Canadian SWORD 2

Earlier this year we featured reader and contributor Darth's fab space toy display at the the Canadian Air and Space Museum in Toronto, Canada. Well you can't keep a good SWORD collection down and here's a few more shots of the display case by Randy McDonald, who visited the museum in April. Randy has kindly given me permission to post his photographs and you can see more from Randy on his blog.

Here's the full display case, where you can see a Spacex Moon Base, SWORD vehicles and a flotilla of Major Matt Mason toys including the wonderful Space Station with it's silver beacon light atop [feels like yesterday when I was switching my own on in the late Sixties!]. I like the combination of the wooden Dyna Soar model stand next to the plastic SWORD version on the top shelf. And look at the size of the PAYA Lunar Jeep [bottom centre] - it's bigger than the Moon Prospector or even the Space Glider! God knows how big the PAYA Lunar Climber must be? If any reader is lucky enough to own one please consider sending in a shot of it like this next to a SWORD vehicle!

 In this shot it looks like the Booster Rocket box is wrapped in cellophane! Maybe Darth can confirm?

Finally, a close-up of the Dyna Soars: wooden model, Mike Mars novel and our plastic friend
