Electranaut...

Well good luck if and when you do resurrect the Straker car model - that would be FAB!!! I'm on that learning curve myself - still struggling hard unfortunately - but love to get stuck in when I can. JoEtzold, here, has given me lots of help, tips and tricks so far, thus enabling me to render and play with runtimes much, much better than previously. Thanks again, Jo...

Yeah I really enjoyed the Elstree studios adventure tour, which I composed myself, after much researching of all those TV series and movies moments (UFO, The Avengers, The Champions, The Saint, Randell & Hopkirk deceased, On the Buses - it goes on forever...) mostly back in the 60s-70s, when the bottom was falling out of the UK film industry/market due to tax changes and reccessions etc, etc... and when lots of talent were moving to the US, where the lower taxation system was much easier on the pocket, and the ego!!! Yeah that sounds about right concerning Holby and or Casualty, and also right behind that very building are the outside set lots where the current Eastenders series is filmed - not that I am a fan of this particular show... 

And yes I've seen some sites with information as regards those SHADO vehicles, and the peeps who currently own them. Must be quite amazing to own an actual TV or Movie prop, and have all the history that goes with it. Oddly enough, I own a full size Dalek - few images here somewhere - but I build the beastie myself over 18-months... So its not an original prop - but equally fantastic to own. I though I saw a page about that six-wheeled vehicle, some time ago, but cannot recall exactly where I saw it... It might have been in bad condition, and the story might have been fairly old anyway...

It would be great to see a whole UFO/SHADO related Poser friendly package - I'd give my mother-in-law free of charge for that... Seriously though I'd pay good money for such an item - especially if it was good quality!!! I'll have to go check on that link, matey! Looks very interesting indeed. Thanks for that!!!

That signed UFO annual sounds great!!! Quite a find in fact... I have the Lt G Ellis 8x10 B&W photograph as dipicted on this thread somewhere - one of my faves! As I've probably mentioned here previously, I was lucky enough to meet Gabby Drake back in the early seventies, when working as a messenger boy in South Kensington, London, and gave her a telegramme... It took a while before I recognised her, as she wasn't clad in silver and had brownish hair and barely any make-up on. Still brought a smile to my face though... She was living ten minutes walk from Kensington Church Street at the time...

I've done a wee bit of fiction writing myself - you wouldn't think it after seeing my writing in general - and actually completed one as yet unpublished novel, so the comic-strip story telling malarkey sounds very interesting also!!! So speculate on...!
