What a summer! A bumper haul of vintage plastic was netted in Moonbase waters! T in a Circle, AHI, Tarheel, JR21, Century 21, Empire, Yonezawa and Hoover all in the net.
The AHI purple rockets were a gift from my good friend WOTAN. The Yonezawa Wasser Spinne was exchanged for another toy with the friendly Nico of Toys and Space .
The rest of the catch were Ebayed. The biggest investment was the Century 21 Aston Martin, which I absolutely love (the closest I'll get to owning the real thing!).
But my favourite Summer bounty remains the awesome boxed Tarheel Rescue Helicopter. More on Tarheel, T in a Circle and Empire to follow.
There is also a brand new and completely awesome discovery, a real corker, from blog reader Arto - presented to Moonbase for the bloggiversary. I couldn't beleive it! Watch this space!
lovely stuff! its like xmas come early!

ReplyDeleteIn Hobbycraft a couple of weekends ago, noticed that Airfix have re-released their 1/32 scale Aston martin DB5. Very tempting.
I wonder what a 1/32 scale James Bond would say when seeing his miniature Aston?

ReplyDeleteI don't expect you to say anything, Mr Bond; I expect you to die.
Sorry; couldn't resist that.
Or maybe - I expect it to stick everything this special bond; I expect it to dry!

Gluefinger!
