 14" 'Eagle 4' kit!

You can never have too many Eagles!!!

The Eagle is Branded

I saw this vintage boxed EAGLES Terror of the Deep Adventure set, branded Airfix, on auction and I think I love it!

That box art!

As a kid I had the Airfix Deetail toys and the wonderful Mini-Sets, but never these Eagles. Did you readers?

We're there action figures to go with them?

Hi Woodsy, here's a little thing I cooked up from a few photos and some ai trickery.

I hope you like it.

Joined at the Hip

There's something Star Warsy about this flying hip flask. I don't know if it's real or CGI. I do like the look of it with all those bits joined on.

I've never owned a hip flask. You?

Ed's YOT Thunder Bird 3

Woodsy,

I came across the tiny YOT Thunderbirds 3 a few weeks ago and thought I would pick it up.

It was quite cheap and appears to have had one too many atmosphere re-entry's, but I thought the USAF stickers on it were a blast!

I'm not familiar with YOT toys but this little thing fits in quite well with SpaceX / Golden Astronaut / LP sized toys.
