News Displaying 118 to 127 of 122  It seems like a bit of a coincidence but I came across a photo of the Asahi Sonorama X Bomber disc on FromJapan the other day.
Sadly, it was without its book: as part of a set of Sonorama discs that were being sold.
This bit of merchandise has got me a bit intrigued.
It would be great to get a complete item of this to scan all the pages and photograph the whole thing. For, what I count as v11.3 of the site, I made some changes to the way media pages display images.
The thumbnails are cropped to 4:3, as it was messy having images from different places creating all different row heights etc.
The thumbnails have been made about as big as they can be to make them easier to see.
I thought it would be much cleaner to have the titles of the images hidden unless you roll over the lower part of the image, at which point it gets revealed.
This feature might get a little further tweaking.
As always, clicking on a thumbnail opens the image in the lightbox and clicking the title opens the image direct in the browser window, which can help in downloading the image if the browser lacks a "save target as" option. I see that Xkeeper: the admin for The Cutting Room Floor, has been having similar trouble with the 'dead internet' of bots and DDoS attacks, along with a number of other site admins mentioned in the article:
TCRF has been getting DDoSed – Xkeeper's blog
I was interested to see that these administrators hadn't been swayed toward cloudflare and similar solutions either.
If and when I start seeing the problem again, I'll give the suggested asn.ipinfo.app blacklist method a whirl.  The other week, I got through almost all my recent photographs from the church at Holystone in Northumberland, which is one that I'd been wanting to include in this project for years.
The church is not far from the Lady's Well, which is a remarkably thin place with a very interesting history.
Up next is likely to be the church at Ingram.  Thank to Dan Hitchin, I was able to expand the collection of images of this publication that combines a lot of publicity stills with a lot of artwork that isn't found elsewhere.
In one of the new photographs (IMG_6123), you can see one of the double-page images much more clearly: the Alliance ship attacking what I think we can take as being Pluto Alpha Base.
The page text resembles a last report from Captain Carter (pictured, lower-right) to Star Fleet before the base is destroyed.
On the ground are some interesting anti-aircraft (or anti-spacecraft) vehicles, which are not seen in the show, but have a striking design.
Equally, you might take it (as I did originally), given that the base itself isn't pictured, that this is a different EDF installation: somewhere else inside the solar system or beyond, being attacked by the Alliance. Also, the appearance of the terrain is different.
I took it to be a volcanic planet: much like Alloria.
These ground vehicles could be specialised for other: possibly higher-gravity, environments, given that they aren't seen on Pluto in the show.
This copy of the book can be found on ebay, but its condition doesn't seem to merit the price.
I will keep an eye out for one in better condition so that it can be properly scanned for the website.
Update: I found some additional images of this in the Articles and Scans folder: one of them showing the Dai-X and the constituent fighters, which have been now been brought together in the same folder as more recent images.
