This second model started life as the Bandai ‘Space Fighter Interceptor’ which I purchased at the 1987 World SF Convention, held in Brighton UK. . Apart from removing the firing mechanism for the missile, I carried out the following work: Reshaped the missile nosecone Detailed the cockpit, removing the bust of the pilot with a properly-detailed pilot figure Replaced the domed windscreen with a more accurate item replaced the landing…
The Room
It’s a bland room, with walls in an indefinable hue of palest mauve, or perhaps it’s taupe. I was never very good at colours. Either way it fades into the distance, one of those shades that seems to draw back the more you stare at it. They probably paid some psychologist to tell them what colour to use, something restful they would have said; we want something calming and soothing….
Trapped (The Vampire Series 4)
WARNINGS: slight sexual innuendos, some violence 16:30 The drive to the docks took longer than expected. Traffic was heavy as they went through town to arrive at the correct area. The SHADO mobile unit was equipped to go overland and was slow by comparison on the road. Davidson, one of Ford’s people, greeted Straker as he joined the mobile crew. “We’re still not triangulated. Ferrales is working on it. Ford’s…

Tags: atheism, religious references Garbage. That was all that was left now. We’d picked over the scraps, sent anything of any useable size back to HQ for analysis, cleared the site, written the interim reports. But there had been very little to retrieve.

Gabrielle Drake Part 1

To be honest, I had a bit of a schoolboy crush on her and I was old enough to start college. Such is the effect of the woman who is without a doubt one of the most beautiful in the…
Lured (The Vampire Series 3)
23:56 pm Ford poked his head into Straker’s office looking worried. Not all that unusual. “Yes?” Ed responded quickly. “Security, sir. Col. Freeman left the premises over an hour ago. His car’s in the lot still, along with his gun sitting on the bonnet.” Galvanized Ed was on the phone to security for a full report. Within minutes he was at the scene and was as baffled as his security…
