News Displaying 107 to 116 of 110  Thank to Dan Hitchin, I was able to expand the collection of images of this publication that combines a lot of publicity stills with a lot of artwork that isn't found elsewhere.
In one of the new photographs (IMG_6123), you can see one of the double-page images much more clearly: the Alliance ship attacking what I think we can take as being Pluto Alpha Base.
The page text resembles a last report from Captain Carter (pictured, lower-right) to Star Fleet before the base is destroyed.
On the ground are some interesting anti-aircraft (or anti-spacecraft) vehicles, which are not seen in the show, but have a striking design.
Equally, you might take it (as I did originally), given that the base itself isn't pictured, that this is a different EDF installation: somewhere else inside the solar system or beyond, being attacked by the Alliance. Also, the appearance of the terrain is different.
I took it to be a volcanic planet: much like Alloria.
These ground vehicles could be specialised for other: possibly higher-gravity, environments, given that they aren't seen on Pluto in the show.
This copy of the book can be found on ebay, but its condition doesn't seem to merit the price.
I will keep an eye out for one in better condition so that it can be properly scanned for the website.
Update: I found some additional images of this in the Articles and Scans folder: one of them showing the Dai-X and the constituent fighters, which have been now been brought together in the same folder as more recent images.  I've been having a play of Terminal Velocity: Boosted Edition. which is a renewed version of the 1995 3D flight-sim/spaceshooter, which led Microsoft to release Fury3: a very similar game made by the same developer.
On the one hand, TV had some elements that make it feel a little bit unfinished, but a lot of the bugs that contributed to that impression are fixed in the boosted edition.
At the same time, the game will play at 1440p resolution and higher.
The rendering distance is significantly increased, so you can get a much better look at a lot of interesting enemy installations and vehicles that are surprisingly detailed and well textured, given how little detail the original engine could output.  This project took a big knock for a couple of years, with the closure of most open churches.
Since then, I've built up quite a collection of images from places like Woodhorn, Bamburgh, Ingram, Stirling, Holystone, as well as others for this project.
I plan on processing as much of this back catalogue, as well as visiting some further churches this summer.  There's not a lot to do in Northumberland when the weather's bad.
Metroland, Quasar, Laser Quest - all dried up many moons ago.
So, I made a note to visit the Museum of Classic Sci-Fi in Allendale, which I found on google maps, while slacking off at work, as soon as we had a rainy weekend.
I was really taken aback by the variety of exhibits that they had.
Maybe the most surprising one was the skitter alien from Falling Skies, which I found to be a very compelling series.
Leelu loved their K-9 replica and wanted to take it home.
My wife, who works in museums, was really impressed with the interpretation panels and how well the exhibits were presented and preserved.
It was also a lovely village with easy parking and lots of hospitality.
Anyway, check out some of the photos that I got.
They only show a handful of the exhibits.
Someone was filming a documentary when we were there, which made it awkward to take more but it gives me another reason to go back before long.
