Kevin D's brilliant re-imaginings of the SWORD Manual pictures posted yesterday were just so cool. There've been a number of different projects by readers over the years to capture the spirit of SWORD by modern means. These have included Mike's Christmas e-cards, Graeme's Tarheel PF3 Specification Sheet, Wote's technical sheets, colour Moon Base and most recently Wote's fantastic Top Trump cards.
For my own part I had a dabble at a small sized TESCO softback photo book back in 2007 [even before the blog!] Small in scale, just 14 pages and the covers, it was nevertheless a bit fiddley, especially adding text to the photo's, but it was a lot of fun, especially when two copies landed on the mat hot off the press. I have one, Wote has the other. Amazingly I signed into my old account this morning, five years later, and all my database of photo's was still there! Representing my collection at the time and not particularly imaginative photo-wise, you can have a gander here should you wish. The actual template for my 'book' has gone, which is a shame [I could have ordered another one!], but here are a few snaps of pages out of my own copy.
PS. I've just noticed my old website address on the back of this book: http://projectsword.com.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk but I think it's been deleted by Orange. Does anyine know how to retrieve expired websites?
