Cool Birthday Presents

I got together with my family yesterday to celebrate several of our birthdays.  I received some of the old RAFM Call of Cthulu figures, and a really cool tin litho rocket that my sister found in Spain.  My parents got me some sets of figures I’ve been wanting for a long time.

FASA makes the coolest palaces and locations from the Flash Gordon comic trips for gaming:  http://www.hangar18fasa.com/flash_gordon_42.html  The space ships are a little more than an inch long.   If you check out the Web page, you’ll see that there are several. My parents got me the complete set of locations.

A couple of years ago, I got my hands on a bunch of plastic space ships that were meant to be markers for a board game based on the 1970’s Buck Rogers television show.  The ships are about the same size.  I think these all will mix well with the War Rocket figures I’ve been painting as well.  I can’t wait to get started on them, but that will have to wait until after Historicon.
