THE BULLET AIRSHIP

Futuristic airships are on my mind at the mo.

Googling I found this from 2010, the fabulous Bullett.

Like a huge space maggot, Bullet was the biggest inflatable vehicle in the world. Unsure if it still is but it looks incredible.

You can read more here. What do you think?

DESPERATELY THIRSTY

I remembered to take photos of my favourite mug. 

I love this mug because it holds about more tea than any other.

Desperate Dan from Woolworths about 1980.

This snap from my attic in 2009 caught Godzilla up to no good.

JOUSTRA BISON ELECTRIQUE

I came across this piccy the other day and thought, hmmm, that's not half bad as a space toy.

Its the Bison by Joustra.

I've no date for this but it looks 1980's to me. Anyone know any more?

Thanks to reader Lance we know quite a bit more about this French toy now. Here's a piccy I borrowed from Ebay.

BOB AUCUTT'S MOONSUIT MODEL

Hey Woodsy,

Happy New Year! Working on 1:6 scifi subjects to sell on my new website still in development. 

This one is "moon" related. And every kid that had a Major Matt Mason will recognize it. Its the 1962 Moonsuit featured in Life Magazine. 

The pictures are of the raw 1:6 scale, 3d printed suit. 

I am developing an astronaut figure and support stand to go with it. It will also be painted, decaled, and will have running and beacon lights. 

I included a pic of the patch the astros will have on their jumpsuits as this predated Apollo. 

More to come as I am doing numerous SciFi Spacemen snd villians from Serials and films of the 1950s.

Last picture has another raw unfinished vehicle (Space taxi) with a spaceman in it. While the spaceman is not in the correct Space suit (still finishing the correct one up) used in the film. What film was the Space Taxi seen in??

Space Sled was from "Conquest of Space".

Pics attached. Spacesuit from that film is in build.

Hollywood SciFi collector Bob Burns has been helping me with reference material from these old films - see pic below.

Take care,
