U.F.O. VIEW-MASTER

 The U.F.O. View-Master set that featured scenes from the episode, 'Close Up'. 

Back in 1970 or so, I still remember picking this up from my local Woolworths, getting it home and popping in my viewer to look at the images. I was particularly impressed with the tracking station model shot (used previously in The Secret Service episode, Hole in One). In fact most of the images are pretty good, although, sadly no shots of Skydiver which does appear at the beginning of the episode.

There's photos of Commander Straker, Paul Foster and Gay Ellis, along with some nice 3-D Lunar Shuttle and Interceptor model shots.

Obviously, the image quality leaves a little to be desired, but still a nice item of vintage  U.F.O. merchandise.

hi woodsy, 20,000 leagues under the Sea was one of my childhood favorites and this submarine I tried so hard to construct from lego, it wasn't quite the same, but this R/C model really evokes those feelings of wonder from childhood,

SPACE: 1999 VIEW-MASTER

 Here's a look at the Space: 1999 View- Master set, with photos taken from the 'War Games' episode, but called 'The Power of Fear' on the View-Master set.

The sharpness of the photos when enlarged leave a little to be desired, but it's still another nice item of Space:1999 merchandise.

Blog friend and fellow collector, Arto Haarala from Finland also sent me a photo of some of the different covers he owns, a couple of which I'd not seen before, so thanks to Arto for that.

Here's the rest of the 21 photos. Sadly, no 3-D for you, but, hopefully nice to see nonetheless.

AIRFIX HEADERS

Hello Woodsy,

In Spring you posted the find of vintage Airfix Cars assembled. Here are the Bag Headers with exploded views.

I still have some of the headers from kits I made in the 50's & 60's.
