THE EAGLE BOOK OF SPACECRAFT MODELS IN FULL

A few months back there was a note added to an earlier post requesting full scans for the EAGLE BOOK OF SPACECRAFT MODELS.

I had intended to do that for myself anyway but when I looked for the book I couldn't find it.

I literally looked at probably over a thousand books and very many cartons over several months.

I just found it tucked away in plain sight, the spine having no printing on it.

So here are 57 scans. Good luck to anyone who needs a Jetex motor for any of these!

CARS BOOK TWO BY ORBIT BOOKS

I picked up this lovely little Orbit-Collins CARS book [Two] recently.

One of those gorgeously illustrated books from the Sixties to help kids identify car makes.

The rear cover even holds a little Aston Martin picture.

Did you have a book like this?

I'M SEEING SEA DEVILS

Last night held a grand discovery for me. BBC iPlayer have all episodes of Dr. Who available to watch online.

I took the opportunity, after what, 54 years, to re-watch one of my favourite episodes with 'my' Doctor John Pertwee, namely the Sea Devils.

It didn't disappoint. Everything I remember was there; the sea fort, UNIT, the Master and those Sea Devils themselves.

I loved the origin of the Devils in the first episode, which I'd forgotten, that the lizardy fellas were a race, who once inhabited the Earth and fancied another shot at it.

I'd also forgotten how effective the electronic music and sound effects were. The BBC Radiophonics team were amazing. It carries the whole action along and adds tons to the creepy atmosphere those old episodes had in spades.

I'm looking forward to watching the whole series of the Sea Devils on iPlayer.

Did you like the Sea Devils?

THE JAWS CHEVY BLAZER

Replica Entertainment is one of the higher priced Hot Wheels ranges, aimed at collectors. It is devoted mainly to film and TV related vehicles.

The models have metal bodies, metal baseplates, and more realistic Real Rider wheels. The level of finish and decoration is also higher than on the usual Mainline toys.

This '75 Chevy Blazer Custom open truck is part of the 2023 range. It depicts a Police Department vehicle from the film Jaws (1975).

The model is very well done, in tan and white, with a brown interior. The tampo printed markings include the Amity Police Dept. lettering on the doors.

The artwork on the backing card is based on the film poster. Copyright date is 2022 on the model, but 2023 on the card.
