Its always good to get away for a few days. We've been to Skipton. Yep, to recharge the ol' battery packs.
Its always fun to spot vintage stuff and old friends whilst travelling. The geek travels in me.

So I had to laugh. In our Bed and Breakfast room was this radiator dial. I immediately thought ....
stormtrooper! ha ha.
Have you seen any household items which remind you of films, sci fi or toys?

In Skipton I also saw an old pal in the window of an Aquatics shop.
The Jewel Box Collection skeleton pirate by fish tank toy maestro's Penn Plax.
I've loved Penn Plax ever since I discovered that they released an aerating Creature from the Black Lagoon, one of the most iconic monster collectables ever.
I could easily collect Penn Plax skeletons. In fact all pirate skeletons really. Part of such a collection would have to be MPC's Pirates of the Caribbean - like their brilliant Dead Man's Raft.
Not wanting to spend a King's ransom on an original kit reader Jeff Saucerman has kindly let me know that for a few dabloons you could bag the Lindberg re-issue in their Jolly Roger line, Hex Marks the Spot!
Anyone collect skeleton kits and toys?
