Seriously, what a great birthday this year! I am resting after Steak and Lobster supper, happy with the national fireworks display in my honor, "Thanks President Biden!", and having spent my Amazon gift card prezzie on lots of goodies!
So, the Far Tottering and Oyster Creek Railway is a work of art by the famed british special effects modelmaker Rowland Emmit; the genius behind much of the wonderful "steampunk" visuals in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
So, I was able to aquire a PZL-11 polish gull wing fighter, and a Lublin XIII recon-bomber for the polyestrine air force, and check out this ground crew; 1940s dinky figures; sort of actual vetrans of the Battle of Britain...
As a distraction from recent events, I've elected to participate in this minor challenge to create new characters—one for each day of January—released a few days at a time. For days seven through 10, I did these characters for Star Frontiers (Cook, TSR Hobbies, et al., 1982), one for each of the four playable character species (human, dralasite, vrusk and yazirian).
