Ed's Red Alert!

Woodsy,

An urgent communiqué has been received warning of an incoming alien fleet.

 Our outpost has been placed on alert and our fighter's scrambled. Missile defense vehicles have been posted on the perimeter and Space Marines deployed to defensive positions.

HG Toys spaceships flying over MPC 60mm ringhand space troops and mobile missile launcher.

Ad is a scan of an original comic book ad from the 1960s. Now, that is a scene I'd love to recreate!

Ed's Alien World Diorama Base

Woodsy,

My red diorama base was built back in 2012 and made from a 29.5" x 11.5" piece of shelving (cut to fit within a shelf unit in The Cave), Styrofoam sheets for the rockwork, carved then covered with lightweight patching plaster, and lastly painted. 

I didn't want a gray Moonscape look for this one, but rather a red Martian-esque look. The photos show an additional rock outcropping which is actually a separate piece and removable, depending on whether I want to use it for a shoot. 

The background picture I painted myself - also in 2012 - on black foamcore. It's not made to represent Earth, just an alien world. I chose blue because it was a nice bright color that stood out from the black backing.

Inspired by Scoop's post:

Here's a few ads and images for Star Trek that have come my way in Meta feeds.

Ed's Wheels On The Bus Go 'Round and 'Round

Woodsy,

Here's some more small space toy fun. 

This time it's the 'LP' brand #405B Space Explorer Car in bright yellow ala 'Bluebird' (a manufacturer of school buses here in the States).

Starry Starry Night

Woodsy,

This time I've included two snaps - the original photo without stars, and bottom one with stars added. 

Does the addition of stars to the background add or detract from the image?

Ed's Azrak-Hamway #6371 Star Trek Phaser Water Pistol

Woodsy,

Here's a little sumthin' I picked up recently that you might like. Normally, I don't collect Star Trek stuff, but I got this for a reasonable price so what the heck!

Anyone else got an Ahi Phaser like this?

Ed's Moon Crawlers

Woodsy,

Here's Moon crawlers - or whatever name people want to attach to them. The red TAT crawler's wheel has been fixed but I haven't updated the photos.
