Ford Prefect Hitchiker's Guide (BBC)

[Neptune]

Can't wait to see more. Are you going to do the Hitchhiker that blessed the covers, the big green smiley face with the thumbs up?

[Maverick65]

Hey Joe,

That Ford Prefect is one Hoopy Frood Dude. He is going to be a fantastic addition to my collection. I will place him on my build list right below Marvin.

Thanks for all your hard work and pictures of your creations.

Share and enjoy...

Hi Neptune - my interest is more in the BBC stuff. The green guy is more an American thing and never really appeared on any covers or material in the UK.

If you fancied having a go I'd certainly give you my 5 cents worth of advice throughout the process :D

And I bet if you nudged Gary Pilsworth he'd have a go

You'd just need to figure out which 'pose' you were wanting as I think there were a few variations.
If it were me I'd go for the one with the camera and suitcase as with such a simple character, any additional details you can add is a bonus....

I see with regards to the BBC stuff... I'd have to think about which one, maybe start out with the simplest and then add things to the main character... Actually, I think this would be right up webdudes alley as well.

Hi Joe, Just wanted to see when Mr. Ford will be available on your website. Not trying to be pushy, just don't want to miss out...

If you create Zaphod how about having him coming out or near the Total Perspective Vortex, that would be cool. (My 2cents worth anyway )

Although I'm sure whatever you come up with is going to be great anyway.

Again thanks for all your hard work and for sharing.

Hi Neptune - I might have a 'very' basic play with the green guy this weekend and see if you or anyone else wants to pick up the baton with it. As for Webdude - is he still going? Haven't seen sight nor sound of him in years....

Hi Maverick - slightly behind but one more week should see the kit complete at least. If your not bothered about instructions I might send you and Red the pre-release version (instruction free) seeing as you two are extra keen

[BazookaJo]

Okay - tiny distraction with a mini-build for the missus, but the Ford kits complete and I will resume the instructions next week ;D

Greetings Earthling,

This is your Vogon captain, so stop what you're doing and pay attention!!! Good that's better-if you dont want pushed into the airlock you will finish up with those Ford Prefect instructions so I can build him, cause I need someone to read my poetry too. If not him then YOU.

Just wanted to see how things are progressing after the little interlude...Tony Stark looks teally cool by the way. No pressure just waiting in antisapation. Well I'm off to find my towel.
