SPACE WAR 71

I thought this was cool on Ebay, the Space War 71 Blackbird.

Its a neat looking plastic SR-71. I wonder if Space War was a range of toys?

Anyone got one?

BLACKBIRD SR-71 CONSTRUCTION VIA SPLOID

If you like X-Planes and in particular the Blackbird SR71 then you'll love these pictures over at SPLOID of how it was made [click]!

I wonder if it needed that many folk to make the SpaceX/ Golden Astronaut version! The scratchbiuld R2 just needed one! Kevin!

THE GUARDIAN OF THE GALAXY

To celebrate Woodsy's sudden interest in the Space Patrol I or as it was originally named, Guardian, in The Dalek Chronicles drawn by Ron Turner, here's a few photos of the great looking Spacex toy .

First up, my take on the original photo of what was presumably a pre production toy seen on the back of UK bubble packs.

Looking a little different in yellow with Space Police Patrol 1 on the hull.

Looking a little more familiar in its UK bubble pack.

Renamed as Space Command Ship for it's entry into the U.S. Golden Astronaut range.

The Superset 1 containing all the smaller models from the first Spacex range.
