It's a freezing Monday morning in the UK and as usual, after the first real snowfalls of the Winter, society is on the brink of collapse! Sounds like a job for a fleet of S.W.O.R.D Moon Rangers to me! To cheer us up here are a few snaps from my archive. I took these in 2007 for a small DIY A4 book on toys I made for myself via one of those online photoshops, where you can create your own book! Great fun! I'm sure that technology will have advanced since '07 and some really great home-made books are possible. I saw a fabulous A3 sized one at the TV21 con comprised of behind the scenes shots of Anderson's shows, created by super Oz collector and author Dennis Nicholson. It was auctioned for charity in the closing ceremony and one lucky bidder got something truly unique and a fan original.
Pictured top to bottom: C21 assortment, stack of Tarheel's boxed NOVA rockets, Imai die-cast Scramble Bug and Tri-ang Rovex Spacex LEM Apollo with guest LP astronaut.
Is that to cheer us up about the cold weather ... or about the total wussiness of this country now whenever it rains or snows? ^_^
ReplyDeleteUnless your rich beyond measure I think we all need cheering up in the UK and Ireland!
ReplyDeleteI actually quite like the snow as it makes me do things like wearing scarves and make hot chocolate, which I kinda like.
The snow looks bad in Scotland and Northumbria though. No joke up there. Probably getting to what Scandinavian readers have to endure every year!
Saying that the snow stopped me and my friends driving to York last night to see old prog rockers Barclay James Harvest. Hope they didn't play to a completely empty house!
