WILL'S WOOSTER

Hi Woodsy. Looking at Scoops' lovely Avengers set, I noticed that the Bentley is the same as the one in the Corgi Jeeves and Wooster set, although a different colour. 

Regards, Will O.

CHAD VALLEY PROFESSIONALS KNOCKOFF?

This sale description intrigued me - a knockoff Professionals rifle CV5. Why would Chad Valley release a knockoff or a bootleg?

Here's the box from another site.

THE ACHE OF ETERNITY TONIGHT ON CELTICA RADIO

Hi Woodsy, this might be of interest to you. This months Squaring the Circle on Celtica Radio marks the return of Andrew John to the airwaves, reading a Vampire Horror Story called the Ache of Eternity.

It'll be on air on our live service at 8PM tonight, Sunday the 21st, and thereafter as a repeat at various times and also a Listen Again/Podcast download.

The Facebook artwork is attached, and that picture is actually Andy pulling a face! You may also find one of the fonts familiar - [earthman] - however, other than the font and Andy doing a decent impersonation of Colonel White for you guys, there is no connection with Captain Scarlet.

But it is a good romp!

BATMAN AND THE BOOT SALE

 Made it to a winter car boot sale this morning. Yay! Just what Doctor Die-Cast ordered as I was getting withdrawal symptoms!

Today's catch - minus the Batmobile from last time - was a 1979 Hot Wheels Peterbilt truck, a Superfast cab and trailer, a Corgi GT 70, a Rolamatics tank and a Speed King Shovel Nose.

Back home I'd promised myself some me time to mess with my second battered batmobile you can see above.

This one gave up its dash and steering wheel when I tipped it up!

I painted the dash silver and made a scratch missile launcher out of a straw and a biro tube.

I then had fun scratching together a red plastic flame for the rear exhaust using bits of a plastic tie fastener.

I'm waiting for the model paint to arrive in the post before attempting the body. It'll be a brave new look for Bats I hope!

Zap! Kapow!
