Up and Under, In and Out

 Tried a new venue for us this morning, and indoor car boot sale on Featherstone junior rugby club.

I got a decent haul of interesting bits going for a song.

See anything you like?

2 house construction sets, like Lego. Age?

In Car games set. Looks like the Seventies to me.

Drawing stencils from 1974, two old dolls and a ciggy lighter top in the shape of a Greek helmet I'd say.

First day covers, Beatrix Potter, Dr.Who and James Bond.

This is my first post with a new mobile phone. Hope it works! 

I'm Exhausted!

 I'm seeing things again.

Look at the nozzle on this space toy Jet gun.

Now look at the exhaust insert on the SWORD Booster Rocket.

Similar? Waddaya think?

We could do with a shot of that whole exhaust insert, including the inner red attachment, if anyone can oblige?

My Booster's in storage.

Brainrot!

 The Missus picked up these odd figures in Summer.

We had no idea what they were until Moonbase Junior told us.

Brainrot!

From Italy.

All new to me.

You? 

Two Capitans

 With Spanish Fireball XL5, El Capitan Marte, on my mind - more on this later! - I came across this strip in Spain's vintage Captain Scarlet comic. I like the drawing style. Do you? 

And here's the colourful El Capitan Escalarta comic cover which has echoes of James Bond movie posters!

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? 

And a different cover

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!!!
