CAPTAIN SCARLET'S ULTRA HAND

Vintage Andersonalia never ceases to amaze me when it comes to Japan. Everything got the treatment including this grabber, the Ultra Hand!

Old Cap Scarlet isn't just indestructible, he's extendable too! Just what you need to grab your escaping balloon in space!

Have you any strange Anderson toys and collectables readers?

ARTO'S ATOMICS

To celebrate my first two original darts for the Tudor Rose Atomic Ray Pistol, I took this group shot of my arsenal by far. The green one and the black ones are 1950's Finnish clones by Deborex.

Enjoy!

Moonship at Moonbase

 This is my new Century 21 Moonship.

I found it in a cabinet of old stuff in an antiques shop.

I've blogged about the Moonship since the start of Moonbase. Click on the Moonship label below for more.

Have you got a Moonship?

DAN DARE'S FAB SALVAGE CRAFT

 This 2000 AD Annual 1980 was part of a large lot of books that came my way last month.

I was never a 2000 AD reader but I now appreciate the effort and following of the comic that emerged in the decaying end of the Seventies.

Browsing through I was attracted to the reds of Dan Dare.

When Bam! What is that ship!*?

There was more at the end too!

I don't know about you but I think the artist has possibly taken inspiration from two sources we know well.

FAB1

and the Triang SpaceX Salvage Craft

Merging them together you get something like this.

It could be Wurst: Weinermobile Driver Training

Bills Revrod Redux

I bought a blind box of old toys on eBay this week, largely because I could see a couple of items in the rest of the junk that I fancied. It arrived today and in the lot was the hulk of a Denys Fisher Revrod (Kenner SSP) which had been in one race too many and had lost its spoiler and engine block. Along with the other bits was a motorcycle engine, with nice twin turbines, so I cannibalised it and fitted it onto the dragster.

A pair of large Lego wheels and an airplane wing for the front spoiler and a few rubber pipes completed the deal.

Alas, it's not competition grade and won't be tearing up the strip anymore, but it was a fun afternoons work!

 

PAINT YOUR GEN1 WAGON

 With prices for an original white Prime trailer being prohibitive, I bodged together my own using a cheapo Eddie Stobart plastic truck.

Covered in white paper and paint and home-made Prime racing stripes, the final icing came today using some ace Autobot decals Bill had made.

Not perfect and non-transforming, it seems to look the part with my Gen1 Magnus cab.

See what you think readers.
