Can Anyone Help?

Hi,

Just found your sites, I am hunting a set of replacement decals for a Vivid toys released Thunderbird 2.

I found your site has a photo of said decals, I tried Vivid in the U.K but they have no old stock available,

Would you know what size the sheet is and wether you have a higher resolution photo of them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Woodsy adds: here are pics of the Vivid TB1. Sorry, no TB2.

Hi,

You asked where I put TB2. Here it is in one of the cabinets in my overflow display area.

Shelved!

Its Palm Sunday, one week away from the big Easter day. I remember making palm crosses at primary school in the Sixties. We took them home and put them on the mantlepiece. Did you do anything like that readers?

Drivin' Saturday

We drove to North Yorks on Sat'day. Charity shops and coffee. Here's the few morsels I netted. Great fun and cheap as chips.

And here's some tackle I didn't get.

Anything you like readers?

Send in the Clones

I recently got these two Roxy clones of Spacex toys from ebay. They are remarkably like the Spacex ones.

When I was restoring the MEV lookalike, I found to my real surprise that in my box of scrap Spacex toys, the Hawk I'd slung in there was in fact not the Spacex one after all but the ever so slightly bigger, Linda one! So, now I've got 3 clones!

Copy that,

Secret Agent Coder Tin Lunch Box 1968

I'd never seen this Secret Agent lunch box before when it was auctioned last month on the Bay. I saved the images for the blog. The effective artwork is just great, especially the dark blue rocket with the red sky background.

By King-Seeley this thermos set is dated 1968 from the very heart of the spy craze. I suppose spies had to eat lunch as well so why not a tin snap box and a thermos flask!

The combination of spies and rockets is interesting. Two storylines spring to mind, a Star Trek episode episode about espionage around the Saturn V I think and a comic story involving an agent called Gary Seven, maybe TV21. Ring any bells?

Anyways, these spies are getting far too hot around this flask so here are the pictures.

Did you have a thermos and lunch box as a kid? Got any now?
