Oooh! I haven't had my Lensbaby lens out in years! These pix were snapped with an iPad, and then to somewhat disguise the poor quality, I layered on some app effects using an app called PhotoToaster.

But now you have me thinking about the Lensbaby again! I may need to dust off the old DSLR and see if it still works!

Star Patrol in The Aeron Incident - Part I - Cut & Run

Units of Star Patrol Squadron 13, including scout ship FS-009 Edward D. Wood Jr., have assisted in an attack by combined space forces on the RPV Jolly Rogers, a suspected space pirate vessel believed to be under the command of a notorious and mysterious vandal of the void known as Aeron. Having suffered considerable damage in the encounter, the space forces withdraw, leaving the shattered hulk of the pirate vessel adrift and ablaze.

Aurora set - yes. Paid more than I should have, probably, but ya only go broke once, right?

Scope is one of those plastic pumps from a bottle of liquid soap, with a rectangular bit glued to it as a screen. I thought about attaching 1/6 scale binoculars to make an eyepiece, but when I found the rectangular widget I decided to go with a screen.

I'm reasonably happy, for a change, with the "cramped and grungy" look of this sequence.

Well, I love how it came out!

I can fully concur with the immortal Mae West who once said: "I've been rich and I've been poor. Rich is better!"

Great set up Dave! 
Excellent use of material too. It's all coming  together.

Great story Dave! the crew look to be in trouble now, will they survive , looking forward to the next installment!

Great stuff Dave!

Space-tastic chapter space cadet Dave . Dave since they have been talking about space pirates, I think you definitely need to kitbash up your own space pirate captain .

You are doing some cracking space work Dave

The stories are great and the use of props etc is excellent . looking forward to the next instalment.

On the you can only go bus once thoughts .. now I'm retired ..I'm thinking .."if not now ..when ? "

Dave,

There is no limit to how many times you can go bankrupt, but this does answer the mystery of where one of the 2 Auroras that were on eBay went.

Nice detective work, there, Nancy Drew!

Try Sam Spade!


Seriously, your crew looks good with the three figures in suits and you seem to have taken the concept very much to heart. I almost feel bad about having started you on this path.....but then I realized that I didn't start you on this path at all. It was always there beneath the surface. At best, I re-awakened a retro-sci-fi bent that had always been there.

That is an accurate assessment, yes. Your pointing out the intriguingly retro look of the Cy Girls sets is what turned a passive "intent" in to an active project. I was not previously familiar with those sets.

And you do seem to be enjoying this concept....

I was thinking in terms of Kamiko as the sleuth! Or Laura, more likely.

Wait'll you see the modifications Cadet Corbett is making to her spacesuit!

Leopard skin boots, no doubt.

Why stop with the boots? Here's a sneak preview:

Your imagination is running away with you Dave......and your wallet too by the looks of it!

Lot of unprotected cleavage there though.
Definitely "inner" wear!

Go girl! I think it’s brilliant to see a whole load of stile in Sci fi. I’m just totally loving her leopard print indoors space outfit.
