    Black Hole Validation!!

    Took the family to the Magic Kingdom this week and I wore my home made Black Hole V.I.N.Cent. shirt and TBH robot pins on a Disney park lanyard.

    I had a Japnese boy and his mother ask (with really broken english) about my pins, and a guy about my age ask about my shirt. On top of that, the inquiry about my shirt happened in the Main Street Emporium- the location of one of my favorite Black Hole memories from 1979/80: the store was filled with TBH merchandise back then as well as animated dioramas in the display windows.

    Just a little TBH fun for the holidays!


    A little background:

    Now if you've been to any Disney theme park in the last 10 years, you know that pin collecting/trading is a standard part of the experience for many many people. (more info here: Disney pin trading - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

    Last year Disney released one pin that had V.I.N.Cent on it- not being satisfied with that, I made my own pins using old Black Hole charms I found on ebay:



    And TBH shirts being in even less available, I made my own:

            >How in teh WORLD did you paint the thing?

            Years ago I coated it with flourescent yellow over white, and drybrushed black over that, silver over THAT, so it looked interior lit.

            NEAT! Looks like the kind of thing the crew would wear during PT!

              I've got a Cygnus model, but have yet to decided how to paint it.

              While I'm on a Black Hole tear, anyone here interested in a Palomino uniform patch? I'm looking into doing a run of these. They would be about $5 each.

                  I have several of the custom made dolls from the Emporium window, the 12" scale. I actually know where there are two of them available for sale, the larger20" + size for Pizer and Reinhardt.
