Ed's Moonbase Diorama

Good Day Woodsy!

The diorama. I can't believe this has been sitting here since May of last year!! At the time, the base was built and basic Styrofoam landforms had all been glued to the base but then it started getting hot outside (where all the work was being done) and my intent was to give it 'a couple of weeks' to start up again.

 Well, Vegas weather got in the way of good intentions and here we are in March 2026 and I finally got around to working on it again. Two things got in my way this year: ill health, and the weather.

I should elaborate on the weather. You see, here in Vegas we don't have the traditional four seasons: Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring. Here it's like: Summer, 2-4 days of Autumn, Winter, 2-4 days of Spring. We had Spring last week Thursday, Friday, and Saturday!

Okay, so I chanced getting out the diorama base and started my first round of carving. To compare, the third image was sent to you last May. 

There's still a lot to do of course, but I think I can pull it off by doing most of the work in the early morning hours when the temps are still tolerable.

Yabadabadoo! Ed's Hot Wheels Flintmobile

 Woodsy,

I know from time-to-time Hot Wheels appear on the blog, and while I'm not a Hot Wheels collector per se, I do have a bunch in the collection. 

Since February I've re-started my Flintstones posts and to that end have recently acquired this Hot Wheels Flintmobile from 2013 still mint on card (until I got a hold of it LOL). 

At only 2" long, it is diminutive but I do have some Mexican cereal premium Flintstones figures which might go well with this.

Did you, do you like the Flintstones? 

Academy King Moguras

Hi Woodsy,

I first saw this on Ebay, and then via research, elsewhere on the web. At the End of February, Acadamy models in South Korea did a reissue release of the King Moguras Space Tank from earlier decades. 

The model kit is motorized and comes with led lighting.

I also derived from exploring Instagram, YouTube, and other internet posts and blogs (translated from Korean). Acadamy's kits of even older Japan design space vehicle models (Beetle and Vanguard) are planned for reissue as well in the coming year. I'm excited!

I do not know how many of these kits will be directed to shops in Europe or the states, or if this is a "Korea only" type of release. I'm buying mine through a seller in S. Korea. When contacted, The US distributor knew nothing of the release.

Regards,

ARROW

I'm watching Arrow, an oldish stream series from around 2014.

It's a challenge. There are 170+ episodes!

I've watched about 30!

Arrow is short for Green Arrow, the DC version of Hawkeye. As a big DC fan I like their heroes' origin stories and Arrow is giving me more detail than I can shake a fletch at.

For some reason I've always been drawn to archers. Robin Hood, the Black Arrow, Hawkeye and so on.

The are some interesting characters who are famous in their own right in the show too.

 The Flash makes a brief appearance from Central City in his non-flashy form, Barry Allen.  He probably re-appears again later, but he does start his own mega TV series around this time too, another 180 episoder!

Ra's Al Gul sends various assassins to Star City including Oliver Queen's/ Green Arrow's love interest (at least for now), one Black Canary. 

The Suicide Squad pop up too at the behest of Amanda Waller, who has also been tracking the new super-villainbin town, Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke, an evil super-soldier in the vein of Marvel's Cap, only, well, evil.

I've so many episodes to go it's untrue. I'm staggered they can make these mammoth TV serials pay. Watching 2 episodes per night it's going to take me about 75 nights! 

Blimey! 

Now where's my quiver! 

Anyone else seen/ seeing the Arrow?
