GOOD CITATIONS
Somewhat bored waiting for toy parts to arrive I've been googling SpaceX patents.
I first saw Jack Rosenthal's fabulous US Golden Astronaut patents on my friend's Paul Vreede's lovely SpaceX website, on which they're all there.

You can follow up on Google US patents too [there's more than one Jack Rosenthal here!]
https://patents.google.com/?inventor=Jack+Rosenthal
I thought it would be fun to look up the 'Other References' cited on the Cruiser 1 patent [image: Google USPO]
I couldn't find Technology Week and the 'lifting body' image.
I thought it would be interesting to compare the actual toys.

A SPACEX/ GOLDEN ASTRONAUT COLOURING BOOK?
Recalling Scoop's ace collection of colouring books last month, I was lamenting the fact that that Triang SpaceX/ Golden Astronaut never did one, a colouring book. I'd have loved it as a kid.
Thinking about it, there are quite a few SpaceX-style line drawings in other colouring books to probably create one!
The Man on the Moon colouring books contain quite a few - which Wotan Bill found - and I think there are more finds on the blog of SpaceX-style line drawings.
There's also new-fangled online trickery which allows you to convert pictures to line drawings. Here's a sketchy backing card one I did this morning.
If such a Triang SpaceX/ Golden Astronaut colouring book existed then it would need a cover.
Any ideas?
Your Concept drawings, lay-outs, mock-ups and photos and sketches welcomed readers!

GOLDEN ASTRONAUT BILLY BLASTOFF
I saw this golden Billy Blastoff on auction last year and kept the images. It could be part of the South American version, Capitan Boy.
Its a new one on me and I cant decide if the body has simply been painted white to gold by a previous owner. Maybe not/
I like this golden Billy. It sort of fits with the whole Golden Astronaut vibe too.
Looking at it again I'm wondering if its the really tiny version of Billy from South America called Mini Capitan Boy.
