TV Sci-Fi in 28mm

[HESH]

You gotta love it!!

So just to recap on Daleks.

Stairs, steps and steep inclines are their natural enemy but revolving doors are their friends?

That is so pre-1988 and the Seventh Doctor confidently running up the stairs and being shocked when the dalek follows him.
Remembrance of the Daleks

To be fair, my interest, such as it was, had peaked and then waned around the time of Tom Baker. I mean at this point we were only watching for Louise Jameson and Lalla Ward and even they were quickly bested by Jaqueline Pearce on the somewhat grittier Blake's 7.

That said, I must move with the times and accept that the homicidal pepper pots have mastered yogic levitation. Presumably all seven chakras are good to go. There's a Christmas Special waiting to be written. Hot Yoga, Dr Who and the Ashram of Death.

That is scarily believable.

Im keeping it strictly retro …. think Peter Cushing .

Finished my patrol and JOP tokens.

Love the UFO stuff. I need to get my projects back on as well.

I have the small, Furuta vehicles, as well as some of the larger ones too. Troops from GZG in the smaller scale, and various others for the larger including some Heroclix figs.

Couple more dice trays finished :

"Hot Yoga, Doctor Who and the Ashram of Death" would likely have been written by Douglas Adams if the BBC had accepted his "Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen" episode. I think a lot of his 'Hitchhikers' and 'Dirk Gently' ideas came from rejected Dr Who scripts!

[forrester]

Elements of Dirk Gently came from the unfinished [but now reconstructed with animations]" Shada"story- I guess he was keen to recycle some ideas from a story that was never going to see the light of day.

Perhaps as well that his crazier ideas like the Krikketmen didn't make it!

[Rick]

Shada was well on its way to being filmed before a technicians strike derailed it, they made one more attempt to finish it then shelved it. Dirk Gently got there first before the later reconstruction and novelisation and, now I notice, they've done a novel of "The Krikkitmen" - after the story appeared in 'Life, the Universe and everything' (I think). May have to pick that book up - and see if I can find some 28mm androids to convert (Hasslefree already do the cricket bats).

[HESH]

Been searching for …. and found a few 1/43 scale diecasts by searching prototype / test card etc …. anything looking sci-fi fits the bill …so far ….

[HESH]

All off EBay ….

Great collection of oddballs.

That Citroen wins for me, it has the same effect of ruining the lines of an originally beautiful car as  Bud Cort's E-type hearse in Harold and Maude or the estate version that Volvo made of their P1800 sports car.

They are interesting vehicles without a doubt, very Gerry Anderson.

My thought exactly. I have ogled that Citroën tire testbed for use as terrain in my UFO project, but never got to buying one. The bagagère version is much more suitable  for retro-futuristic traffic on English country roads though. I might get that one after all

And the experimental Russian taxi fits right in too.

I bet these were quite expensive...
