MOONBASE DIARY

Work is drawing to a close on the Moonbase! All the biuldings are biult and just need a few decals. The crew and Lunar Roving Vehicle pictured above have arrived from Sword Base North West courtesy of Commander WOTAN. The lunar surface is complete too and strangely this was one of the most enjoyable things to make. It took me back to railway days as a kid, making hills and mounds from papier mache and painting them green. This time it was grey. It's not brilliant but it'll do. The craters came out well. As you can see from the top piccy of your bespectacled host I'm pleased with the results so far, as is Jigger, our pet guinea pig, Batman as well, who popped in through the attic window and Godzilla too, who temporarily broke off from wrestling Thunderbird 2 to say hi!

Just looking at those white, yellow and silver LP astronauts, it reminded me of how a toy dealer years ago tried to sell me some as actual Project Sword Moonbase astronauts! I said, so where's the moonbase? Well, soon we'll have one!
