BRITAINS Farm Toys.

Hi...I've decided to collect Britains Farm Toys once again. My first purchase however this time is not Britains - it is a 1/32nd VOLVO Tractor model made by YAXON.  

The VOLVO Tractor model is very nice and it is also rare and collectible.

I've purchased a packet of Britains Sheep- they are great toys for sure.

I've also purchased some Britains Cows.

I'm particularly interested in the Farmer figure- I intend to carve away the walking stick and add full length trousers with 'Green Stuff' and re-paint the figure.

I've purchased this Britains OAK Tree model.

I intend to make up a small Farm on my Study Cabinet shelf- must have trees.

Well- that is my news for Monday night.

Stay well Friends. KEV.

STAR TREK - Miniture StarShip Battles.

 Yesterday I had four star ship battles with the ENTERPRISE NCC-1701 and the Klingon Cruiser. The Enterprise has Phasers and Photon Torpedoes and the Klingon ship - blasters. The Enterprise won all four games using my second version of the rules I wrote.

The ships measure 4.5" long.

Best Wishes. KEV.

 

STAR TREK- Display of TOS Starships.

 Hi...Thought to show my Playmates ENTERPRISE NCC-1701 and Klingon ships. The Enterprise model is very nice and also features sound effects and lighting. Today I'll be having a Game with my smaller 4.5" ships-the Enterprise NCC-1701 versus the Klingon Cruiser. I wrote my own rules- we'll see how they go.

Well- that is my news for this evening- stay tuned for further STAR TREK updates. Cheers. KEV.

STAR TREK- Klingon Cruiser Model.

Some while back I assembled and painted a KLINGON Cruiser. I cannot recall the manufacturer of the kit- it may be Revel or perhaps a Monogram. The Cruiser is comparable in size to the 18inch ENTERPRISE model which I'll soon have here for display.

The KLINGON Cruiser.

That is my news today- Best Wishes. KEV.

 

STAR TREK- Classic Toy Figure Set.

 Hi...I've ordered from the US a Classic Star Trek Figure set made by Playmates. The set should take some time to arrive from the US. I really like these Playmates figures which I've had before. The set depicts the crew of Captain James T. Kirk - all from the original 1966 Star Trek.

That is my news for today- stay well Friends- Cheers. KEV.

STAR TREK - Enterprise NCC-1701 Model.

 Hi...I've ordered a STAR TREK model- the ENTERPRISE NCC-1701. My liking for Star Trek goes back to 1966- though we didn't have a TV then so I had to wait till the mid 1970s to watch the TV Episodes in Black and White. I've bought the model with the view to have a small display in my Study Cabinet.

Stay well my Friends. Cheers. KEV.

HEALTH Update on KEV.

 Hi...I'm well- 68yrs, contented and happy. However, I use to weigh 98kg... and when I had my quadruple heart bypass back in 2020 I weighed 72kg- now in 2024 I weigh just 53kg. I've lost a lot of muscle mass in my legs and arms. I don't walk very well and am very unsteady on my feet- very slow and down to shuffling along...I usually choose to walk on flat areas if I can. We've had wooden and concrete ramps built at the back door and backyard pathways - we're having metal railings added to the front door area and the ramp areas in the back yard. Also we now have a toilet seat with handles to make it easier getting on and off the toilet.  I cannot lift anything heavy and bending down is also a problem. Otherwise I'm going OK.

Having mentioned my problems with Mobility - thankfully I still have my Hobby and can still enjoy painting miniature figures and making models- which is a blessing.

Stay well my Friends. Cheers. KEV.
