Vectrex: too busy playing to post
As commented below, the first thing I did with the Vectrex was check all the scanned documentation online (there’s a hardcore support community out there). I also found just how difficult it is to get a good picture of the … Continue reading
True Legend
Here’s a film I watched recently. True Legend only had a couple of names I was familiar with Yuen Woo Ping (the guy who did the action sequences in The Matrix and Kill Bill, if you missed the fact that … Continue reading

Xbox 360 knackered
Yes, as expected, my 360 has crapped out with an E74 hardware error. Microsoft have really let me down during my 360 ownership.

Xbox 360 knackered?
My 360 is starting to develop some problems with the in-game graphics. Menu’s and static screen appear to be okay, so I’m currently waiting on a hardware failure light. You can see what I mean with Bulletstorm here:

Vectrex: multicart
I’m still awaiting delivery of my Vectrex console, but I got my VecMulti cartridge delivered today from here: http://www.vectrex.biz/. It stores the Rom images on a Micro SD card, which means I can add any new homebrew games to it … Continue reading
Spinner: lights are done
If you don’t look too close, the lights look okay.
Spinner: entering the home straight
Masked and painted the rear. Finally managed to fit the top and bottom sections together. Good old elastic bands to help them stick.
My new stick (has finally arrived)
And not before time. So after an interminable wait my custom stick has arrived from Chris at Shadaloo. It currently supports: PC, PS3, PS2, Super Famicom and I am waiting on my PC Engine cable. Apparently the MC Cuthulhu doesn’t … Continue reading

Spinner: finished the bottom
Didn’t get much done today, but I did get the bottom of the Spinner finished. I have also basically finished the interior. Still quite a bit left to do though.
Spinner: problems with white
I managed to actually finish up some sections of the Spinner today, and gloss coated the underside. Unfortunately I had an issue with some white sections that needed painting. As you can see from the images below, it was always … Continue reading
I don’t read Marvel comics
Generally. I find it a chore to follow Marvel comics as they are forever renumbering, relaunching and crossing-over and it’s simply not worth the bother of trying to follow any series in particular. And believe me, I’ve tried. They have … Continue reading

Spinner: wheels 3
Today I moved on to masking the tyre section of the wheels off. Not as easy as it sounds as I had to cut a lot of small curved sections (very time consuming). Quite happy with the results though, and … Continue reading
Spinner: wheels 2
As well as the flying bits of wheels, there are also the road going ones. These have been painted in Mr Color Tire Black. It’s an odd shade, but I’m sure will look fine when completed. There are also way … Continue reading
Spinner: wheels 1
If you look at my previous post, and then at the pictures below, you’ll see that I have repainted the “details” in the cockpit as I simply couldn’t get them right. What I have actually managed to do satisfactorily is … Continue reading
