Many years ago I use to write wargame articles for a living, sort of anyway, as I mostly made my living by doing other stuff to pay the bills as such. Such is the glamorous life of a wargame author! I also wrote for club zines too, and I did a very long piece on the Daleks for Ragnarok, the magazine of the SF&SFW. Anyway, Daleks scared me as a child and fascinated me as a teenager and about 20 years ago I was given a bunch of 15mm castings of Daleks and Cybermen that were leftovers that had been produced for a demo game.
Foolishly I passed on the Cybermen, and again decided foolishly that I didn't need all the Daleks I had either. Oh how I regret that decision. Give them to me, give them all to me my preciouses. Anyway, I've recently been refurbishing my old figures, and I decided to re-base my 15mm Daleks and re-varnish them too, after touching up the odd chip of paint at the same time.
Nummy. The Golden Emperor never showed up in the show? Man, I've got to get a DVD collection sometime... also: Second Empire webcomic, it makes a bunch of references to old sci-fi and I'm getting only half of 'em. Dunno if you want webcomics on your daily rotation, and have no idea how it compares to the TV21 series.
ReplyDeleteI surely do watch web comics and the Second Empire Series is a lot of fun. The TV21 series was aimed at a younger, less sophisticated audience than Second Empire, which is squarely aimed at old time fans.
