Many thanks to Michael and Tony for those kind words!
Michael, you're dead right, in actual fact he was intended to be holding the fighting pike but I had some problems there! As you'll see below, the basis for Neroon was the AMT vinyl kit of Dr McCoy from Star Trek. Now, according to the instructions, it said you could bend the vinyl by placing the part in hot water for a few minutes. That's what I tried to do, warming up the hand and clamping it around the aluminium tube for the pike. The trouble was within about half an hour the fingers would always straighten back out into their original position!
(A sort of vinyl memory?)
If I was making him today I'd probably cut out little wedges from under the finger joints and super glue the hand into position. Back then I didn't have the skills or knowledge (or the courage) to try that!
Tony, I can remember the excellent Sevans range of vac formed models too!
Like you I only ever got one of them (as you can see below)I had to photograph him from the right (oops that's the left!
, the other side has a lot more missing black paint!
I always wanted the Cyberman too. I found some references on the search and I'd forgotten how many kits they actually did produce...
Two Daleks, Special Weapons Dalek, Davros, Cyberman, Ice Warrior, K9, I think two Dr Whos and the Tardis Oh! and Davros as the Imperial Emperor Dalek too!
I really wish they were still around!
Betamax!!!
Talking of record players I bet someone brings out a collection of Jazz LPs!!!
Ah, memories!
