Re: TK4186 FINALLY reporting for duty!

Now you need a little Stormtrooper action figure to mount on it ... perhaps swap out the head from a Luke/Han removeable-helmet figure, with the head of Bail Organa for a customized "Roland Batrouni" version.

Well.... if we're going to post Doctor Who-related photos from "a long time ago," I simply must share a somewhat embarrassing candid shot of my being allegedly buggered in 1983 by Nicholas Courtney (a.k.a.
