Re: NASA Launch Pad

This remind me of Fireball XL5. You oldies out there might remember it. I recall my granddad telling me about it sometime. (honest)

Re: NASA Launch Pad

Priceless.
Venus was definitly a doll, and I'd forgotten about Robert the robot.
Ahead of it's time, and acting less wooden than some today.

Thanks fot the link, that is, if you ever get back here to read it.

Come on Peter, we all know you played at being Steve Zodiak

The really old will remember that Zoony was a Lazoon (and I didn't need to Google any of the names, sad to say I still remember them ).

I'd just like to state publicly that Gary is NOT my grandad.

We didn't.

Mind you we didn't get indoor plumbing where I lived (well a toilet anyway) till I was 10 years old.

Re: NASA Launch Pad

After a week on nights here's my little rendition, a bit of smudging to shift the pixilation then into Corel Bitmap Trace, high quality image, then knocked the number of colours down to 150, took into PS for levels and sat layers and hi-pass sharpen.
