Inspired by the classic MPC plastic model kit, from the 1970's TV series "The Bionic Woman", here's a small freebie set of a operating theatre styled room. Contains a fully assembled room set with 2 "computers", lamp and operating table. Plus standalone versions of the computers, lamp, empty room and table. Download [3.23mb .zip] from.... http://www.sparkyworld.co.uk/3d10own.htm For now click on any freebie on that page to get to the download page. Please Note: As with all fan art models, this one is understandably non-commerical.

This is so nice of you.  Thank you!

It does look like the actual model.  Thanks.

He he, I love the analogue clock! Once again thank you Mr Sparky for your fun contributions. You make me smile time and again.

That is so awesome :thumbupboth:

That 1977 Death Star Playset of yours is my absolute favourite though. I remember being incredibly jealous of the neighbour's kid that had one of those...

...this was probably in around 1978 by the way. Although if a neighbours kid had one now, I'd feel the same...

Thank you!!!! I was just using your older OR set today. And I bought a number of item from you last week. This will come in very handy. Please keep up the good work.

I had the $6,000,000 Man model where he was kicking through a brick wall.  However, I recall the figure's face looked more like Buddy Ebsen than Lee Majors to me...

 

EDIT-here it is...

And Here's Mr Sparky's inspiration...

http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=11852

I had the kit depicting Steve Austin lifting a gorilla over his head.  I may have had the diorama  of Steve fighting a crocodile as well (though I may be remembering a friend's kit).

I used to get Silly Putty and shape it around the bionic "innards" and then carefully pry open a "gash" as to suggest damaged "syntho' skin".  The naturally biege color of the putty served well enough for caucasian skin.  Anybody else do that?

Sincerely,

Bill

Thanks everyone! monkeycloud - Yea - the deathstar model was a mega-desirable here in the UK, mostly because it was virtually unobtainable. Even now amongst adult collectors it's often got the status of things like the blue snaggletooth. WandW - do you recall the 12in steve austin doll with the lifting engine ? That was another 70's must have. Perfect for battling with action man, who was our version of the 12in GI Joe. And yes that is the inspiration for this one. Though the source was Arthur Wards book, Classic Kits. If you live in the UK and love retro - The Works is doing them cheap along with some other ones. Redfern - Never did the silly putty thing, though I've used thick stage face paints and rice-krispies to 'scab' up kids. Used to work on a kids play-bus, but now it's the GF's grandkids and their friends and they all love that kinda stuff. Tigers and scaly dragons are also popular. Though last few weeks it's been union jacks for the jubilee and mostly for adults :) nobodyinparticular - thanks! you keep buying and I'll keep making this stuff:)

Oh, you created make-up for people!  Nah, I used the Silly Putty on the model kit of Steve Austin, basically staging the assembled figurine with a bare leg and arm by omitting the removable sleeve and pants leg pieces, and building up the putty.

And yes, I had the 12 inch action figure.  It had a push button mounted on the back that when repeatedly pressed, provided a "rachet" action for the bionic arm, allowing it to lift a plastic "engine block".  The doll also had a "fish-eye" peephole lens running through the head, serving as his bionic eye.

I had the first release of the doll and so I was somewhat disappointed with the bionic detailing.  It consisted of two clear acrylic pieces with simple decal backings one fitted within the arm.  One could reveal them by rolling up a surface hugging, skin colored sheath of elastic.  Years later I realized that element was basically an opaque condom!  Later editions of the figure had an arm and legs that were hollow and possessed physical "hardware" like frames, pistons and gears.  One could reveal these details by removing flush mounted "access panels".  (My dad wouldn't let me get one of these improved versions as it was rather more expensive and I already had one.

