My Home-Made Corgi Popeye Paddlewagon

 I needed a new project this week and I've always liked the Corgi Popeye Paddlewagon since having one as a young spinach gobbler.

I thought I'd make one. A Paddlewagon.

I found an old smallish car and consulted the Great Book of Corgi.

I scoured my bits drawers and began glueing stuff together. Popeye, Olive Oil, the lot.

After a while it was done. I just needed a tin of spinach and the car a lick of paint.

Finished! 

Hope Popeye's happy.

My POTA stunt rider turned up. I gave him a small rifle for his back.

Here's all three things I've finished this last two days.

Waddaya reckon readers?

Have you got a Paddlewagon?

The Moonbase International Martian Chronicles Custom Figure Completed

 A while back I blogged a small Martian Chronicles figure I'd made. All I needed to finish it was a decent blister for Bill's fabulous card art.

I found one. A dates box at Booths supermarket in Keswick. I bought three. It's a lot of dates!

A proper job now it's done.

See what you think.

Ed's Deluxe Reading Rocket Base U.S.A.

Woodsy,

A couple of years ago I got this boxed Deluxe Reading Rocket Base U.S.A. set to go with my Operation X-500 (which still hasn't been photographed!).

My set has issues - lots of them - however, all the major components are there (minus one missile launcher): the beautiful colors on the box are gone, faded to nothingness; a previous owner put decals on the truck that are more appropriate for the service pit at a Formula 1 race; there are no figures; two of the missiles are missing and railings are broke.

Yet, in spite of all that, when this is assembled it still looks like a formidable toy.

Has anyone else got one?

I have yet to find an item number or set number as none is listed on the box or any instruction sheet I've seen on the Internet.
