Barnsley Bits

 Snapped a few bits on a recent Barnsley emporium run.

Is this a Mogura?

And wow, that's a tin chopper!

Coupla old sets. Merit Merry Milkman - not sure what that is  - and Ideal's Hang on Harry, a game I played as a nipper.

I'm beginning to think I didn't watch TV in 1979, but then again I was 18. Ive never heard of Hazell. You? 

And to finish, two gorgeous trackside buildings.

Anything you like?

Spain's Planes

I've been looking at these two SpaceX knockoffs on Spain's Todocollecion. 

They're listed as being by Montaplex, but I'm leaning towards Bullycan, who's SpaceX clones we've seen many times here.

TALK DIRTY

 After owning my old Monogram model of Battlestar Galactica for years I think it's due for a make over, and I'm working out what weathering I should add.

The original prop didn't appear to me to have too much dirtying down, relying more on detailed panel lines., so whatever I do is going to have to be pretty subtle.

You Little Squirt!

I love this little water transistor pistol. Just the kind of toy I loved as a kid in my eternal struggle with two big brothers! 

Did you have anything like this?

BARGAIN GALACTICA

Picked up a couple of bargain basement rebooted Battlestar Galactica sampler DVD's yesterday for a pound a piece . Not for everyone, but it'll be a bit of a reminder for me.

Boys! It's Airgam!

 

How cool is Airgam! I can see Frankenstein top right! 

This old catalogue proves how neat a line Airgam Boys was. Is it still going?

Walking Spacemen: Tiny steps for all Mankind

These Walking Twins are neat. There's two sets of Spacemen too, the yellow clear-headed fellas with the flag, top right and .. The more common Walking Spacemen, below top right.

I really like the hatted singers too!

Such simple technology, ramp walkers like these use a plastic weight and line, which slowly drags these boys to where they want to go.
