Just realised that I have never posted in this area before.

So I think it's about time you knew a little more about me.

My name is Gary, I started modelling aged 8 using a Stanley knife and still have all my fingers. My first model was an Airfix 1:72 Buccaneer aircraft that had a bit of glue on the wings and canopy, wasn't painted as I was too impatient, but all the bits that were supposed to move did move.

My favourite subject is SF - not to be confused with "Sci-Fi" or "Syfi" - but proper science fiction. Something with a real message like "Silent Running" (One of the biggest and best ecological disaster movies ever made, in my opinion.) or "Forbidden Planet" staring Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, and Leslie Nielson.

I have quite a large collection of models from over the years, some of which may appear on this site now or in the future.

Models such as this

Drone 1 ("Dewey") from the aforementioned "Silent Running". Model by Destiny models.

Or these

Titan Find's "Liberator" from "Blake's 7"


"Scorpio" from the same series and manufacturer


By Harry, she's BIG. The "London"

I also have a rather rare beast which I will post later on - can't get the picture at the moment.

And I have a HUGE interest in 1:1 scale film and TV prop kits. This translates into a load of Phasers, Klingon disruptors, a couple of "Lawgiver" handguns from different generations of "Judge Dredd", and all sorts of other resin guns.