I also owned "Mask-atron", the android duplicate based upon the John Saxon character from one of the more popular episodes.  Like the first edition Steve Austin, it too just had clear acrylic wedges with "bionic decals".  But it came with 3 swappable faces, John Saxon's, Lee Majors' and Richard Anderson's (Oscar Goldman).  Saxon's big reveal as a robot was likely inspired by the movie "WestWorld" with Yul Brynner playing a robotic cowboy.  In a repair sequence, Brynner's face is removed to show wires and circuit boards.  The Six Million Dollar Man paid homage by having Steve literally punch Saxon's "face" to the ground.  Thus the toy had removable faces.  To increase play value, it also came with swappable forearms.  One could remove the "human" limbs at the elbow joints and replace them with, get this, a claw-like shovel and a suction cup mounted upon an extended rod.  Looking back, that second attachment was effectively a Dalek's plunger arm!

Actually, I liked the features of the "Fembots" from the "Bionic Woman" line better.  Only the "face" region detached instead of the entire front half of the head as with "Mask-atron", and when removed, robotic eyes and a speaker element was revealed, closer to the motif depicted in the episodes.  But my dad was not about to let me get a "Barbie" doll...bloody gender stereotypes.

Ah, childhood memories!

Sincerely,

Bill

Cool! !!

Oh, you created make-up for people! More paintings than make up:) Full head paint jobs - like whole globes - on ill kids where the best ones. Took hours, and did the back in, but the way it made the kids feel was amazing! Nah, I used the Silly Putty on the model kit of Steve Austin.. Nice technique! We sometimes used plasticine on stuff, often as a nose weight for planes so they swing around better when being shot at with air-rifles;) Later on milliput for proper modelling. And yes, I had the 12 inch action figure. Yea thats the dude, but don't remember the panel version. Though I do recall the biotronic stickers with 2000ad. Mine ended up on a cardboard robot, now worth around 200 quid! Just googled and someone has posted a set.. http://io9.com/5725984/become-a-diy-cyborg-with-these-vintage-biontronic-stickers-from-2000-ad ...which could look way cool on a poser figure:) I also owned "Mask-atron" ...the "Fembots"... Now theres two I don't remember at all. Maybe they where a US only model, but certainly sounds like they had great play value. But the movie Westworld and Futureworld, certainly enjoyed and still do when they are shown now. Logans Run was another chessy classic! ....my dad was not about to let me get a "Barbie" doll...bloody gender stereotypes. Not sure about mine - though he did keep me well supplied with airfix and hornby. Which I'd know consider as good parenting :) Ah, childhood memories! Oh yes and beats being an adult:) Though I guess that stays with us, as a lot of my stuff has homages and references to these things. Especially the work of Gerry Anderson and Derek Meddings. Sadly though adult pressures do interfer with these joys and this is likely to be the last freebie for a while. Everyones finding it tough right now to buy and sell poser content. 3d sales are dropping way quicker than bankers get bonuses. So on a business level like other sites I'm diversifying into other areas to support the poser stuff. On a personal level I also find hard to carry on when people steal. On the last sale 45 people got stuff they didn't pay for. OK I know they wouldn't have paid anyway, but it does make you feel like giving up. Equally I'm mindfull that the majority of decent folks, like here, shouldn't lose out because of the actions of a scummy minority. Plus I think it's important to support poser when things are tight. So I'm be going to take a few weeks out and adding some new and differrent types of content to the site while also working on some new ideas.

That looks cool as hell man Ill have to do a render with that at some point lol. It brings back memories, I also had the model of Austin kicking down a wall or a steel door set in the wall..... I remember the trouble I had getting my crappy orange paint to cover the plastic. (now that i think about it it was probably just leftover mold releaser)

Yeah memories... I have the blue snaggletooth in very nice shape myself (Along with about 98% of the original run of the figures and a good pile of the vehicles. Came in a plastic bag and no 12 year old kid id gonna leave a toy in a plastic bag ....  Also had the north american version of the Deathstar  set (the one made of plastic with the big gun on top and the trash masher in the basement.

 

Six million dollar man... man I would not miss that show for nothin back when I was a kid. between all the christmasses and birthday gifts i got back then I wound up with  Steve austin (the one with the clear plastic thingies) Still got him somewhere though the rubber  on his arm is in very bad shape, that stuff deteriorated pretty bad  if not kept in perfect conditions. My sister got the bionic woman  and  One of us  (cant remember which) got Oscar Goldman, loved that exploding briefcase.
