Cleaning out the garage this evening I found my Super Cobra video game (from 1982). I loved this game as a kid.
I think it still works. Unfortunately I didn't have any C batteries laying around in order to test it .
Finally finished moving stuff to safety after our flood at the end of March. Thankfully 95% undamaged but some sad losses too.
This model, marketed by Entex in the 1980's, is a reproduction of the Hubley SCII first issued, I think, in 1962. Unlike the more recent Minicraft issue, the Entex model is cast in the same extra-heavy gauge plastic as the original Hubley, which is allowing me to shape and re-sculpt the body shell to more accurate proportions.
I've considered converting the model to an SCIII. I'm capable of a correct conversion, but, given the number of complex and custom builds I already have in progress, I haven't yet decided whether or not I want to invest the extra time and effort into this already extensive project. Time will tell.

ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER CLOUD II

This was a reissue of the Hubley kit from 1960.

This early analog electronic speedometer and RPM meter was designed by Dave Erisman and sold for $22.50 in 1977. This simple device may have faired better in the market if it could have also measured distance. One cool fact about this speedometer is that it is the brand used aboard the Gossamer Condor's record flight and is now included in its display at the Smithsonian.

One of the first commercial electronic bicycle computers, the Entex was the first dual processor 24 bit model to hit the market. In comparison to modern units this computer was gigantic and used six AA batteries for power.
I cut it to waterline last year. A green trash bag makes a fast effective sea. I imagine it’s moored since there are no wake waves. Yet.
Krista adorned the piano, the ex-CN diesel locomotive bell, the (at left) Holden K3L diesel loco air horn and the (at right) ex-CN Newfoundland Division Holden Nathan M3H locomotive air horn with seasonal decorations. That's the RMS Lusitania (Entex kit) which took me 19 years of intermittent attention to complete. Below that is the MLW-Alco brass builders plate from Canadian Pacific FB-1 number 4416 (serial number 77377, August 1950) Wolsely Street Peterborough Ontario.
Released by Entex late in 1980, it gets its name because of its 2-player mode (there was no PacMan1). One person plays as PacMan and the other plays as the ghost. Very interesting concept made this a very fun game. You could also play it like the classic 1 player Pac-Man.

The Silver Cloud was originally a Hubley model kit from the sixties, but this box is from a later produced kit by Entex, made either in Japan or Korea. Cropped from a much larger picture!
