Thanks.

The Zanti Misfits model comes on a display stand (just like the others).  As I hadn't glued him into place, I thought it would look cool just to pose him in the back garden.

Trouble is, once I start looking back at these photos I've posted, I start to see ways to improve upon the original paint jobs, lol!

Improve the paint jobs? I would be happy has hell to get the textures and tones that you did on those. But, I understand what you are saying ;-).

Eaglemoss have announced at the weekend that they will be producing a line of ships from Battlestar Galactica. I don't know whether this is original, new or a mix of both.

More money going their way! More shelf space to be found!

I spoke with an Eaglemoss rep at the con over the weekend. Begged them to do a line of Gerry Anderson vehicles.

Iron Man "Syroco" figure. Based off the Steve Ditko image. I love these things. Although, not all characters should be done in this style. But, most of the time Dark Horse/Yoe is right on the money.

Judge Dredd and his Lawmaster from Mezco. The Lawmaster has a bunch of sound effects and lights up all over the place. The tires are rubber and the seat is padded.
Dredd has a ton of accessories. The details are amazing. They even put the Judges eagle tread on the bottom of his boots.

No response beyond "That would be fun." Which means nothing, of course!

JB, just out of curiosity, which ones would be at the top of your wish list?

Fireball XL5, Supercar, FAB 1, an Angel Interceptor, Cloudbase, an SPV....

Except for Cloudbase, I have all of those in larger scales, but Eaglemoss does such a nice job.

Ohh, an SPV. I used to have a Dinky toy of that.

And an Angel interceptor, and Captain Scarlet's car, and a UFO Interceptor, and a Mobile.

All gone now. sniff

Thanks for reply JB!

I would definitely want a Cloudbase, but also some of the more obscure vehicles as well, like ill-fated Doppleganger from JOURNEY TO THE FAR SIDE OF THE SUN.
