Hi Woodsy. 

Seeing Scoop's Buck Rogers Star Fighter reminded me I had this … for those who like add- ons , it's signed by Gil Gerard and Erin Gray. 

Also a couple of 1950's annuals.

Will's Plastic Rockets

Hi Woodsy,

I've been really enjoying Arto's posts of the plastic rockets. Here's a couple of strange ones. The first one has a metal tab , I think to mount it on a bike handle. The second is a whistle.

Will's Prop Phaser

Hi Paul. Loving all the Star Trek posts. Here's some pics of my prop phaser. 

Bought from a film prop shop in Massachusetts in the 1980's, it's supposed to be an unused prop from the series , but I think it's more likely to be an early fan model . 

It's cast in clear resin and has a couple of cracks, one on the handle and one on the tail. It does have age to it and looks good. 

Is it an original? I'll probably never know. Beam me up!

Space Models of Feltham 2: Will's Skydiver

Hi Woodsy.

What do you make of this? 

My Skydiver model, about 19" long . Made of resin I think, on a wooden base, which has an intriguing label on the bottom! 

I suspect it is just a skydiver model that someone has stuck a Space Models of Feltham sticker on. Or?

 I've had it for nearly 30 years, bought off a Scalex dealer from North London for about 50 quid if I remember. 

Wouldn't it be nice if it was really one made by space models.

 I doubt it but who knows! Do you?

WILL'S TOY TELEPHONES

The common Johnny Seven phone set, but the nicer box art.

The Jostar / Cowan de Groot Disney phone set … made in Yugoslavia .

and finally, the clever Mattel-O-Phone (geddit?) where you can talk to your imaginary friends via the records supplied. Could never get it to work properly though!

Will's Rovex Model Electric Train

Hi Woodsy, 

I bought this original Rovex train set the other day.

 It's long been known that the original cellulose acetate used was prone to distortion, but I'd never seen one as wonderfully bad as this one! 

You?

Hi Woodsy. 

My restoration of the Kitmaster Fireball XL5 is nearly complete.

 Any suggestions would be welcome.

WILL'S CHOCK O BLOCK WRAPPER 2

Hi Woodsy

Re. yesterday's mystery Chock O Block wrapper post, Reader Lewis thinks that the gold wrapper may be from the back of the McVities captain scarlet chocolate bar set , and I think he may be right , as these wrappers came to me at the same time. 

Do other Moonbasers concur?

The Cecil Coleman Supercar is now as close to the original as I can get. 

The Airfix Fireball XL5 is stripped and disassembled as much as I can. Hoping to build it back up with a better paint job. 

Fingers crossed.
