News - Welcome to my new website - and it was a
surprise for me too! So here we now are (thats if its working ok), and as I was moving I decided to do a little bit of tidying up and change things about a little. As with all things what you think looks good one year looks rather tacky a year or so later, so I have 'tweaked' things a bit. But as I still only have an old computer, and web designer program, it mostly looks the same - so no flashy, moving, inter-active bits yet. However as I now have more webspace to play with some of the pictures can get a little bit bigger, which might be of help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New on website - in 'Moon Zero Two' I have revised the whole section of my site devoted to
this film. When I started it was just about the helmet
that I had restored plus a few other pictures, but over
the years it has grown rather a great deal and now needs
to be broken up into more manageable sections. This has
given me the chance to add more photos - including the
addition of a 1970 calender that I recently bought on
ebay. This was shot on the set of 'Moon Zero Two' and
features the two lovely young ladies Simone Silvera and
Amber Dean Smith (JJ Hubbards companions in the film).
Photos of each month are shown, my favourites being May
& June. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bench - Models on the bench this month are still the Enterprises (when will they ever be finished!) and Fireball Jetbikes. Other models that I've been working on recently include a revised small (23") TB2 that originally dates back to the 1980s. I pulled the balsa masters out of the attic and thought I'd glue them together for a quick build - of course after multiple revisions its turned into another more involved project and every part has been altered. New SPV and and a revised SPC models are also being built, as are XL5's. The XL5 because I wanted the Fireball Junior to detach and the model to be lighter in weight, with a few revisions to shape and colour. So plenty of building but no new 'build articles' yet, although I have recently put up a fairly big interview with special effects man Ian Wingrove about his time working on the Gerry Anderson shows back in the 1960s, and in particular his time on 'Thunderbirds'. That was a fun day but I have to say that I was rather upset to hear that he had 'lost' his original Thunderbird 2!! |
