Kevin's Moebius Seaview Build

Hi,

I've recently completed this Moebius kit of Seaview. Great model but stupidly big!

Dive, dive!

Hi,

Treated myself to another display cabinet, which, to be honest, I needed.

Cheers,

SPACE:1999 LOLLY ICE ADVERT

Kevin D mentioned the old Lyons Maid Space:1999 picture cards on my previous post which came with the Space:1999 lolly Ice.

There was only 25 cards in the set, so it wasn't to hard to find them all.

Each card was a  simply painted scene based on publicity photos. The card backs uses the early Space:1999 typeface. 

There was even a short advert for them on TV, which was apparently drawn by Frank Bellamy, who, for legal reasons was instructed not to include any Space: 1999 related  imagery !

Kev's Missing Nuclear Freighter

This is the specific SpaceX NFII variation that's missing from Kevin's collection.

Anyone got a spare one?

AQUACAR AT THE BEACH

 These are some photos I took during the early days of the blog, back in 2012, and have subsequently appeared several times on here since them.

I took them by the Pier on Southport beach ,  getting some very odd looks from passers by.

A toy Aquacar painted red did appear briefly in Thunderbirds, a fleeting glimpse can be seen in the episode , The Mighty Atom.

Our very own Kevin Davis did do some photos of his own red Aquacar some time back, in a suitable Thunderbirdish background.

Come on down, Kev, let's see 'em again!

By the power of email, Kevin has answered the call, and, as requested here's a trio of photos of his red Aquacar.

Kev's Scratchbuilt Stingray World Navy Sub57

Hi Woodsy

Finally took some shots of that Stingray sub that I built because you kindly let me know about that racing car prop.

Cheers,

Kevin's Star Cops Box

Another obscure scratchbuild. 

 This is my replica of Box, the personal computer of the lead character in the 1987 BBC series Star Cops.

SMALLSPACE 12 PART 3

A final look at some of the photos from last Sunday’s Smallspace event.

As I said in my first post, Andy Preston’s Refit Enterprise was the star of the show for me. His attention to detail, and his meticulous pearlescent paint job was second to none.

Andy tells me it took around 4 months on and off, to carefully complete the painting process.

Some more shots of Richard Ashton’s highly detailed scratch-built models.

A couple of photos from the Motion Picture Miniatures display, showing castings of the 27” Batwing as seen in Tim Burton’s, Batman.

A Klingon Vor’cha battle cruiser from Star Trek: The Next Generation. When completed this will be displayed at the National Film and Sc-Fi Museum at Milton Keynes.

Two 1:72 scale dioramas on display at the Cozmic Scale Modals stall. One showing a scene from ‘V’, and another showing a Battlestar Galactica Viper Hangar.

Another couple of photos showing Kevin D’s models, and a photo of Kevin and Myself by his display (photo taken by Mike Tucker)

A few candid shots of some of the other friends I meet up with.

Prolific modeller David Sisson and his partner, Alison Thorne always put on a great model display. This year was no exception.

Space:1999 expert and collector , Simon Rhodes, who displayed some of his original Mike Noble ‘Star Fleet’ artwork, seen here sat with trader, transport manager, and all round good guy, Tony Freeman and Alison Thorne.

In the foreground, Tony Freeman, with fellow film fan and prop collector, Simon Greetham chatting with David Sisson.

Ever wondered what’s inside a Dalek casing. Here’s all the complicated remote control gubbins inside Iain McDonald’s grey Dalek.

Finally, some photos I’ll file under miscellaneous.

A 1: 3 scale ‘Power of the Daleks’ Dalek model in it’s own excellent diorama.

A resin model rocket, built by Andrew Prentis, based on designs seen in the Dan Dare inspired ‘Ministry of Space’ graphic novel.

A model of a Borg in it’s alcove. Unfortunately, I don’t who made this model, but it looked great and included a green flickering lighting effect.

Coming soon: The next adventure will be at Cromford Mills Comic Con
