Time Tripper and The doctor

 As I reported last month, Paul Smith passed away. I was recently asked to look through his miniatures and offer suggestions for their disposal. The figures below have made their way to my home.

While going through his collection, I discovered some figures I had originally donated for the Time Tripper game we ran back in 2019. These included a TARDIS along with a squad of Daleks (purchased from Black Tree Design) which Paul had painted for the event, as well as a Canadian Forces section from the Canadian manufacturer Full Battle Rattle, painted by Les.

The original SPI Time Tripper board game revolved around a US squad "unstuck in time" from the jungles of Vietnam in the late 1960s. For our updated tabletop version, we modified the scenario to feature troops representing the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) operating in the mountains of Afghanistan in the first decade of the 21st century.

At this time I am unable to confirm if Full Battle Rattle are still open.

TARDIS? - SAGA - Objective Marker???

 Another possible idea for an  objective marker. The figure for scale. Is this the legendary blue box that travels through time and space? It might explain what has happened to some of my mail. As for the Doctor he might even be the real McCoy.

Inspector Spacetime, Not!!

 Located in the Town of Mount-Royal/ Ville Mont-Royal is a red telephone booth. Directions to reach it using public transit can be found here. I am not sure if this is a true picture or not, I have passed by a couple of time but have never stopped to take a photo.

The reason I bring this up is as a household, we have recently started watching Community during our supper hour. We have gone through stages. Rowan Atkinson in Maigret, Jeeves and Wooster with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, as examples of our viewing tastes. This is my first experience with Community and earlier this week I was introduced to Inspector Spacetime. 

It reminded me I had recently acquired a new TARDIS from Black Tree Design. The previous one was resin, and has been travelling since taking part in a Time Tripper Game at Cangames in Ottawa in 2019. She will return when ready. 

This is a nice metal model, which came in 5 pieces, So as I titled this post, Inspector Spacetime, Not!!
