ITS GORGO WEEK! TERRANOVA'S GORGO BRIDGE KICKS US OFF!

A few weeks ago when Tower Bridge was mentioned I looked on line and found a new model of the bridge.

It is probably a better representation but does not have the great working feature which makes Tower Bridge, Tower Bridge.

The attached pictures show it including with the Eebee/Crescent one.

I couldn't resist creating a temporary Gorgo scene which I shall show my Grandson next time he visits.

Grrr!

3D SHADO LUNAR MODULE MODEL

 

As my recent UFO Moonbase model post went down extremely well with many of you, here’s some photos of my SHADO Lunar Module.

This is a 3D printed model which I bought from a dealer on eBay. It’s 180 mm long (7”) and arrived in five parts.

The model isn’t perfect, but accurate enough for me, although it did need some additional detailing on the base of the hull and around the rear thrusters.

The most annoying, unwelcome detail is the visible 3D printing lines, which on a model of this size is difficult, if not impossible to sand out. While some of the lines on the flat surfaces can be worked on to make them a little less prominent, the more intricate, less accessible areas are much harder to remove, if at all.

I don’t own a 3D printer myself, so I can’t say I’m over familiar with any differences or advantages in the wide range of current machines available, or indeed the quality of the plastic used. Maybe models produced from a more expensive machine wouldn’t have these nuisance lines.

When it came to choosing colours for the model, I just went for something close enough. A can of Ford Carnival Red for the hull, and Aluminium for the engines and ribbed cover. Some essential weathering which darkened the red, and a few random decals from the spares box completed the look.

MADHELL'S MILD MAN ON THE MOON: LEWIS'S CUSTOM ADS

Hi Woodsie, 

Here are some vintage Madhell trade ads I "found".

Things are getting too bloody easy with AI imaging, so I have to make a point that these are not just a lazy prompt's work!

Hope to get the actual toys done in time for the Doll and Miniature Fair, but the LAMB Moon Base is just too big and complex to print out in the time left. These images are fairly obviously 3D renders from my modelling program that have been tweaked in Photoshop...

Do you like 'em?

THIS COMING WEEK IS GORGO WEEK!

 Yep, the British Godzilla get's a week of posts!

Starts Sunday.

It'll be Grrrrr-eat!

Tomorrow belongs to Ogra!

Its In Will's Garage!

Following on from my last post about the corgi rocket sky Park, here are three more battery operated garages. 

The first one always reminds me of the vertical parking garage in Thunderbirds. It’s the closest I found to it. 

The Matchbox auto park I’ve always liked because of the box art. The last one is again a vertical park, just a cheaper version. 

Hope you like them .

VEND A HAND

There's some interesting bits n bobs on this old vending card I saw online. Mid-left there's our old mate the coned LP alien with his raised hand. Why does he do that? Is he asking a question or just saying hello?

What's that silver spaceship next to him?

What else can you spot?

MADHELLS KENN IS OVER THE MOON: LEWIS' CUSTOM FIGURES COME ALIVE!

Kenn's solitary Lunar bliss was short-lived. Mission Control had always worried Kenn wasn't "manly enough" for the job, so they sent him a supervisor. 

This is Super-brain Simian Scopes, the talking Chimpanzee with helpful space phrases like "It's hard to believe you evolved from me!"(Toy not for sale in some places)

Unfortunately Kenn's life is about to get a lot worse, the Soviets have just landed too!

Boris Killoff and his C.L.A.W.

-Communist Launched Atomic Warhead Pak.

(Fallout sold separately)

Mission Control panics, knowing a monkey can't handle Kenn in this situation. "Hey! I'm an Ape, not a Monkey! Can't you even get that right?" Meet Scopes' replacement, Colonel Col Colton, All American jock. He's manly enough and Kenn is already feeling like he's back in High School.

1) Meet manly Col Colton's even manlier Ossie Pal, Ches T. Bond. Harold Holt's Australian on the Moon. Ches is SO manly, his party trick is taking off his pressure helmet in a total vacuum. "So? It hasn't hurt me yet!"

2) Unfortunately Ches has a surprise visitor, it's Next-door Neighbor Noreen. She's come to show him her new baby, Chester Junior...

"Do you like the bonzer sand castle we just built? Say hello to Daddy..."

3) And Ches' life is becoming even more unfortunate as Mrs. Beryl Bond has turned up with her rolling pin to emphasise just how unimpressed she is with his manly ways...

4) Kenn is glad someone else is on the receiving end for a change, but that isn't going to last.

Barbey has just landed to check on how he's doing and she tears him a new one about how he lets other people push him around.

THE END!

Are you fully saturated with this readers or would you like some behind the scenes pics too? Looey
