I picked up the small Dragon Space Shuttle so as well as taking some pictures of it, I thought its crawler transporter could be pressed into service for a Spacex Nova launch.
They look superb Kev. The reflections in the water are a great touch. For some reason Captain Scarlet and SpaceX go really well together don't they! Are the two grassed areas carpet tiles?
Thanks. Yes, I'm pleased with the look. The grass is model railway grass glued onto foamboard (originally made to display model funfair rides!). The water is my garden table again.
that garden table is very handy! Its odd, just as I looked at your pictures online there was a piece in the morning News about NASA sending a rocket up to destroy an asteroid heading for Earth [I must have heard that wrong]. I suddenly thought that that would make an excellent mission for your NOVA, an asteroid breaker. But why was Captain Scarlet there? Hmmm, now that's got me thinking!
My last radio effort The Golden Astronauts was an attempt at an 'origin' story for SpaceX toys. Not sure what to write next. Got Writers' Block I reckon! Phantoms, rockets and dark hills are all swirling round my head but failing to coalesce!
