A New Dimension: Space Lines

Watching these two pals on Star Trek play 3D chess (do you remember it?) ....

https://youtu.be/BFeMD2MfNDg?is=nt3Dh2hSWyU29o0- 

Reminded me of that plastic 3D game Space Lines, which we had when I was a kid and is so iconic of the Sixties.

Did you have Space Lines?

Airfix in the Dales

 Whilst holidaying on the Yorkshire Dales this weekend I invested in this boxed Airfix German Half Track from 1975. 

Is it a kit you know?

There's lots there with parts still on bags.

The main body has been built. 

The box contained lots of hard plastic soldiers including Rommel.

There were instructions and transfers too.

A nice find as was seeing the neat open rear Dales bus in lovely Reeth.

What a great looking vehicle. Have you open top buses where you are?

Mystery Carrier

 This is unusual. I saw it online and think it's a Japanese aircraft carrier of sorts.

There's lots going on, caves, domes, spaceships.

It's fabulous

But what is it? 

Manual Labour

I know the modern Hollywood Thunderbirds film wasn't a huge favourite but here's a collectable I haven't seen before, the Fab 1 Car Manual in a pink case!

Lady P has Parker to fix her car. She doesn't need a manual! 😂

Major Blaster Barton! He-Man Blasternaut!

This 1985 Earth Force Flight Team figure is all new to me. By Pace, this is Major Blaster Barton. He looks a lot like He-Man to me! 

Is this a bendy leg line you know ? 

Seltzer Science! Using Chemicals Found in the Home!

This caught my eye, a Chemcraft Lionel Porter rocket from Hagerstown, lifting off using kitchen chemistry! 

I never had anything like this. You?

  

The Convair XFY Pogo in Brian's World

 Hello Paul,

My Convair XFY Pogo in 1/72 scale perversely landed on the roof of East Winchley Station when the RAF decided to test ths aircraft for British use.

In Brian's World it was decided that the P1127 Jump Jet would be more useful.

Arto's Specstacular Bat Specs

Arto recently found these ace Bat Specs and kindly sent me a pic.

I so remember them as a kid. Hard plastic with an actual bat's face on top!

So cool! I wonder if they came with a costume?

Did you have Bat Specs?

Do you wear normal specs like me? I have since age 11!
