Meeting of Minds

 Well its been a busy day atMars Base as Zero X dropped off Commander Woods yesterday for his annual check on systems at Cydonia Station. An added surprise was a brief layover by Commander Burrows as he took time for a brief refuelling stop before leaving orbit for Earth base and a return to Glenn Field. It was a great opportunity to bring some of the artefacts out of the Wotan Archive and generally discuss recent goings on between the three of us. Next day Cmdr Woods took time out to examine the archive in person, marvelling at Wotans utter lack of curatorial skills and at the breadth of the collection! During the inspection, I came across the partly completed Imai Zero X kit, the small six inch version.

 After Cm Woods had picked up the Ferry for the next leg of his mission, I took a moment to finish spray painting the model with the remains of a can of metallic blue car paint. When I had originally bought the kit I had been apalled at the crudity of the design of the kit and consigned it to the back of the archive, but after the arrival of the Bandai OX toy as an xmas gift from Terry, I was taken aback by the similarity of the design to the toy. The Bandai toy has a simplicity that one might expect from a toy, whereas the Imai kit seemed to promise a more accurate representation of the ship.

So plans are afoot for the next meeting of minds for the blog faithful and Zero X is warming up her engines once more for further forays into other reaches of the solar system..
