Rob C.'s Gouache Sketches Based on My Toyscape Photos - Pt 6 (Final) Tri-ang Swing Wing Hawk

The last piece of art that Rob C. sent was his excellent rendition of Tri-ang's Swing Wing Hawk. He has the wings extended in his interpretation and I must say, it adds more drama, more 'oomph' to the composition! Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed

Tri-ang SpaceX Superset 1 No. 1175 - Pt 17 (Final) ACCESSORIES: Vacu-form Moonscape and 6 Figures

The final installment of our Tri-ang Superset 1 # 1175. The Superset is all about the spaceships and vehicles, so there's isn't much by way of extra accessories. The main 'extra' is the vacu-formed Moonscape in white. It's a nice piece but unfortunately, the way it's molded leaves very few flat spots to position figures on and it's a bear trying to do photo set-ups. It measures: 13" (33.02cm) W x 10.75" (27.3cm) D x 1.75" (4.44cm) H. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed

Here's what one of my photo set-ups look like 

Figures

Out of 13 possible poses Tri-ang made, six figures were included in this set and would have been chosen at random off the assembly line and tossed into the box. My set had multiples of the same figure but I have since swapped them out so that all six are different

Tri-ang SpaceX Superset 1 No. 1175 - Pt 16 OUTER SPACE TRAVEL SERIES Space Patrol 1

When Tri-ang licensed Multiple Toymakers to sell the Spacex line here Stateside under the 'Golden Astronaut' banner, a few pieces underwent changes. Under Multiple, the 'Space Patrol 1' became the 'Space Command Ship'. My Tri-ang Space Patrol 1 has the earlier lighter blue engine nacelle cones. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed

Tri-ang SpaceX Superset 1 No. 1175 - Pt 15 OUTER SPACE TRAVEL SERIES Rocket Nova 1 (in HTF UK Only green)

On the one hand, acquiring this set was absolutely terrific. Not only because of the original box, but because several pieces were only found in the UK. On the other hand, some of the pieces had issues. This rocket was missing two of the smaller nickel plated solid rocket boosters and I had to hit the spare parts bin for extras.

When Tri-ang teamed up with Multiple Toymakers to sell the toys here Stateside (under the Golden Astronaut banner), several color changes were made. This Nova 1 rocket was originally sold in the UK with a green main booster. Multiple Toymakers sold it here in the States with a purple booster. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed
