TERRA SCIENCE FICTION

I love old sci fi pulp covers. These old German ones are great. TERRA - Piraten in Weltraum. 

There's lots of toy things I think of when I look at these covers. What do you see readers?

MOONSHOT 2

 A couple more photos of our celestial neighbour, showing it early this morning. 

What with the unpredictable weather, here in the UK , you have to seize the moment if you want to capture a photographic reminder of an astronomical spectacle. 

I was really taken with the orange glow of the Sun reflecting off  this morning's Moon. I grabbed my camera to take a snap, but the clouds were gathering, and within moments  covered the orange orb.

Once the clouds had cleared, I took a couple more shots before the Moon sank below the trees. I thought these looked quite surreal, with the Moon focused behind the trees.

ROSKO'S MONSTER

 

I love this box art for the Rosko Frankenstein Monster.

I had the Nomura Mod Monster as a kid.

The monster here reminds me of the old Frankenstein in the original Edison monster from his 1910 shirt film.

Did you or have you got a battery-operated Frankenstein?

MOONSHOT

 As it was a clear  frosty night yesterday evening, I took  the opportunity to take a photo of the full Moon.

I took another  wider shot  showing  Mars, which, although only looking like a star, is clearly visible to the naked eye at the moment, as it's directly opposite the Sun, known as an opposition.

Movie and TV Cars at Dezerland

Hi

Max from Max's Models was recently a judge at a model show, held at a place in Florida called Dezerland. This is a museum and entertainment complex built in an old shopping mall. 

This video from Max looks at the exhibits, including plenty of James Bond cars, props, models and toys; Batmobiles (including a Messerschmitt bubble car), and a ton of other movie and TV cars. Wow, what a great place.
