X KRULL

 I saw this Xbox promo poster online.

It immediately made me think of this.

Hmmm. Maybe I was thinking of something else!

Kelly Freas maybe?

Anyways, I don't have an XBox and I've never seen Krull.

Is either an issue?

Postscript:

Maybe I was thinking of this! It makes more sense!

STREET DREAMS

A bevvy of Hot Wheels and Superfast for touching up came in last week. Some great muscle designs here.

A while later duly spruced.

Cabinet ready.

Ed's Airfield: The Olive Drab Pyro XF-90

Greetings Woodsy and Moonbase Gang,

This is a follow-up to the silver XF-90 airplane photos I sent a while back. Pyro did this one in a nice Army Olive Drab scheme - a fantasy color as the real aircraft were never painted in this color. 

Also, you'll notice the tab is missing from the top of the fuselage as this one wasn't destined for that fly-around tower toy. Although toy companies liked to produce toys in all colors of the rainbow, this airplane didn't appear to be offered in anything but silver and OD.

BLAKES 7 DESK COMMUNICATOR SCRATCHBIULT BY KEVIN

Recently finished another Blake's 7 prop. This is a communicator, seen on a desk in Space Command Headquarters in the episode Seek-Locate-Destroy. It is also smashed by accident in an outtake!

Over and out,

Are TB5 and Tracy Island Similar?

Is it just me or are Thunderbird 5 and the ring structure on Tracy Island the same shape?

TIME FOR A NEW CABINET

 I've invested in a new cabinet from a community furniture store.

I'm looking forward to filling it!

What would you put in it?

HOT WHEELS BATTITUDE

This is a great Monster Truck called Battitude and was new for 2022.

While Hot Wheels Mainline models are two and a half to three inches long, the Monster Trucks are more like four inches, and a lot taller due to the depth of the chassis and the giant wheels.

There are only a few basic chassis/engine set-ups, fitted with a wide range of different bodies. Some are shaped more or less like a normal vehicle, while others are more way out.

Battitude is one of the latter. A vampire bat, with a formidable set of teeth. It is a mix of metal and plastic parts. The engine and exhaust pipes are chromed, with a red chassis, and 'eyes' of clear red plastic. Basically black and purple, with extensive tampo printed detailing.

Current Hot Wheels Monster Trucks include a crushed car for you to drive over. In this case, it is a green station wagon.

The models are contained within a clear plastic bubble shaped like a giant wheel.

Hope you like it.

LOOEY'S FENDER SHOP - PART 8: THE FINISHED DISPLAY: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Hi there Moonbasers! 

You know how never seem to get exactly what you want for your birthday? 

Well, there's a simple answer -just do it yourself! Here are the four Husky Toys I never had as a kid, brought back from the grave -or in this case, the junkyard!

I needed a gift box for these puppies and luckly there's lots of reference floating around on the web. As they said in Casino Royale  " It's amazing what you can do with Photoshop these days..."

So a quick background extension, painting out the Batboat and adding a perspective tweaked Monkeemobile from a Corgi catalogue later, I have a very authentic looking but totally bogus title card. Oh, look! The Uncle Piranha has a logo on the bonnet in the illustration, so it must be a thing!

       Happy birthdays to you lot too!

     

 Looey
