Moonbase Collection Headlining with Chibi Prospector and the Spinning Tops!

OK, I've mowed the lawn and deadheaded the beds [beddeadheaded?] and come in for some coffee. It's roasting like a Sunday joint today so the shirt's come off [not a pretty sight!]. The dog's been swimming with Mrs. Moonbase [she remained on land] and now stinks like a sunken galleon [the dog Blue that is!] next to me on the sofa! Whilst recuperating I thought I'd post more piccies of the Moonbase collection to date. Next up are all those leftfield items I've picked up over the years. They are SWORD/Spacex-related [some are relatives of relatives!] but just not by the Big Five - C21, Tarheel, T in Circle, Hover and Hoover [I should count Imai here really as well].
