Not only was I able to stock up on retro space adventures in
book form this holiday season, but I was also able to order two retro spaceship model kits that I've had on my Wishlist for the last couple of years to place under the Solstice Tree. In this case, they're re-issues of kits that I coveted as a kid, but never owned. The
"Interplanetary U.F.O. Mystery Ship" (which I wrote about over on my
Space: 1970 blog recently), and the Lindberg
"Space Base & Satellite Explorer," which is actually two kits - dating back to the 1950s - repackaged together in one box.
My best friend in elementary school had
both the U.F.O. Mystery Ship and the Lindberg "wheel" space station kits, and I always envied him for having them on his shelves. Now
I've got them... and maybe someday I'll even get around to actually building and painting them!
