11/04 November's free, downloadable wallpaper is based on Dan Lee's Johnny Quest Dragonfly supersonic, suborbital transport - built from the Moebius kit.

10/15 Jürgen Rath repainted and re-purposed an older model, and now his Formula One Air Racer is October's free - and late - downloadable wallpaper. No point in having a calendar grid by now -we'll do better next month. Un-doing 20 years of habits when running the Store is making me even slower than usual.....

10/05 Only took forever - and that's my fault - but the New Store is online. One day I'm going to write a book on how *NOT* to undertake a major change like this - and Dan Holmes, Mykel Robinson and (of course) Linda will be the plucky heroes who persevered against everything my fat .... hatred of change .... and OCD ... and, yeah, PTSD .... could throw at them. Epic Best Seller - so stay tuned!

So .... what I'm saying is that I'm the villan, and Linda, Dan and Mykel saved the Store from my nefarious .... um, "nefariousness". But it's up now, and - bonus: looks great on a fone.

Now - to the Calendar!

09/25 Our hosting company applied some "updates" last night and broke the Store - but that's fixed now.

09/03 September's free, downloadable wallpaper is based on Scott Scariot's painstakingly-lighted Deep Space 9 station.

08/04 August's free, downloadable wallpaper is based on Jason Eaton's scratchbuilt 1/24 Y-Wing.

07/04 July's free, downloadable wallpaper is based on Robb Merrill's Concept Speeder, based on a preliminary design by Joe Johnson, which was part of the Sketchbook Challenge on display at Wonderfest 2019.

06/20 A quick programming note: We will be on a short vacation from 20 June- 2 July. The Store will still be open, and you can order/reserve products, but nothing will ship until 3 July.

05/30 June's free, downloadable wallpaper is based on Will Barton's 1/1000 USS Franklin, a 1/1000 Excelsior kit from Round2 with some custom decal work.

There have been a lot of new arrivals in the Store too - so check those out.

04/17 April's free, downloadable wallpaper is based on Michael Walston's USS Enterprise in space dock.

Yeah. 17 days late. Really more for historical purposes now than anything else. The last month ... well, better to leave most of it to fading memory. Short notice business trips, a not-unexpected death in the family .... I'd tell you all about it but I'm not going to. Instead, I've been building Moebius' new USS Kelvin model at the kitchen counter, in bits of time stolen from more pressing issues. I will tell you about that. Eventually - I'm now in the PSR(Putty/Sand/Repeatt)stage (No fault of the kit - I'd don't see so well no more and my hands shake).

There have been a lot of new arrivals in the Store too - so check those out.

03/04 March's free, downloadable wallpaper is based on John Dalco's Hawk from Space:1999.
