Hot on the heels of Andys Dan Dare models come more of his Treen ships! Splendid work again. While i was working on the article, I came across a couple of bits of Treen trivia, theres a place called 'Treen' in Cornwall, which i've been through many times on holiday and in greek mythology, 'MEKON' was a man loved by the goddess Demeter who was metamorphosed into a poppy flower.Excuse me if this is blindingly obvious tot the Dare Intelligentsia!
Tis also the name of wooden ornaments too! So I suppose that wooden DDare spaceships would be Treen Treen!
ReplyDeleteDid you make those ships Wote? cool!
Hell no - these are AnyBs! Ive got hands like feet and cant manage such superior craftsmanship!
ReplyDeleteDan Dare still influences modern culture. There's a cool cafe in Headingley called Dare with a great simple rocket design on the menus. There's also a milk company called Dan Dairies near here!
