You know the Drill

I like these little Japanese candy moguras.

They have a basic SpaceX LT-10 vibe too.

They connect too!

Bizarre Oz Space Balls on Beach

This is bizarre!

These strange spheres have landed on Oz's beaches.

Australian Fire Department

Seeing the photo I immediately thought of the LP space dome balls as seen on my friend Paul Vreede's fabulous website! Could the objects be big LP's!

Have you any space junk?

Ever come across anything that's been in space?

Mystery Spaceship Toy

I had to look twice at this dalekesque spacecraft online. I thought it might be a Major Matt Mason vehicle I don't know!

Standing just 12cm tall it's alas, too short for the burly Major.

Is there another suitable figure you'd get to pilot it readers?

I'm unsure if it's make and whether it moves too.

In Praise of Cuppa Soup

There's nothing quite like a Cuppa Soup. My fave is tomato.

A relatively new experience for me, I don't recall cup soups as a kid.

Like a spaceship powdered meal, It's fun to make them in the garden with Junior using a camping stove to heat the water. A camping thing too.

Do you cuppa soup?

What's it called where you are?

What are You Up To Today?

Well it's Saturday July 4th. I know what will that mean for our American readers. The big Independence Day weekend. Hope you're having fun across the pond.

Let us know how you're celebrating ... Or not!

🗽

It's a normal summer Saturday here in Blighty. We've a gardener in, Dave, trimming our hedges. Other than that not much happening today. I might make cheese on toast for a late breakfast.

What are you up to in your neck of the woods around the globe?

Aoshima Time X: The Lineage of Supercars

I stumbled across this Japanese collector, godzitoraman's old page devoted to a whole line-up of Japanese Time X Supercar kits. I'd no idea there were so many!

Is it an Aoshima kit you know?

Rob's Schöne Scheune: the Willy Adler Barn

Woodsy,

Here’s a lovely little HO Scale model kit I snagged off eBay recently, a German-produced Scheune (Barn), which came with lots of little farm business.

I added the animals and people, and tried to create an idyllic scene of yesteryear.

Gotta love Willy Adler, creator of the famous WIAD model empire.

From 1965!
