I should tell you, most Muggles aren't accustomed to seeing a flying car.

I first made a model of the flying Anglia as part of my first "Hollywood Customs" set, but always wanted to take a crack at a larger, more detailed version of the car. Thanks to the resin casting efforts of Juha Airio and Tapani Rauramo of Air-Trax resin, I was able to make that happen.
Box Art Archives: A Tribute to Paul Alexander
Tuesday, August 9. 2011
I've been asked a few times about the "1984" in "spencer1984," and no - it's not my birth year (I'd been kicking around for quite a few years by then). It was actually a reference to the car I had when I first registered my e-mail address. In the following years, the number became more and more appropriate as I realized just how many of the things I enjoy had their debut that year: Transformers, Wheeled Warriors, Ghostbusters, Beverly Hills Cop, The Terminator, and Gremlins just to name a few. One other property that first appeared that year but seems largely forgotten today was Robotix, Milton Bradley's modern take on the classic Erector Sets. The series' obscurity is too bad...not just because they were pretty decent toys, but because they had what remains some of my favorite box art of all time, courtesy of artist Paul Alexander.
